I love the idea of 48v and utilizing ethernet standards.
Will the Cybertruck actually use all 4 pairs in every connected ethernet cable? Will every module be a network switch to daisy chain the wire? Will they just leave out 2 pairs when the wire is only used for power? If everything is ethernet connected you can bet you'll be able to control every small motor with your phone.
No critical system will ever rely on wireless transmissions. It's too easy to jam. But this eliminates the need to go wireless. You will always need power wires and this turns your power lines into data lines. The power and data can traverse the same wire at the same time. So many questions but I look forward to seeing it in action.
You may still have components that need power separately. Seat warmers would need a dedicated thicker gauge.
