I find especially US folks (sorry) very un-informed about non-US car companies regarding EV technology.
Also, Mercedes sold ~250k EVs last year and BMW sold about ~380k. Yes, Tesla sold 1.8 million or something, but you're acting like Tesla is some hyperscaler. And this is in a context where both BMW and Mercedes sell more cars overall, than Tesla, so they have to take care of the going concern, too.
A lot of wishful thinking in that comment.
