I still don't get where BMW is late to the party is coming from. How are they any worse than what Audi or Mercedes have done and put out up to today?

The GLC 350e is the only EV/hybrid Mercedes in Canada and that's just now being sold in 2020. The Audi e-tron has only been available since 2018 and reviews have been nothing but average to disappointing. BMW has had the i3 and i8 since 2013/2014. So how is BMW so late to the party when they have had consumer electric/hybrid products on the road longer than both Audi and Mercedes?

Just based on real-world data and consumer application, BMW a has a minimum of 3-4 years on Audi and Mercedes. If I'm wrong, someone please tell me because I can't understand how BMW gets slammed for being "slow" when Audi and Mercedes have not much to show for either.
