Tesla cannot use blue license plates now, although it was possible earlier. Teslas purchased before 2016 used blue license plates. However, now Tesla has been classified as a new energy vehicle model, so it can only use new energy vehicle license plates. Additional information: 1. The Ministry of Public Security first piloted the use of new energy vehicle license plates in five cities: Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuxi, Jinan, and Shenzhen. Since Tesla was registered earlier and not in the first batch of pilot cities for new energy vehicle license plates, blue license plates were used. Later, green license plates became the mainstream for Tesla vehicles. Currently, in cities such as Shanghai, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Tianjin, Tesla offers preferential policies for new energy vehicle license plates. 2. For new energy vehicles that already have small car license plates, they can continue to use the small car license plates or choose to apply for a new energy vehicle license plate. Currently, new energy vehicle license plates are mainly green in color. Among them, small new energy vehicle license plates use gradient green as the base color, while large new energy vehicle license plates use a combination of yellow and green as the base color.

What are the differences between Toyota's third-generation and fourth-generation hybrid systems?

Higher thermal efficiency, transmission system, suspension, etc. Here are the specific details: 1. Thermal efficiency: The third generation has a compression ratio of 12.5, while the fourth generation has 14, making it more fuel-efficient and more powerful. 2. Transmission system: The fourth generation adds gears at low speeds, providing more direct transmission and a quicker start feel. 3. Suspension: The current model uses the old RAV4 chassis, while the next generation is expected to use TNGA. You can test drive the UX; its chassis performance and noise control are significantly better than the current NX. 4. Four-axis structure: Consists of a torque limiter, one-way clutch, input shaft, planetary gear mechanism, motor, reduction device, and differential device. Among these, the planetary gear mechanism acts as a power split device, determining whether the engine power is supplied to motor MG1 or used as vehicle driving force. Motor MG2 and its reduction device adopt a parallel-axis layout.

Can I Change the Car Air Filter Myself?

Car air filters can be replaced by yourself. The main components of an air filter are the filter element and the housing, where the filter element is the primary filtering part responsible for gas filtration, while the housing provides the necessary external protection for the filter element. Below are the steps to replace the air filter: 1. First, open the glove box cover. Locate the fixing buckle on the right side of the glove box and pull it outward firmly. 2. Remove the fixing buckle of the glove box cover to detach it. 3. Squeeze both sides of the glove box towards the middle with both hands, and the glove box can then be taken off. 4. After removing the glove box, you will see the air filter cover. Press firmly on the fixing buckles on both sides of the cover, and the cover can then be removed.

How long can a car key still be used after the battery replacement reminder?

Car key batteries typically last for three years after replacement. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Introduction: The lifespan of a car key battery is generally 2-3 years. However, due to differences in usage habits, some drivers' car keys may run out of power in just one year, while others can last for 5 or even 10 years. This is largely related to our usage habits. On average, the lifespan is slightly over 2 years. With poor usage habits, the battery may die within a year. 2. Function: When the car key battery needs replacement, there's no need to visit the 4S store. In fact, the function settings and execution of the car key are determined by the motherboard inside the key, while the battery provides the power needed for these functions to operate.

Are Engine Oil and Transmission Fluid the Same?

Engine oil and transmission fluid are not the same. Engine oil is the lubricant for the engine system, possessing properties such as oxidation resistance, anti-wear, and anti-corrosion. Transmission fluid, on the other hand, is primarily used to keep the gear system clean, ensuring the transmission operates properly and extending the lifespan of the transmission components. Below is a detailed explanation of their respective functions: 1. The main function of transmission fluid is to keep the vehicle's gear system clean. It lubricates and cools the gear system. During driving, the gears operate at high speeds, generating heat through friction. Transmission fluid is then needed to lubricate and reduce temperature, ensuring the vehicle operates normally. 2. The main function of engine oil is to lubricate the engine system, providing lubrication, cooling, sealing to prevent leaks, rust and corrosion prevention, as well as shock absorption. It can be said that the condition of the engine oil directly affects the performance and lifespan of the engine.

What does range-extended electric vehicle mean?

Range-extended electric vehicle, as the name suggests, is an electric vehicle with extended mileage. Essentially, it is an electric vehicle model equipped with an additional generator to provide longer range and more convenient energy replenishment. Compared to the current pure electric vehicles with a range of around 300-400 km, range-extended electric vehicles not only offer a driving experience similar to that of pure electric vehicles but also achieve superior range performance. The following are some key points about range-extended electric vehicles: 1. The operation control strategy of a range-extended electric vehicle is managed by the vehicle controller. 2. The battery pack can be charged via ground charging stations or onboard chargers, and the engine can be either fuel-powered or gas-powered. 3. The vehicle can operate in pure electric mode, range-extended mode, or hybrid mode as needed. When operating in range-extended mode, the fuel-saving rate approaches that of pure electric vehicles as the battery capacity increases, making it a smooth transitional model towards pure electric vehicles.

Can someone else handle the new car license plate registration for me?

New car license plate registration can be handled by an agent. The agent needs to bring the vehicle certificate, purchase invoice, insurance policy, vehicle purchase tax certificate (original and duplicate), the agent's ID card, and the car owner's ID card to the DMV for registration. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Buying a car at a 4S shop: After purchasing a car at a 4S shop, the 4S shop will provide the vehicle certificate to the owner and issue a triplicate purchase invoice. Then, you need to go to the DMV to pay the vehicle purchase tax and obtain the tax certificate (original and duplicate). Bring the insurance policy and ID card to the DMV to complete the registration process. 2. Requirements for an agent: If an agent is handling the registration, the agent's ID card must also be brought, along with a power of attorney for license plate registration. Some local DMVs require that the agent must be a qualified intermediary to handle the relevant procedures.
