Well so far the sales numbers don't follow your generous assessment...

The sales numbers exactly follow my generous assessment. Most of the BEV market worldwide is not Tesla and Tesla's market share is falling. In the last year it has gone from 28% to 23%.
This isn't surprising. It's a direct consequence of other automakers ramping up BEV production and selling more BEVs.
Price, practicality, exterior styling, interior styling. All the usual reasons.

As a driver you should be demanding an open charging standard so all cars can charge at all chargers. Why meekly settle for less?
Here are three EVs charging faster than a Tesla Model 3:

Amusingly, Teslas charge faster on CCS chargers than on Tesla's proprietary chargers:

But the good news is Tesla will supposedly open their chargers to all EVs soon, mostly to get the benefit of government subsidies. Governments aren't going to fund chargers that only charge one brand:

They'll probably start in Europe first because Teslas already use the CCS Type 2 Combo inlet in Europe.
