Tesla will implement much of the Cybertruck's technology in future models... but not all of it

During the recent presentation of fourth-quarter results, the North American manufacturer revealed to shareholders present at the event relevant information about the company’s future that is worth knowing. More specifically, reference was made to the reasons that led Tesla to market the Cybertruck, an absolutely disruptive vehicle that departs from everything we knew until not long ago.

Apparently, this vehicle with completely straight lines is nothing less for Tesla than an experiment made real and taken into production, a testing ground for future technologies that will be integrated into the brand’s vehicles, which must first be validated by customers themselves in order to assess their level of acceptance and performance.

That is why we can take it for granted that, sooner or later, all of Tesla’s new vehicles will integrate a new 48-volt architecture, just as the Cybertruck currently does. Making the leap from a 12-volt architecture, like the one used by the vast majority of vehicles on the market today, to a 48-volt one is no easy task, especially if it is to be done in mass-production vehicles such as the Model 3 or the Model Y.

This is precisely the reason why Tesla itself has decided to share with other manufacturers its knowledge and experience in developing the 48-volt architecture integrated into the Cybertruck, in order to boost the production of third-party components based on this technology.

The Cybertruck is by far the most advanced model in the entire Tesla lineup

But the Cybertruck incorporates many more technical innovations, such as its Steer-by-wire steering system, with no bar connecting the steering wheel directly to the steering rack. Another technology that we will almost certainly see in future models from the North American manufacturer, but which first requires a validation period to avoid risks.

During the presentation, Tesla also referred to other pioneering technologies in the Cybertruck, such as its 800V architecture propulsion system, which is much more efficient and capable of handling higher charging power, thereby reducing waiting times at Superchargers. Or the Etherloop internal vehicle communications network, which, among other advantages, reduces the wiring between different components. All of these technologies will very likely also appear in future models from the brand.

There is, however, one exception which, as you are probably already imagining, is the external stainless steel skeleton that makes the Cybertruck a vehicle like no other. As we have already said, although all the technologies mentioned above will one day also appear in future models from the brand, it seems quite unlikely that we will ever see a Model 3 or a Model Y built on the basis of a stainless steel exoskeleton.

In any case, what does seem to be here to stay, to a greater or lesser extent, is the design language that Tesla debuted with its electric pickup. Something we have already seen in some details of other vehicles from the brand, such as the Cybercab or even the refreshed 2025 Model Y.
