Audi has sold less than 10k cars total with a 48v system since 2018 and isn't even double digit percent of their total US sales. MB does better with a few hundred thousand since 2018. Tesla will be shipping a couple million per year. I think it's still fair to say Tesla is spearheading the actual production of these cars, whenever it starts to happen for them.

Has Tesla moved to 48V in any platform beyond the Cybertruck? Last I read, they have delivered ~4000 of them, and I don't know that they've updated the manufacturing of the existing lines to 48V yet.

Tesla has said they're moving to 48v for "all future vehicles". So my assumption is whenever their existing models get a big change-up, 48v will be part of that change-up. I doubt they're going to switch e.g. Model 3 to 48v starting next year or anything unless there's some compelling cost cutting reason to do so.
They're also using it for their humanoid robot
