... but they need ages to get anything done. It's the curse of large organizations   

Not disagreeing but that is what happens as enterprises grow and become bureaucracies.  Most publicly-traded companies are risk adverse,  which sometimes, ironically, causes the organization to increase its risk profiles.  However, that level of conservatism tends to mirror that of its customer base.  

As previously written, Volkswagen Group and the other major automakers in the EU are not moving to EVs to compete against Tesla, but moving because of regulatory standards.  Tesla had a much brighter future without the impetuous man-child that controls the company.  Perhaps later today, the company will finally get the badly needed leadership it deserves.  However many structural issues will remain in place for years as the overall product strategy is faulty and it is hampered by a constrained capital structure.
