I don't visit that site, so you'll need to include the relevant points if I'm to discuss them.
That said, I don't believe anything any manufacturer says... I only believe what I see sitting on their dealership lots.
EVs aren't profitable at the moment. My guess is that statements about future EV sales are based on certain optimistic assumptions such as battery prices falling at some rate, or increasing in energy density (2 sides of the same coin). The only achilles heel for EVs is how bad the battery sucks compared to a petrol tank. It's worse in every measurable way except perhaps that electricity costs a little less per mile than gasoline.
The future of EVs is almost entirely reliant on batteries getting "better". The only other factor would be gasoline getting comparatively expensive or being banned outright.
