People like you seem to believe that Tesla will simply freeze Model 3 development so, by the time BMW builds their first i-whatever car, it will be competing with the current version of the Model 3! Which, by the way, is an incredible car.
If someone has to watch out, I would say it is BMW...

You are clearly just talking about one market only. And that is the US. In no other country/continent is Tesla leading in electric mobility. The cars have bad interior quality, a screen which commands everything (that is not something I want to have in my car as thousands and thousands of other Europeans dont want either) AND most importantly, the European market is waiting and waiting on the Model 3 to finally get delivered (and are sick of it as a lot of customers decline their order). A lot of people are just waiting for some competitors to finally offer a vehicle in the size of a Model 3.
BTW: have you checked the energy balance of an all electric vehicle recently? It's worse than an actual car - and a lot of people around the globe start realizing this. Battery, and especially the Tesla technology is not the future.
