All production vehicles will experience over-heated brakes on a track, driven all out, or during multiple repeated high speed braking events without providing time between events for the brakes to cool. But that is not emergency braking, it's track driving.Did you see the brakes were overheated? So you are saying the brakes overheat because of the tires? Put on different tires and the brakes will be a cool as a cucumber? I don't think so.
The Cybertruck has more regen than I have ever felt, in any previous Tesla. I've been driving mine around, on and off-road, for 4 days now, including some spirited driving on hilly and curvy country roads, and the only time I've used the brakes was do some emergency stopping practice.
Of course, this was without appreciable cargo or a heavy trailer, but when I have heavy cargo or a heavy trailer without trailer brakes, I'm probably not driving in a spirited manner. The bottom line is the brakes just don't get used unless you have to stand on them hard in an emergency and the perform as expected for that, just fine.
TL;DR: Cybertruck brakes don't get used enough to suffer brake fade in normal use.
