Cars can be ordered directly from the official website. Regarding pricing: Before placing an order, it's advisable to research the vehicle model online, including basic configuration differences and price discounts. After gaining a preliminary understanding of the model and discount range, you can then negotiate with sales consultants at 4S stores. It's recommended to compare options from multiple dealers. Order contract: Before signing the contract, ensure all pricing and complimentary items are agreed upon. Pay attention to the order type when drafting the contract. Vehicle information verification: Confirm the model, chassis number, engine number, and color of the purchased vehicle. Particularly, make sure both the vehicle code and identification number are clearly stated to avoid any issues during vehicle pickup.

Yeah, nowadays many car brand official websites support direct online ordering, and the process is super simple: For example, I helped a friend buy a Tesla—just clicked on the screen on the official website, selected the model, configuration, color, etc., paid a deposit to confirm, and received a text message notification for the delivery time. It saves the hassle of visiting dealerships and haggling over prices. However, not all brands offer this service. Luxury brands like Porsche might allow it, but traditional brands like Toyota’s website might just be a query tool, directing you to local dealers for transactions. My experience in first-tier cities has been great, but in smaller areas, you might still need to pick up the car, inspect it, and handle paperwork at a physical store, and arrange insurance yourself. The future trend is more brands adopting online direct sales, like new EV startups—transparent and efficient, definitely worth trying.

Absolutely, I’ve personally experienced ordering cars through official websites several times, especially for EV brands like NIO or XPeng. You can place an order with just a few clicks: enter your budget, select configurations, and pay the deposit—the whole process is quick, cost-effective, and free from salesperson interference. However, I recommend checking the brand’s official policies before ordering. Some require you to provide ID and residential address information in advance to avoid delays. Also, pay attention to payment security—use official channels for deposits to avoid scams. Additionally, after purchasing online, you’ll still need to visit a dealership for final delivery and test drives. This allows on-the-spot adjustments if any flaws are found, making it both convenient and practical.

Yes, ordering cars through official automotive websites is quite common, especially with the current trend of electric vehicles. The process generally involves: opening the official website menu, selecting a car, paying a deposit, and waiting for delivery notification—fully digital and straightforward. However, don't forget that not all brands support fully online transactions, so check the specific details to confirm.

Are Car Sunshades Useful?

Sunshades have both advantages and disadvantages, and can be chosen based on needs. Advantages of sunshades: Protect the dashboard from damage such as cracking and aging caused by direct sunlight exposure, while also reducing the interior temperature, indirectly improving the effectiveness of the car's air conditioning; during the day, they prevent reflection and reduce sunlight refraction on the windshield that can create glare, ensuring clear driving visibility; at night, they minimize light refraction, reducing blind spots caused by roadside lights reflecting off the dashboard onto the windshield. Disadvantages of sunshades: The dashboard is a high-temperature area that requires better heat dissipation. Using multiple covers in the summer when interior temperatures are already high can impede heat dissipation. When wind blows onto the dashboard, dust trapped in the sunshade can flow back with the wind directly into the faces of front-seat occupants. Precautions for using sunshades: Some dashboards are made of soft plastic, and using sunshades with poor-quality adhesive strips may cause corrosion. Always purchase genuine sunshades or opt for non-adhesive sunshades with good anti-slip effects; choose vehicle-specific sunshades and ensure they leave necessary gaps to avoid interfering with safety features like airbags; if a sunshade emits odors after prolonged sun exposure, it may be a substandard product and should be replaced immediately.

Is It Necessary to Install Sealing Strips on a New Car?

It is necessary to install sealing strips on a new car. The door sealing strip is a product that seals the door, making it harder to open, and serves functions such as shock absorption, waterproofing, sound insulation, heat insulation, dust prevention, and fixation. Functions of Door Sealing Strips: Door sealing strips (auto-door-rubber-seal-strip) are mainly used for fixing, dust prevention, and sealing of car doors. They feature good elasticity, resistance to compression deformation, aging, ozone, and chemical effects. Equipped with unique metal clamps and tongue-shaped buckles, they are sturdy, durable, and easy to install. Primarily applied on door panels, door frames, side windows, front and rear windshields, engine hoods, and trunk lids, they serve functions such as waterproofing, dust prevention, sound insulation, temperature insulation, shock absorption, and decoration. Fuel-Saving Tips During the New Car Break-In Period: Avoid driving with excessive load during the break-in period of a new car; the lighter the body, the better, as heavy loads can cause damage to the car. Do not let the engine rev too high; generally, keep the RPM below 3,000, or below 3,500 for automatic transmissions. Avoid maintaining a single gear for too long or driving at low speeds for extended periods; gradually increase the speed instead.

