Most likely much better for the HV and drive parts. And there's no air intake or exhaust for the engine either, so it's a lot less sensitive to water.
12v side is pretty much the same junk that's in all cars. Apart from model specific mistakes (e.g. Cybertruck), which sometimes happen, all remotely modern cars are waterproof in any sane use.
That there are occasionally car models which have design flaws leading to water ingress or condensation issues. Sometimes there's a fix, sometimes not.
Cybertruck dying in a car wash was one recent example.
