But not my heart!I understand that, but we’re talking short timeframes. I’m asking if the frunk is a reasonable option.
Given enough time, effort and the right circumstances anything can be stolen from anywhere.

That I can live with. I’m generally getting things out of the frunk anyway (backpack, bags, etc).Downside is someone could see you putting something in there. You could arm and disarm into the center console storage without anyone seeing you.
Console Vault recently started making safes for the 2017-2020 Tesla Model 3 and 2020 Model Y (all pre-refreshed center consoles). Here is a short installation video I made and I shared a 10% discount code the owner provided me to share with the group.
they also make a 4 wheel combo and a barrel key ... you choose at checkoutI appreciate the effort that company has gone to in order to provide something that is well-hidden and inconspicuous.
However, I must point out that the 3-wheel combination lock is one of the lowest security options they could have picked. This type of combination lock can be opened by a relatively unskilled attacker in about 60 seconds, and by a skilled attacker in about 15.
This is a video from Lock Picking Lawyer, where he shows how to do this on a 4-wheel lock of a similar type (this is a key lock box rather than a small safe but the lock mechanism is nearly identical).
I feel this is insufficient security for a firearm. Cars get broken into all the time, and if the firearm gets stolen that just contributes to the problems we have with firearms. Law-abiding gun owners have an ethical obligation to keep their weapons from falling into the wrong hands.
The truth of the matter is ANY lock and ANY safe can be hacked. I’ve dealt with criminals stealing/breaking into cars for most of my adult life and I will say that 99.9% of them don’t have the tools or knowledge to break into these types of gun safes.I appreciate the effort that company has gone to in order to provide something that is well-hidden and inconspicuous.

Where would you mount that? And how? The lock may be pick proof but my fear is they can just walk away with the entire safe vs the console vault where it is more solidly mounted into the car.
I'm looking too, I might go with the combo lock console vault. The key option may be more secure, but I don't carry keys anymore, granted that thre is always an option to start carrying a keys again...Revving an old thread here. I have used a Vaultek Lifepod secured with a steel cable under the seat of several of my vehicles, especially when traveling. But darn it, the thing doesn't fit under the seat of the Model 3. Still searching for a good option that lets me securely stash my pistol when I'm in those pesky carry prohibited zones.
The Taptes box won’t fit. You could probably squeeze a cable into the secured area though. If someone was scoping out the lot and saw you putting a box or something hidden in cloth from the passenger compartment into the frunk/trunk I bet their first instinct would assume its a high value item you're trying to hide. You can place the whole holster and gun into the vault without drawing any attention.How I could use this console vault: https://www.consolevault.com/assets/images/CVIS-1126_B.pdf
with this hard drive hiding device? TAPTES Tesla Model 3 & Model Y USB Hub, Fit 2020 Tesla Model 3 and 2020 Model Y (only mine is for a 2018).
What do you guys think about drilling a hole into the safe to pass a USB cable through?
My only other idea is to put a safe in the trunk, and tie it to the trunk release.
Then keep a small box in the car, so can transfer my firearm into the box, then get out open the trunk and put the box inside the trunk safe. The reason for the box is so that no one can see you putting a firearm into the safe. You could also detach your holster, and cover with a cloth, hat etc.
I agree, which is why it isn't ideal and our laws are kinda stupid to force you into doing that. It would need to be hidden in like a towel or something or something not obvious...The Taptes box won’t fit. You could probably squeeze a cable into the secured area though.

There is plenty of room to do a hole in the top of the box but that creates a weak point where they can put a tool to pry. I would look for one of those thin flat cables and squeeze it between the existing wall and safe.I agree, which is why it isn't ideal and our laws are kinda stupid to force you into doing that.

Is there room to drill a hole in the top of this to pass the USB-C cable into the safe (maybe add a gromit for a clean fit)?
