This is a big part of why Tesla is valued much higher than Ford and GM combined, despite selling a fraction of the cars.
And people here tried to argue that once the legacy automakers turn their attention to EV they'd crush Tesla within a quarter. lol, they're basically steering a sinking ship saddled down with massive debt and obsolete factories.
VAG is the only company that has a fighting chance- and that's only because they've already suffered through the consequences of Dieselgate and understood the dire situation they were in. And even with their early pivot to EV, it may still not be enough.
Look at that list of market caps I posted earlier. Most of them will be merged or extinct within the next 20 years.
