Jonas laid out a set of predictions in the note, answering some of the most glaring questions about the Semi ahead of its unveiling.。
He believes the truck will be an all-purpose Class 8 semi-truck, rather than a limited application vehicle. That means it'll weigh more than 33,000 pounds, with the ability to take on all types of freight.。

Jonas has a potential answer there, too: he thinks the news could come in conjunction with the North American Commercial Vehicle Show on Sept. 25.
