There is NO product on the market close to being able to offer what they can.
Unless you think the EV market won't continue to grow, thinking that they won't completely continue dominating the market is pretty short-sighted.
The only argument I understand is the one where EV sales die off. And that doesn't seem to be happening.

Again I will state that it's a long game here and leave it at that. We are talking about a sales segment that makes up less than 5% of all automobile sales. There's no need for other automakers to catch up for a segment that's this small at the present time and won't become significant for another decade. Things are happening behind the scenes with all automakers as they haven't lasted half centuries just to fold their tents to an upstart manufacturer. Just because they aren't producing them today it doesn't mean they won't be coming. The reality is that even early attempts like the Ford Mach-E will start diluting Tesla's EV market share and as more and more other options turn up it's going to shrink more and more.
