None of those are competitive with Teslas.
Range, performance, comfort, features are all miles ahead in the Tesla. Price may be the only factor they're competitive, but the sales numbers don't lie. Nissan has sold 500k Leafs in the last 10 years. Tesla sold 440k Model 3s in 2020 alone.
Also, the EV aspect of Teslas is not the only thing that attracts buyers. I know many here on HN don't realize this, but people love the OTA updates that make your car better over time. Tesla takes a software company approach to cars. I don't have faith in any of the existing manufacturers pulling that off. It's a completely different business model that none of incumbents show any proficiency in.
