The point is, when is that going to happen? It’s not going to be in 2 years.

I agree that if you want an electric car that can almost replace an ICE car Tesla is still the only game in town until there is a comparable alternative fast charging network.
But the best use case for an EV is still a predictable commute each day while charging at home each night. For that, the newcomers will represent a viable alternative to tesla - especially in the S and X price range where buyers likely have multiple cars (including ICE ones) and don’t need to use their EV for road trips.
If you only have 1 car and it’s an EV, you probably want it to be a Tesla. I personally think that the amount of bs you have to put up with re Tesla and it’s products outweighs the advantages of EV driving.
