Legacy manufacturers break stuff all the time. They wouldn't be taking shots at Tesla if they didn't see them as a threat.

They do, but never at the scale Tesla does. No legacy automaker would be fucking around with “autopilot” marketing language and overselling it so extensively, for example. They also tend to have a pretty good idea when their products will become available, unlike the cyber truck thus far
