There are pros and cons to each. I've got a couple of BMWs, but when buying an EV, going Tesla was a no-brainer. The other mfgrs just felt like a slap-dash job of bolting an electric motor to a traditional car, whereas Tesla was a slap-dash way of rethinking the entire car! :)

Seriously, I was years into Tesla ownership when I saw BMW ads showing people dancing around, taking their phones out of their pocket, and holding it to the door handle to unlock the car, like this was some high tech innovation. [1] Are you joking?

There are MANY things established automakers do, but innovation is not typically one of those things.
