It's possible Tesla got close to 2k orders [1], but that doesn't really mean much if they don't have anywhere near the capacity to produce them. They are struggling to produce a small sedan in the Model 3, so a semi is pretty much out of the question right now. With that in mind, I don't think it's dead, but it's probably years away still. That's more likely the reason behind Elon's statements than just "project over".
