Tesla could relatively rapidly release a comparable competitor if it becomes obvious they are losing a large market share for certain segment.

I don’t see evidence for that. Tesla has yet to ship a vehicle that didn’t run into production delays.

Likewise Tesla is shipping vehicles from their China factory and Berlin factory construction is beginning.

Model Y is basically a clone of the Model 3 and it's still not out.

You simply can't rapidly make a new car. Years at minimum.
