Overview
- Dreame, best known for home vacuums, showed the Nebula NEXT 01 JET Edition concept at a San Francisco launch event with claims of dual solid‑fuel boosters that deliver 0–60 mph in about 0.9 seconds, 100 kN of thrust, and a 150 ms response.
- Dreame described the JET Edition as an experimental showcase rather than a product for sale, while targeting a controlled prototype in June 2027 and a non‑jet Next 01 hyper‑sedan in the second half of 2027.
- The company says the platform will use an all‑solid‑state battery with up to about 550 km of range, plus long‑range LiDAR and L3+ self‑driving ambitions, though none of these claims have independent validation.
- Coverage from outlets such as New Atlas questioned whether a rocket‑equipped road car will reach production, and Robb Report noted the concept remains theoretical with no price or build date.
- Context for the pivot includes Dreame’s first auto foray announced in August 2025, a 1,900‑hp non‑jet Next 01 shown at CES 2026, and the San Francisco launch opened by autonomy pioneer Sebastian Thrun.
