It'd be cheaper to delete the 12V bus entirely and add 48V -> 12V converters in front of legacy components, even if they needed several dozen of those converters.

I expect Tesla to still have a few components like that in the car.

Isn't that the point of the article though? That they run everything on 48V?

I think all the wires/communication are but some of the devices attached are lower then 48V, some very low voltage, and some might be 12V. We will see when its taken apart.
