They're especially unprotected. Most electric vehicles don't fail as spectacularly or often as Teslas, eg losing power and locking people inside to burn and igniting in crashes. I'm sure some examples of some other models will crop up but they likely got banged around a lot more by the floodwaters.

This hurricane was foreseen a little bit so if electric cars generally present a threat there was an opportunity to remove them from the situation. Unfortunately under a neoliberal two party dictatorship that is not something that could be done.

Apparently in some cities in China, they park the cars on elevated highways before a flood to avoid water damage

Critical support to Tesla, wish all cars would spontaneously self-destruct
