This was always going to happen. Tesla got first mover advantage but realistically, they never really had a tech advantage. It's easier for existing car companies to electrify than to create a new car company.
Volkswagen group EVs are pretty good, Volvo/Polestar EVs look really good, BYD is like Tesla but with Chinese backing and seem to be pulling ahead in battery tech, Hyundai/Kia produce batteries and control a ton of their supply chain being a conglomerate, etc... Tesla's battery tech is stale, their designs are stale (except the Cybertruck which is hideous), and all this is before considering the US/Elon Musk craziness...
Edit - should add, outside all the more innovative brands, every legacy brand has an EV as well.
