It tells us that Tesla shipped early, perhaps too early in the development process, and that Tesla was willing to do a lot of replacing. The former doesn't surprise me. Many ICE cars have several electric motors, e.g. to lower/raise the windows. Why would you expect the electric motors in an EV to behave like the ICE rather than the electric motors in an ICE in terms of maintenance requirements? "Expect replacement after x hours of operation" etc.
