It’s accepting Tesla’s framing. A nicer term would be “established”. Legacy used here has the sense of being a white elephant.

Or 'Viable' or 'Profitable'. Legacy is used in the sense of "Companies that make money are considered legacy in silicon valley"

Let's see which "profitable" company makes the most profit (per vehicle sold) in the next quarters. You might be surprised.

In college admissions, it is certainly positive.

Yeah, in almost everything except software it's a positive word. That's why I included the bit about the software connotation there.
There's a whole separate discussion to be had why the word has so different meanings too.

> Something handed down from an ancestor or a predecessor or from the past
That is the more common sense you will find, which implies the predecessor's passing. Not very positive state for the ancestor.
Isn't it sorta weird that companies other than tesla are called "legacy"? I know that term is almost uniquely bad within software, but considering the site I'd think they know what connotation it carries for many people.
