I don't think he's assuming that Tesla (etc.) cars are more secure, just that they're different, and so would need different tools.

A quick Google suggests the Tesla S, X, 3, and Y all have multiple CAN buses (https://teslatap.com/modifications/extracting-internal-vehic...)
Nearly everything has multiple can busses because CAN is too slow for many/most usecases nowadays. Some car manufacturers you can even feel the random lag in everything from the accelerator to the brake lights due to the canbus being so full it adds a half second delay before updating everything.

Automotive ethernet is faster and might be back to a single bus...

No, they have exactly same problems as regular OEMs
