Battery costs don't come down by themselves as with anything else it takes several or even many generations of product. Your argument is basically, sure Tesla is way ahead but the other automakers will surpass them when they feel like it. All the while completely ignoring the investment it takes in people, tech, factories, experience gained and so many other things.
Also the lead engineer at Tesla is Elon Musk I can't think of another auto maker like that. Another company doing very well recently is AMD, their CEO Lisa Su has a doctorate in electrical engineering. Contrast that with the no nothing come and go CEOs of most companies.
