Buying a new energy vehicle does not require paying purchase tax, provided the following conditions are met: 1. The vehicle must be a pure electric vehicle, plug-in hybrid vehicle, or fuel cell vehicle that is licensed for sale in China. The power battery used must not include lead-acid batteries; 2. For plug-in hybrid commercial vehicles, the comprehensive fuel consumption (excluding fuel consumption converted from electricity) must be less than 60% of the corresponding limit in the current national standard for conventional fuel consumption; 3. For plug-in hybrid passenger vehicles, the comprehensive fuel consumption (excluding fuel consumption converted from electricity) must be less than 60% of the corresponding target value in the current national standard for conventional fuel consumption.

When I bought a new energy vehicle last time, I learned that basically no purchase tax is required because national policies encourage people to choose environmentally friendly models. For example, pure electric vehicles and some plug-in hybrid vehicles have been exempt from purchase tax since a few years ago, and this incentive has been extended to 2027. Specifically, when I bought my car, I saved about 10% of the car's price, which was quite cost-effective. The process is simple: apply for tax exemption directly in the tax system when purchasing the car, just bring the car purchase invoice and ID. Additionally, local governments may offer extra subsidies, such as when I was in Beijing, I also received a cash rebate. Overall, this policy encourages more people to switch to new energy vehicles, saving money and benefiting the environment. It is recommended to check the latest rules on the official website before buying a car to avoid misinformation.

How Long Can You Drive with the Maintenance Warning On?

There is no fixed answer to how long you can drive after the car prompts for maintenance; it could range from tens to hundreds of kilometers, as long as the vehicle does not experience any malfunctions. Below is some relevant information about car maintenance: 1. Brake Fluid Replacement: The brake fluid must be replaced every two years or 50,000 kilometers, and the brake warning system and brake booster should be checked. For manual transmission vehicles, the transmission gear oil should be replaced every 12 months or 5,000 kilometers. 2. Precautions: If the maintenance reminder light comes on, it is best to perform maintenance as soon as possible. If vehicle malfunctions are detected and resolved promptly, it can also help improve the vehicle's resale value.

How to Deal with Fogging on the Inside of the Window Glass?

For fog on the front windshield, you can turn on the air conditioner or natural air, using the windshield defrost setting. Here are specific methods to solve window fogging: 1. Turn on the air conditioner: For quick defogging, turn on the air conditioner, adjust the vent selector knob to the front windshield position, close or reduce more than three vents, and set the air volume adjustment knob to a suitable position. 2. Anti-fog agent: Use a specialized glass anti-fog agent available at supermarkets or auto parts stores. If a specialized anti-fog agent is not available, household glass cleaners or dishwashing liquid can be used as substitutes. Dampen a clean cloth with it, wipe the inner surface of the windshield, and then clean the glass thoroughly to achieve an anti-fog effect.

How to open the door of a Tesla electric car?

Tesla electric cars automatically pop out the door handles when the external key is near. Here is a detailed introduction to opening Tesla car doors: 1. External door opening: Tesla car doors are equipped with intelligent detection. When the key is near the door, the door handle will automatically pop out for easy access. 2. After entering the car: Once inside the vehicle, step on the brake to start the car. Additional information about Tesla doors: 1. Overall control: The Tesla central control panel has only two physical buttons, namely the "Hazard Warning Lights" and the "Glove Box" switch. All other operations are completed on the 17-inch color touch screen. 2. Driving safety: Tesla can activate the handbrake by pressing the P (Park) button on the gear lever, but this will make the system assume the car has stopped and passengers are ready to exit, causing all four door handles to automatically extend.

What to Do When an Old Car's Chassis Feels Loose?

For an old car with a loose chassis, it is advisable to avoid driving over curbs and to slow down when passing through potholes or speed bumps to minimize damage to the suspension. Below is a detailed introduction to solutions for a loose chassis: 1. Characteristics of a Loose Chassis: Difficulty in returning the steering wheel to the center, large steering play with imprecise direction, weak sense of direction, and unclear road feedback inside the car. Severe chassis noises, especially on unpaved roads, with heightened sensitivity to road irregularities, significant body sway, and excessive suspension rebound. Slow suspension rebound, sluggish handling, especially during high-speed turns, where the steering wheel angle does not correspond proportionally to the wheel angle. Reduced high-speed stability, with an unclear sense of direction at high speeds, making oversteering highly likely. Noticeable body pitching during frequent city driving starts. 2. Solutions for a Loose Chassis: In daily driving, avoid driving over curbs and slow down when passing through potholes or speed bumps to minimize suspension damage. Additionally, ensure the steering wheel is centered when parking and choose flat ground for parking. Tires, as the only wear-and-tear parts in contact with the ground, should be replaced timely. Finally, during driving, pay attention to subtle changes in handling and suspension. During maintenance, request a comprehensive chassis inspection by a mechanic and replace any faulty components promptly.

Does skipping an oil filter change once in a while affect the car?

Skipping an oil filter change once in a while has no impact, but prolonged neglect can lead to excessive impurities on the filter paper, clogging its pores and reducing oil flow rate, which affects engine lubrication and normal vehicle operation. The oil filter removes impurities such as dust, metal particles, carbon deposits, and soot from the oil, supplying clean oil to components like the crankshaft, connecting rods, camshaft, turbocharger, and piston rings. This ensures lubrication, cooling, and cleaning, reducing engine wear, optimizing performance, and extending the lifespan of these parts. Maintenance tips: Replace the oil filter every 5,000–10,000 km; check the oil dipstick (oil level) weekly, monitoring oil color and viscosity changes. While the engine is running, regularly monitor oil pressure—if it's too low, replace the oil filter and restart to check. If pressure remains low, inspect the engine and the oil filter's filtration efficiency, ensuring it meets at least 70%.
