Rear bumper

The Rear Bumper is a crucial exterior component that provides both protective and aerodynamic functions on Tesla vehicles. It serves as the first line of defense against minor rear impacts, houses critical safety sensors, and contributes to the vehicle's overall efficiency. Modern Tesla bumpers integrate parking sensors, rearview cameras, and radar systems for Autopilot functionality, while their design optimizes airflow to reduce drag and extend range. Constructed from impact-resistant materials like thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) or polypropylene, they're engineered to absorb energy in collisions and protect underlying components like the rear trunk and lighting systems.
