>Is Tesla not far ahead of the competitors?

Depends on region. "Renault's Zoe was the best-selling electric car in Europe in 2020, beating the Tesla Model 3 to second place." [1]

Also depends on how/what you are measuring. The Zoe is almost $25k cheaper than the base model standard range Model 3 (at least here in Sweden), which explains why it sells so well. I don't think anyone would claim it is a better car than the Tesla, or ahead technically in any way, and you could argue that they aren't in really competing since one is so much smaller and cheaper than the other.

But yea, in Europe a lot of manufacturers sells decent fully electric cars.
