A headlight that leaks? Failed welds on battery packs? Get me a break.
He changed it? It doesn't look like rabar10 has moderator permissions.
I don't necessarily agree w/the OP's use of words in his original thread title, but for the OP's thread to be edited w/o even any notification or indication in the 1st post that it was done is ummm... not something I agree with.
uhhh...yeah...that's 2 parts...please do expand and point out the other 10 parts that have failed...inquiring minds want to know!!!!
No problem except for cost. A lot cheaper to fix now on <200. Butvyes, regardless, small recall fixes happen all the time on lots of cars.

That's an amazingly few pieces they are having trouble with! That means the "production hell" is not as bad as it seems, unless you're up close to it, like Elon must be.

Moderators can, do, and should change titles when appropriate. If a title is click-bait, inaccurate, misleading, or does not represent the thread contents accurately, changes will be made. And yes @rabar10 is a moderator.
Yet there was no notation anywhere to indicate a ninja-edit was made and who did it.
I wonder how many other posts and threads here on TMC have been ninja-edited.
I don't necessarily disagree w/the title edit itself, but am more concerned about the ninja-editing.
This was not an appropriate time. Maybe your editor doesn't understand basic English? I'm sorry but it's pretty clear this editor was in the wrong here.
Failed -
-not achieving its end or not lasting; unsuccessful
-not functioning properly; broken-down

The mod in question noted that the title was changed. In general title changes do not necessarily need notification (I've seen plenty of cases where it is just edited). Mods are free to edit titles as they see fit. They don't do that to post content however (they would note it when they do).
Where is the evidence of failed welds in the battery packs? (I didn't see it in the article you linked to.)
And some of us got heat on this forum for suggesting that the car was hand built 
Nothing in the linked article mentioned any parts that failed. They replaced the seats, but the old seats didn't "fail." They replaced the headlights with "a newer version" but the old ones still put out light. They replaced some battery packs but the old ones still worked.
Fail is obviously the wrong word and anyone who has a "basic understanding" of English would know that.

Obviously they didn't function properly if they were replaced. The part design failed.
The pushback over a single word on here is both hilarious and predictable. Multiple users I'm sure had to go to their safe space when they saw the word. Moderators had to take action to protect others from seeing it.
That's enough fun for one night I think. Until next time....

There are many reasons to replace parts even if they are functioning perfectly. There have been countless instances of Tesla replacing perfectly functioning parts on Model S’s and X’s when they were brought in for service. Add in the fact that these vehicles are very early production. Saying the part failed means that it stopped working.
You are correct in one thing, the pushback over the word is ridiculous. Accusing the mods of improper behavior for changing a misleading title, and saying that they don’t have a basic understanding of the English language - absurd.
