Let see what Tern will announce next week.

But its clear that the folding bike market didn't grow like other bike market segments, the folding bike growth that several companies were expecting in 2015 didn't happened, the segment that had a huge growth was the ebike market, not folding bikes market.

So I don't expect that the big announcement will be any folding bike but an ebike, most probably the next GSD cargo ebike and maybe a folding ebike (an upgraded Vektron or successor of the Vektron which is actually a small folding cargo bike, Tern is working with Bosch and had several folding ebikes with Bosch mid drive motor and Bosch has now a new lightweight mid drive engine, the Performance SX that would be ideal for a folding ebike, combined with the 400Wh new battery, the total weight of the eassist is about 4kg, same as the eassist of the Brompton Electric with more eassist power and much more battery capacity).