Which direction do the wheels turn when steering left?

When moving forward, turning the steering wheel left makes the vehicle turn left; turning it right makes the vehicle turn right. When reversing, turning the steering wheel left makes the rear of the vehicle move left; turning it right makes the rear move right. For a forward-moving vehicle, turning the steering wheel left causes the vehicle to turn left. When reversing, turning the steering wheel left makes the front wheels turn right while the rear wheels remain unchanged, causing the vehicle to move backward to the left. Below are detailed instructions on steering: Requirements for steering: Beginner drivers should first sit upright and steady, adjust the seat properly, and grip the steering wheel firmly with both hands. Hold the steering wheel at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions, or slightly higher depending on personal preference. Steering techniques: When turning during driving, if turning left, the left hand should exert force while the right hand assists. When straightening, the right hand exerts force while the left hand assists. If turning right, the right hand exerts force while the left hand assists, and when straightening, the left hand exerts force while the right hand assists. When making a U-turn, always cross your hands while steering—avoid turning the wheel bit by bit (commonly known as "feeding the wheel"), as this can lead to confusion and loss of control in emergencies. Avoid turning the wheel while stationary or turning it to the full lock, as this can cause tire wear and increase stress on the vehicle's steering system.

What does the 'W' on the license plate represent?

License plates starting with the letter 'W' indicate that they are Armed Police license plates, where 'W' is the first letter and the second letter is 'J'. Below is some extended information about license plates: 1. A license plate is a plate hung on the front and rear of a vehicle, typically made of aluminum, iron, plastic, or paper, engraved with the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information. 2. The vehicle license plate serves as the 'ID card' of the vehicle, an important piece of information that distinguishes it from other motor vehicles. With the rapid increase in the number of vehicles, license plates have undergone significant changes, and the advancement of high-tech has led to increasingly higher demands for intelligent vehicle license plates. License plates are used to number and register information for various vehicles, with their primary function being to identify the region to which a vehicle belongs and to access the vehicle's registration details based on the license plate. 3. The first character of a license plate is a Chinese character representing the provincial-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered; the second character is an English letter representing the prefecture-level administrative region, usually the city where the vehicle is registered. The ranking of letters is generally determined by the provincial vehicle management office based on the status of each prefecture-level administrative region, with the letter 'A' assigned to the provincial capital, and the subsequent letters ranked without any particular order.

What are the performance characteristics of brake fluid?

The performance of brake fluid lies in its ability to ensure vehicle braking safety and provide excellent corrosion resistance. Introduction to brake fluid: Brake fluid is a high-concentration liquid with strong water absorption capacity. After being used for a period of time, its water content gradually increases. Brake fluid should be replaced every 2 years or every 40,000 kilometers driven. Alternatively, professional instruments can be used to measure the water content of the brake fluid. If it exceeds 5%, it should be replaced as soon as possible, otherwise it may affect driving safety. Precautions for brake fluid replacement: During the brake fluid replacement process, if air enters the oil pipe, the brakes may feel softer after replacement, potentially causing delayed braking or even brake failure. The complete drainage method can be used to replace brake fluid: open the bleeder valve of the brake caliper, start the engine, and repeatedly press the brake pedal until no oil comes out of the bleeder valve, then tighten it. Add new fluid to the reservoir, repeatedly press the brake pedal until firmness is felt, then loosen the caliper bleeder valve to drain fluid. When the pedal lowers, quickly tighten the valve. Repeat this process twice until no air bubbles emerge from the discharged fluid. Always check the fluid level in the reservoir to ensure it doesn't drop below the minimum mark.
