i am willing to bet Nissan hits more than 50,000 next year and it will continue to escalate from there

Nissan will be closer to that 200k limit in 3-4 years, but by no means will they be close.
Nissan has only sold a bit over 27k Leafs TOTAL in the US in the first 2-1/2 years of sales here, so for Nissan to reach that limit in the next 3-4 years would mean sales would have to rise to the level of 50k a year, and I don't see that happening unless the price of fuel skyrockets to above, say $7/gallon.
Infiniti has already posponed (if not totally cancelled) their LE, so it will be a while before we see an Infiniti-branded BEV, if ever.
What happens when Nissan does reach that 200k mark will all depend on who's in control of Congress and who's occupying the White House.
