TL;DR
- Chinese company Dreame claims its new electric vehicle, the Nebula NEXT 01 Jet Edition, can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 0.9 seconds.
- The claimed acceleration is achieved using "custom-built dual solid rocket boosters" providing 100 kilo-Newtons of force.
- Experts state that achieving sub-1-second 0-60 times is physically impossible for a street car due to limitations in tire traction.
- An engineer who inspected the vehicle at Dreame's expo in San Francisco described the rocket boosters as appearing fabricated and noted the absence of air inlets or outlets.
- The article also references the next-generation Tesla Roadster's potential "SpaceX package" with rocket thrusters for similar acceleration claims.
- Dreame faces an uphill battle in the contracting Chinese EV market, further complicated by its questionable product announcements.
