Its been said elsewhere, but making cars is hard. Large multinational companies with decades of relevant expertise struggle to make cars. Not just with the technical issues, but with regulatory issues as well, which for many engineering-driven companies end up being almost as significant obstacles as the tech itself. Tesla is doing very well, but is still facing hurdles, and tough competition. And Tesla is dedicated 100% to making cars, with a founder who was willing to bet (and potentially lose) everything on his push for electric cars. I'm just not convinced that a $500 billion, 100,000-person company can pivot into being a car company, nor am I convinced that a company whose specialty is the development of phones, computers, and software can open up a car arm and successfully go toe-to-toe against Mercedes, BWM, and (to a lesser extent) Tesla.
