but there are a few who are upping their game very quickly, like Tesla
Tesla is a perfect example of a first mover advantage, driven by a charismatic leader, who was not the founder, finding itself with a business model that fails in the marketplace.
Tesla has relatively poor quality control, abysmal service, is not a leader in autonomous driving despite the marketing, has relied on billions in government incentives to survive, has routinely ignored the industry's manufacturing prowess, and is now facing an extinction event as the major automakers release a plethora of competitors.
But investors low him, hence the valuation.
As for Christensen, you might follow Horace Dediu at Asymco.com, reading some of his past posts on Apple, as he actually studied under Christensen. Horace is now mostly involved in micromobility.
Your knowledge of Tesla is abysmal.
For what it’s worth, I own neither the stock nor the car (but I am in line for the Cybertruck, with the option to wait until Dec 2021 to decide).
If you get a Cybertruck, I want a full review.
If they update the interior of the Model S before then and it has a stated range of 500 miles that CT promises (I'll even settle for 450), I'll be getting that instead, as my next vehicle.
I follow Tesla even though I don’t own one (yet) and I’m looking forward to what they call “Battery Day”, which is what they've named their media and investor presentation discussing improvements to their tech.
Say what you will about Musk or Tesla and their issues, but you can’t help but root for them to succeed at something that has historically been littered with failures.

I think Battery Day is going to be huge. Could be the equivalent of January 9, 2007 all over again for another entrenched, fat/dumb/happy industry.

Tesla is partnering with CATL, most likely, same as many EU auto builders, Tesla China will eventually just fall under state control,

If you're considering the Model S, you should also consider Lucid Motors. They are a quiet company (compared to Musk or Nikola or other EV companies), and they have been supplying battery packs for Formula E (electric racing series) for a few seasons now. That implies a well-engineered battery pack, the single most important part of an EV. Lucid will reveal their first car next month (with 500+ mile range!) with deliveries in 2021.
