Maybe all brands, but can't be sure.
Tesla is "known" or at lest publicised in multiple places that they have pretty bad quality control, and I guess also bad design on some parts.
So bad protection on the battery at tesla design? Maybe? Is there a "review" on car internals somewhere? I have no idea.
Could another vehicle survive the same thing? Who knows, maybe? Maybe not?
Tho there are some who said they went with a tesla directly into water slashing over the hood. So maybe some are waterproof?
I looked at this awhile ago. There is a google doc maintained by some anti-Tesla investors who track every fire that can find. It is still much lower than the US average fires per car.
I think it gets more attention because:
The advice I’ve been given (on train/bus batteries) is to shove the vehicle if safe when it starts; then do whatever possible to fully submerge in fresh water. Obviously that isn’t really feasible.
You asked a lot of questions that you didn't know the answer to. A good journalist would have attempted to answer most of those questions in the article. Seeing how these questions weren't answered, it's safe to say this was a clickbait article written by a trash journalist.
