Nokia wasn't sitting still either, they just refused to be yet another brand repackaging a third party OS. In that sense, there is actually quite a lot of similarity: where Nokia was reluctant to repackage Android, car manufacturers are reluctant to give up their engines as the central value-adding component. An EV drivetrain is trivial except for the battery and the charging infrastructure, access to which is implicitly sold with each Tesla. Both of them are about as alien to a company that is good at making engines as becoming a Google, Amazon or Facebook would be.
