Tesla is best known for its sporty all-electric sedans, but this month, we're slated to get our first look at something much bigger from the automaker: its first electric semi-truck.。

.。Jonas thinks Telsa's entry into the industry could be “the biggest catalyst in trucking in decades,” leading to a separation between companies ready to embrace next-generation technology and those that will wind up stuck in the past. 。Mashable Light SpeedWant more out-of-this world tech, space and science stories?

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 projects the Tesla semi will also go on sale in 2020 at a cost of around $100,000, if trucking operators lease out the batteries separately. It'll also have a range between 200 to 300 miles per charge to support regional trucking routes, and perhaps most importantly, the autonomous-electric setup could be up to 70 percent less expensive to operate than a typical semi.。
These are just one analyst's predictions about the Semi, but they're not hard to imagine. The top-level Model S P100D configuration offers an estimated 337 miles per charge. If the automaker can bring the same type of efficiency to a bigger battery, the 200 to 300 mile range could be within reach. 。

Now that September has started, the biggest question about the semi is when Tesla will actually roll it out. 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. Keep an eye on Elon Musk's Twitter feed — hopefully, we'll have real answers to all of these questions soon. 。
