While those abandoned sheets were almost certainly burned up, I don't think many of the corresponding roadsters were in that building, though some may have been. These are most likely dead sheets; some other sheets in that same enclosure were marked with "zero volts" and "dead brick 2". In addition, bricked roadsters not actively being worked on were apparently stored in another building.
218 and 349 were/are Radiant Red cars based in California (Los Angeles and Newport Beach). Two Radiant Red roadsters were seen in the Gjeebs video; one outside (confirmed as US925 from its NY license plate, HIFIELD) and one by the electronics lab, as yet unidentified - which could be either 218, 349, or another car entirely.
391 was/is Glacier Blue and is based in Phoenix, AZ. Three glacier Blue roadsters were visible in the Gjeebs video, and three have been confirmed as destroyed: US27 (confirmed by Gruber as destroyed in a YouTube comment), US540 (reported by DeedWest as destroyed) and US1049 (reported by owner as destroyed). If destroyed, it would have to have been moved onsite between the Gjeebs video and the fire.
1311 was/is Jet Black, and is based in Oakland, CA. US464 is the only Black roadster known to have been destroyed of the four visible on-site in the Gjeebs video, one of which may have been US969 (which was not destroyed). Call this a maybe.
1457 was/is Gruber's own Electric Blue 2011 Sport with a gray interior, the 7th to last US Roadster built. It was displayed at a Ferrari dealer in Chicago for 10 years. It bricked and was sent to Gruber in June 2019 as a candidate for a battery recovery, which was never performed; Gruber then learned that the owner had arranged to sell it back to Tesla, but Gruber bought it from them instead in December 2019. After sitting bricked for 9 months, it turned out that 9 of its 11 sheets were good; as of March 2020, Gruber planned to install new sheets and return it to service. (An Electric Blue roadster was visible near the entrance to the electronics lab in the Gjeebs video, but I assumed - and still suspect - it was 516, which DeedWest reported to have been destroyed in the fire.)
It's likely that the 2 bad sheets from 1457 were the two labeled 1457 in the enclosure.
I guess it's a good time to share the revised color counts from re-watching more closely: a total of 28 roadsters can be seen onsite in the Gjeebs video; they're numbered here according to their positions in the attached diagram of the building (North is up):
5 Twilight Blue (18,21,22,23,26)
4 Arctic White (10,11,12,17)
4 Black (8,9,13,19)
3 Glacier Blue (14,16,20)
3 Thunder Gray (5,7,27)
2 Radiant Red (6,24)
2 Sterling Silver (3,28?)

1 Very Orange (15)

1 Lightning Green (25)
1 Electric Blue (4)

On further inspection of the videos, I’m moving 430 and 1219 from the “suspected” category to a “very strongly suspected” category, as an apparently brilliant yellow roadster can be seen in the aftermath video, and the positioning of several inoperable cars makes it unlikely 1219 could have been moved to safety.
US430 Brilliant Yellow (outside) #1
US1219 Glacier Blue (inside, AZ AF4H36) #16
Suspected; not confirmed
US620 Sterling Silver
US925 Radiant Red (outside, NY HIFIELD) #24
US1211 Glacier Blue
I’d move 1125 and 1216 into a “possible survivor” category, as seemingly unburnt cars of these colors are seen outside in the Gruber aftermath video.
US1125 Fusion Red (outside) #2
US1216 Lightning Green (outside, NC TTLYAMPD) #25
