Indeed. The article ignores the history of success in the face of comments just like this one.
Example: Many, many naysayers said the idea that Tesla could begin shipping the Model S to customers in 2012 was absurd, that they were naive and didn't understand the complexities of building a vehicle like Detroit does, etc. Well, they just did it.
Before that, everyone said nobody would buy electric vehicles because (a) you can't get them over 100 miles in range, so nobody will want them, and (b) because there is no charging infrastructure. So Tesla just built bigger/better batteries and built a charging infrastructure.
The problem with articles like this is they are just some random guy saying stuff and it doesn't matter to him ultimately if what he is saying is correct.
