It’s incredibly tough. Crazy well built… very heavy.
I’ve been kinetic pulled in deep sand by the recovery points. No concern at all with strength.
You wouldn’t want to pull from the bull bar… but you could hit something with them (deer) and be well protected.
====================
This bumper doesn't protect against deer, since the impact usually hits the sides, which are completely unprotected here.
So you'll have to talk the deer into hitting only the center of the bumper.

like the bumper, LOVE the fenders any idea on what those are anyone?
I'm with you on going for steel bumpers, which I have on my other trucks(C4Fab) but this aluminum gigacast on our Cybertrucks is intentionally made to crumple, to absorb energy in front of the hardened steel cab. There's no steel frame under the truck body, like in most other 1/2ton+ trucks. If you hit a deer at 80mph, the casting might crack. Look at what happened to Kryptek when a camry entered his lane and clipped his front right tire: https://www.cybertruckownersclub.com/forum/threads/got-in-a-crash-giga-cast-fractured-video.57533/Unlike the TSportline front bumper, this one is made of aluminum, which significantly compromises its protective capabilities. Heavy bumpers provide better protection than light ones; I've learned this from personal experience after seven collisions with deer.
Furthermore, the bumper lacks mounting holes for a Bullbar—and it appears that Bullbar compatibility was not intended for this bumper at all.
TSportline front bumper has 10 threaded mounting holes for Bullbar.
