OEM tie rods are sometimes designed to fail under a certain load to prevent the forces from being transmitted to other steering components. A beefier tie rod means that, although it'll be harder to break the tie rod itself, there's a chance it could transmit the force and break something else along the line IF it was designed to be an intentional failure point as I mentioned.

Many people with Broncos who've upgrade their tie rods also upgrade their steering racks as well to strengthen everything at once.

I have no idea what the Cybertruck suspension/steering system looks like, but I'm just sharing a common concern/design intention that affects some other vehicles.
When Raptors (even 1G hydro rack) get the really massive tie rod upgrades they usually start going through steering racks.

Never ending chase for upgrades on the rack... We've got a spare now, so we're going to make a cast brace when the market is ready for more upgrades.

You mentioned a puck lift kit in the future, any soft date ranges on that?
