Cybertruck front casting might need 8-ton casting press instead of 6-ton.
Cybertruck might need stronger front casting than is used on cars because of
Winch
Snow plow blade
Snow blower
Many police cars, road service trucks, farm trucks have mounted on front - push bar, bully bar, brush bar
Moose / kangaroo / deer guard
Front hitches
Baja & other off-roading when truck is jumping bumps (catching air) it can land with front-end crashing wheels into the ground first putting a lot more stress in the front-end than city street vehicles experience.

Why do people put a hitch on the front of a truck?
With a trailer coupled to the front of your vehicle, instead of the rear, you have more direct control over its movement. A front receiver hitch allows you to more easily park a trailer into a tight spot. It is also great for use at the boat landing, allowing you to maneuver the trailer with enhanced control.

I once thought that the front and rear castings could be the same but it doesn't make sense. The rear casting requires the 8K-ton gigapress because it has to be much beefier to hold the weight of the bed and for towing; the front doesn't.
I agree the rear has that requirement. But if the intent is to kick ass in Baja, the front may need to be similarly strong. It wouldn’t surprise me if Elon’s personal passion project had been engineered for specifications well beyond what we might expect. Not saying it’s true, just that it wouldn’t surprise me.
