The author arrived at this conclusion "CEO Elon Musk essentially admitted the project had been put on hold." From this quote from Musk "I actually don't know how many reservations we have for the Semi. About 2,000? Okay. I mean, we haven't really tried to sell the Semi. It's not like there's like an ongoing sales effort, so sales – orders for Semi are like opportunistic, really companies approaching us. Yeah, it's not something we really think about much."
Unless I'm missing something, that's a huge stretch.
Further, the author seems to totally misinterpret the dialogue at that point. "Yet, for some reason, the Semi is “not something we really think about much.”" I think it was clear that Musk was referring to pre-orders, not the entire project.
