I'm not sure, but I suspect the ground clearance isn't the major factor at play. I believe there are legal limits, such that cars must have at least a certain amount of clearance. So I'd be surprised if the Tesla S had a significantly lower clearance than other vehicles.

Just an anecdote, I've known one guy who had a chunk of old exhaust pipe come up through the floor of his vehicle, almost injuring him. It was a pickup truck with high clearance.
Why isn't the ground clearance the major factor ?
The batteries were damaged because an item went through the bottom of the car.
I meant it's not a major factor in assessing damage rates relative to other vehicle models, because the clearance is very similar, model-to-model.
