Overview

• Chinese reports on Weixin, relayed by Carscoops, claim Dreame plans a new auto plant near Tesla’s Berlin-area factory.
• The unverified accounts say the site would be roughly 1.2 times the size of Tesla’s facility with completion targeted for 2027.
• Weixin also cites a purported partnership with BNP Paribas to support a German factory project.
• Brandenburg’s economics ministry declined to comment on possible settlement procedures, and district chief Frank Steffen said he is unaware of Dreame plans while confirming the 430-hectare industrial reserve by the A12.
• Local activists criticized the reported project over transparency and potential strains on water, energy, and labor, as Dreame’s CEO Yu Hao recently showed the firm’s first EV design from a company best known for robot vacuums.
