Dreame abandons its rocket-boosted electric supercar
Dreame’s electric supercar venture has been abandoned, according to CNA and Reuters. Its extraordinary performance claims were never independently measured, while reporting says the show cars lacked working drivetrains and functional chassis.
The promise, then the hard stop
Dreame is best known for domestic appliances. Its proposed Nebula NEXT 01 JET Edition spoke in the language of a record car: enormous power, a solid-state battery and even a solid-fuel rocket booster. What follows separates the company’s own claims from what reporters say was actually built.

What reporting supports
According to CarNewsChina, the display prototypes had neither operational drivetrains nor functional chassis. Newmobility.news reports that Dreame commissioned non-functional display shells from a Shanghai model builder for approximately 3 million yuan each. There is no independent instrumented test in the supplied evidence for the acceleration, power, battery-density or rocket-booster figures.
