Oh this old bad argument warmed up again.
Remember when 5 years ago people claimed that as soon car companies make electric cars they would outsell Tesla?
Well the fact is that Tesla sells more EV by far then even VW by a large amount.
Scaling BEV production is hard, and just because for produces lots of ICE cars does not mean they can magically produce lots of EVs.
Do yourself a favor and actually learn about BEV production and supply chain issues.

Remember 5 years ago when Telsa fans claimed BEV range and acceleration wasn't possible for legacy automakers? Ford sell more F series vehicles per year than all tesla models combined - why are you assuming they need to pivot asap to EV only?
- nickik 5y ago> Remember 5 years ago when Telsa fans claimed BEV range and acceleration wasn't possible for legacy automakers? No, I don't. Its the opposite, most people were saying that legacy makers could do it eventually but they need to make massive investments in EV production, and guess what, they did. Tesla fan were actually right, it took way longer then people said for real mass market EV to come out. But of course Tesla got the lead and they are not just outselling everybody else and are still among the leaders in performance and efficiency. > Ford sell more F series vehicles per year than all tesla models combined - why are you assuming they need to pivot asap to EV only? They don't but in a few years EV version will outperform the alternative ICE version along pretty much every dimension and there will be huge demand for EV trucks. The question is if you at that point have the capacity to produce them in accordance with demand.
