Different electrical system. The battery packs that power the drive systems are the ones you’re thinking of. Those are proper high voltage: 300-400V depending on model, battery pack.
The electrical systems in scope of this article are low voltage; most vehicles have 12V systems; Tesla is experimenting with 48V in the Cybertruck. Shouldn’t really be any substantial safety risk change as a result of this change.
