Several of those manufactures that you listed are on the verge of bankruptcy (Ford, Nissan, FCA). Auto manufacturing is capital-intensive and extremely high risk and a few bad quarters is all it takes to completely wipe out shareholders. You may not realize this, but GM actually went bankrupt in 09 and shareholders lots everything.

Telsa is not going to go bankrupt in the near- or medium-term. There's just too damn much money backing them.

Tesla is also able to have almost positive cash flow on high margin high demand cars in the middle of a pandemic. The other automakers are leaking money like there is no tomorrow.

Ford, GM, FCA have a thin wedge of the market that is still profitable for them and that market is under attack, with little indication of them being able to make a huge splash in another market. Not to mention a broader shift in car market and transportation that requires massive investment.

If you don't grow, don't make much profit and are risky, meaning a couple of bad quarters almost kill you your stock is not gone be worth much.
