I don't know where your figures come from. I've seen Tesla's 2020 FY R&D expense was $1.5Bn, but that is dwarfed by the other players if the linked data is correct[1]. So apart from paying a massive premium, dollar for investment dollar you'd get much more R&D for your money buying a basket of non-Tesla automakers than tesla.

We will see if they sustain that, but it looks like that is their plan.
