They did. The V4 Supercharger pedestals they started installing last year support up to 1000V. This is also the pedestals they're selling to third parties like Ford and BP.

This is "future proofing" because they're currently installing them with the older power cabinets that don't provide that voltage. But V4 power cabinets have been spotted/leaked, so that's coming soon too. They can retrofit the existing V4 sites to support 800-1000V charging at any time.
