Only their batteries and EV tech are best in class, their cars are actually quite badly made and plasticy compared to most luxury cars in the same price range as the Model S.

If everyone starts to go full electric I think Tesla will become "just another car brand that was once first at something" similar to how Audi was champion of four-wheel drive at some point. I guess at that point they'll change their policies to better fit with the general public buying cars and used cars. Or the others will see an opportunity and go the Tesla-route and we as consumers end up worse off than before.

Agreed, fit and finish in the Tesla models is terribly low end. More like a 90's Ford Taurus than any other upmarket brand.
we'll soon find out in next 5 years, as the big car brands launch their new ev line-up.
