At this point I don’t understand what the Tesla haters are even talking about.
I have the software. I use it daily. I am happy with it.
Somebody in twitter did a dangerous demonstration. This doesn’t change much.
Let’s talk about a different technology and maybe that could help you understand this:
There was a time when consumer drone tech would be looked at as “vaporware”. Almost certainly somebody in the 90s advertised something looking functionally like a DJI phantom and never delivered on it. Pretty much ever you robot I got advertised as a child comes to mind.
If somebody took a DJI phantom and crashed it into a building, does that make the current, existing, very real technology into “vaporware” in your mind?
There was a time when self driving tech was also vaporware, but that time has passed. Somebody using existing, very real technology in a stupid way doesn’t mean that it suddenly doesn’t exist.
