This is the same for all semi-modern cars. Plastic bumbers, even without sensors in them, are surprisingly expensive even on cheaper cars. But the good thing about plastic bumbers, is that they are fairly elastic and most often just bounce back into shape after the amount of deformation a slight fender bender can cause. And scratches are only a cosmetic concern since they can't rust.
Also, Tesla removed the ultrasonic sensors from both front and rear bumpers a while back.
