Looks like a Tesla, S or 3. I'm thinking Model 3. I'm an electrical dolt, but I thought there is no danger in handling an EV in water because there is no potential relative to ground. Even if isolation has been compromised and the body is hot, it would be hard to get two parts of the body at different potentials. So the rule of staying away from orange should be pretty reliable. You certainly don't want to go bridging any HV bits with your body, but if you're in the water with an EV and the HV is compromised, the water is a MUCH better conductor than you are. Seems like a lot of water (like a creek) would be safer than just a little.
Am I missing something? If not, why aren't these guys trained better?
