It's impossible to tell from a single photo, but it looks like the fire was possibly localized to the wheel-well. I can't think of anything that might ignite in there, though.
Brakes yo. They get HOT
on EVs as far as I understand the brakes are barely used due to regenerative braking, so they should not be running hot unless the car is being driven very hard.
This is generic knowledge and not necessarily applicable to the Cybertruck however.
Spot on if it has regen braking. I haven’t had to change brake discs/shoes for 5 years.
