Front bumper reinforcement impact bar

The Front Bumper Reinforcement Impact Bar (commonly called the bumper reinforcement beam) is a critical structural safety component mounted behind the front bumper cover. This high-strength aluminum or steel beam serves as the primary impact structure in frontal collisions, designed to absorb and redistribute crash energy away from the passenger cabin and protect key components like the frunk, cooling system, and headlights. In Tesla vehicles, it's engineered with specific crumple zones and integrates with the vehicle's advanced safety systems, while also providing mounting points for sensors and the bumper cover itself.
