Civil servants cannot purchase Tesla vehicles due to potential security risks associated with Tesla's data collection. Introduction to Tesla Brand: Tesla is an American electric vehicle and clean energy company that manufactures and sells electric cars, solar panels, and energy storage systems. Headquartered in Palo Alto, it was founded on July 1, 2003, by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. The founders named the company Tesla Motors in honor of physicist Nikola Tesla. Tesla's Product Launch Timeline: Tesla's first vehicle product, the Roadster, was introduced in 2008 as a two-door sports car. In 2012, Tesla released its second vehicle, the Model S, a four-door all-electric luxury sedan. The third vehicle product was the Model X, a luxury all-electric SUV, with deliveries starting in September 2015.

As someone frequently handling public affairs, I believe civil servants purchasing Teslas should consider institutional regulations. There's no nationwide ban, but Tesla's data collection systems, like cameras recording location data, may involve privacy concerns in sensitive areas. Some institutions have internal policies restricting imported or internet-connected vehicles to prevent data leakage risks. I recommend civil servants consult administrative departments for detailed rules before purchasing. Tesla offers strong range and acceleration as an eco-friendly EV with fuel savings, and is permissible if compliant. However, given potential risks, prioritizing domestic NEVs might be more prudent.

I have a friend who is a civil servant, and he actually bought a Tesla Model 3. When he drove it to work, his colleagues were a bit surprised, but his workplace didn’t explicitly prohibit it. The car is fuel-efficient, cost-saving, accelerates quickly, and has ample space. The issue arose when the cameras kept working while parked, and his workplace required him to disable the data upload function. He installed a shielding device to resolve this. Overall, the experience has been good, but it’s advisable to check with your department head in advance to confirm there are no restrictions. Tesla has high safety ratings, but there are privacy concerns—just make sure it doesn’t affect your work.

What Causes the Steering Wheel to Become Heavier When the Air Conditioner is On?

The reasons for the steering wheel becoming heavier are as follows: 1. For hydraulic power steering, the common cause is dirty power steering fluid. This situation is similar to how dirty engine oil affects engine power and performance. Dirty power steering fluid can lead to the steering wheel feeling increasingly heavy, and insufficient power steering fluid can also cause the steering wheel to feel heavier. If the issue is with the power steering fluid, it should be promptly topped up or replaced. 2. For electric power steering, check if any fuses are blown or if there are any open or short circuits in the wiring. 3. For electric power steering, repeatedly turning the steering wheel while stationary or at low speeds places a significant load on the power steering system, which can cause the steering gear to overheat and enter a protective mode, resulting in heavier steering. This will return to normal after cooling down, which is a normal phenomenon. 4. Insufficient tire pressure can also make the driver feel that the steering wheel is noticeably heavier. Simply refilling the tires to the standard pressure will restore normal operation.

What is the meaning of DRL in cars?

The meaning of DRL in cars is Daytime Running Lights. Specific details are as follows: The function of Daytime Running Lights: To provide vehicle visibility, falling under the category of signal lights. When the car engine starts, the Daytime Running Lights automatically turn on and gradually increase in brightness to attract the attention of other motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles, and pedestrians on the road; when night falls and the driver manually turns on the low beam headlights, the Daytime Running Lights automatically turn off. Performance requirements for Daytime Running Lights: In terms of specific technical parameters, the luminous intensity on the reference axis should not be less than 400cd, and the luminous intensity in other directions should not be less than 400cd. The luminous intensity of the light in any direction should not exceed 800cd, meaning that driving during the day should not affect others' driving.

What Causes the Engine to Stall at Idle When the AC is On?

When the AC is turned on, the engine control unit (ECU) first increases the engine speed before engaging the compressor clutch. This ensures sufficient power output to the compressor and prevents stalling. If the car tends to stall when idling with the AC on, you can check the following two aspects: 1. Excessive internal pressure in the AC system, which causes the engine load to suddenly increase abnormally when the compressor engages. The ECU may not respond quickly enough, leading to stalling. In this case, measuring the AC pressure will clearly reveal the issue. 2. Unstable engine operation itself, such as when the spark plugs are in poor condition or there is excessive carbon buildup in components like the throttle body, idle air control valve, or fuel injectors. In such cases, the engine may already be struggling to maintain normal idle operation.

Should You Drive Fast or Slow When Encountering Water on the Road?

When driving through water, it's advisable to proceed at a low speed. However, this doesn't mean crawling at a snail's pace; maintaining sufficient power to move slowly is essential to prevent water from entering the exhaust pipe. When facing waterlogged sections, it's important to adapt flexibly based on the depth of the water rather than rigidly adhering to theoretical rules. The hazards of driving too fast through water are as follows: 1. Safety risks: After entering a waterlogged area, the car will stir up water and mud, creating wave-like movements. Driving too fast can easily splash water onto pedestrians or vehicles in adjacent lanes, and in severe cases, it can impair visibility, compromising driving safety. 2. Engine stalling: If the water is too deep, splashed water may enter the engine's air intake, causing the car to stall.

Does Using Air Conditioning Consume More Fuel or Rolling Down the Windows?

At low speeds, using air conditioning consumes more fuel, while at high speeds, rolling down the windows consumes more fuel. When a car is driving on the highway, the faster the speed, the greater the wind resistance, and the car's fuel consumption is mainly used to overcome this wind resistance. Only when all the car windows are closed is the car's drag coefficient at its lowest. During aerodynamic design, cars undergo wind tunnel testing with all windows closed. Opening the windows disrupts the car's aerodynamic integrity, increasing the drag coefficient and reducing fuel efficiency. Tips for fuel-efficient driving: Maintain good driving habits. When accelerating, the engine must increase power output, and every time you brake, the energy generated by this power is lost as heat. Therefore, it's important to anticipate traffic conditions in advance, avoid congested routes whenever possible, and minimize stop-and-go situations. Reduce unnecessary weight on the car. The heavier the vehicle, the more fuel it consumes. Thus, unnecessary items such as roof boxes, roof rails, and bike racks should be removed when not in use. These not only add weight but also alter the airflow around the car, increasing air resistance.

Does a car that has been driven for three years need waxing?

Waxing is necessary. Relevant information about waxing is as follows: 1. Beautification: It can give the car a more attractive shine and draw more attention. 2. Waterproofing: Don't think that the benefits of car waxing are just about beautification—it also helps with waterproofing. Car wax can reduce the adhesion rate of water droplets on the body paint by 60% to 90%, minimizing the risk of paint burns caused by the focusing effect of intense sunlight on water droplets, and effectively preventing the formation of water marks. 3. Heat resistance: In the scorching summer, it can reflect incoming light to some extent and provides an additional layer of protection for the car body, preventing direct exposure to the paint and thus avoiding fading and wear.
