Even Tesla said it wasn't the drivers fault and there's no evidence that the drivers drove through "deep water":

> “After finally getting to speak to a manager, he told me [the battery] had water in it due to the fact the weather in Scotland has been so bad. That was the issue. They said it’s not necessarily my fault but it’s not Tesla’s to pay under warranty. He reminded me there was a yellow weather warning in some parts of Scotland,” one of the owners told Edinburgh Live.

Besides, Tesla's CEO disagrees that "deep water" is a problem[2]:

> A Tesla works as a boat for short periods of time, as an electric car has no air intake or exhaust to block & battery/motor/electronics are water-sealed. Submarines are just underwater EVs.

That doesn't actually say that the owner didn't drive it through deep water. The articles I have seen on this incident seem to very carefully tiptoe around what actually happened to the car.
