I didn't have time to find the post last night but see P85D Front Motor Died and P85D Front Motor Died.He didn't say the extra motor insulated against all possible failures. He said if one "motor breaks down", you've got another.
Obviously if some other critical component common to both drive units fails, there will be issues.
Per the above, it's asserted that on a Model S, if the rear motor dies (unless it leaves its inverter intact), you're hosed.
