So quote those things then! The edit was designed to imply something worse than it was - or perhaps OP didn't even read the article but wanted an opportunity to rant about Tesla.
I read the article. I did not edit my comment. And the fact that this incident involved contractors doesn't make Tesla any less culpable, especially considering the pattern of accidents across their properties. This case just seemed to highlight how carelessly Tesla and those they contract with are about safety.
GP's complaint appears to be that you edited your quote by eliding parts of it that seem material to the story, not that you edited your comment. Edited comments get marked as such last I knew.
I've fired contractors for less.
