Other automakers _are_ putting out EVs. Right this minute. I have a choice of several nice EVs here in Europe and Tesla is not at the top of my list if I were in the market. So far you are making a lot of unfounded claims and assumptions regarding the struggles of other automakers, but what I can see is that those automakers are just starting to ramp up production and while they 'struggle' they are collectively selling more EVs than Tesla. The VW group alone appears to have sold as many EVs last year as Tesla. The model 3 may be the best selling model of EV, but others are closing the gap and as purchasers start to value novelty less and features and build quality more the Tesla offerings are going to seem less impressive.
