It should be that Audi and Jaguar can make a nicer interior. But their dealers hate electric cars, because there's no maintenance. Tesla's biggest advantage is their worldwide network of charging stations that is available to everyone. They also have billions of miles of ev driving experience, input into the autopilot program.
The real engineering advantage tesla has is their proven battery heating and cooling technology - none of the other companies have that, and the recent cars have adopted some of tesla's ideas about heating and cooling but they don't have experience.
Finally, don't forget that there's a world wide shortage of electric car batteries. that's why tesla had to build the irritatingly named giga factory, because without it they couldn't build a lot of evs. and other companies can't either, without new battery production coming online.
Audi announced they wouldn't keep the audi ev at dealers, it's special order. I don't know if this is because dealers didn't want it or they didn't want to train them or what. gm dealers are said to not be enthusiastic about the bolt.
