There's information missing from this that prevents me from being outraged at Tesla.
In particular, was the car driven through standing water higher than the bottom lip of the car? my guess is that it was.

I think the most likely explanation here is that the battery compartment was damaged in a way that allows water intrusion, and then they drove in extremely wet weather which splashed into the compartment.
