The Model 3 outsold all of those by huge margins, and startups in China are not going to sell cars in the US — or any large market outside of China — any time soon due to safety standards.
IMO the biggest dealbreaker for non-Tesla EVs is the extremely anemic state of affairs for non-Supercharger charging stations: there are barely any of them, many are poorly maintained or broken (or reserved for customers/employees/building residents), and dear God they're slow. As a Tesla owner, I can't imagine having to depend on them... Half the time I come across one, which is rare enough as it is, whatever I find is literally unusable, and the rest of the time getting a decent charge takes hours. With a Supercharger I can reliably get 100+ miles in about 15 minutes, which is plenty for almost anything, and there's many, many more charging stations.
