No car in existence can make use of them yet.

Volkswagen has already announced three cars based on their 800 volt platform to be released across the next three years:
1. Porsche Taycan in sedan and wagon variants at the end of this year: https://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/hybrid-electric/a21239...
2. Audi e-tron GT at the end of 2020: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvNw15W_EK8
3. Porsche Macan probably at the end of 2021: https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/porsche-macan-electric-on...
And I'm sure there'll be other 800 volt cars from Volkswagen and other manufacturers in the future.
Tesla did not initially do this because they wanted the batteries on their customer's cars to last for a long time. Now that they have the data, they bumped it to 250kW along with the on-route battery warmup.
So far, I have not heard a single detail on how the Porsche Taycan deals with making sure the battery life is being preserved. This could have financial and ecological cost if not handled properly.

Porsche's been making a particular point of the Taycan's temperature management. The goal is to be able to drive it like a sports car without overheating it. They talk about the Taycan offering "reproducible performance".
Teslas have a history of overheating when you try to drive them like sports cars:
