Tesla does have ambient lighting. Here is some relevant information about Tesla: 1. Origin: Tesla Motors was founded in 2003 and is headquartered in Silicon Valley, California, USA. The name Tesla Motors is derived from the name of a scientific genius from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Nikola Tesla, who made significant contributions to the fields of electricity and electromagnetism, influencing the entire world. 2. Interior Design: The interior is predominantly black. Apart from basic operations like steering the wheel, pressing the accelerator, and braking, everything else in the Model S is wrapped in an IT exterior. The Tesla Model S's central control panel features only two physical buttons: the 'hazard warning lights' and the 'glove compartment' switch. All other operations are performed on the 17-inch color touchscreen.

I've been driving a Tesla Model S for over two years, and its ambient lighting system is truly impressive. With the standard configuration, you can adjust various color modes through the central control screen—blue, red, or green light can be switched at will. The effect is particularly soft during night driving, reducing eye fatigue. The ambient lighting also comes with smart features, such as changing with the rhythm of music or automatically adjusting brightness based on speed, enhancing the driving experience. I heard that the Model 3 and Model Y don't come with factory-installed ambient lighting, but owner groups often share modification tips. It's easy to add third-party LED light strips, which are affordable and deliver similar effects. Overall, ambient lighting isn't just decorative—it also improves nighttime visibility and comfort. I recommend new owners try the customization features when they get the car. Regularly check the lighting circuits and fuses during maintenance to avoid water damage issues.

As an ordinary driver, I was really impressed by the ambient lighting during my test drive of the Tesla Model X. The lights aren't fixed—you can manually set different color tones. For example, choosing a soft light blue hue at night creates a relaxing atmosphere in the car, and passengers often comment on how much more comfortable it feels. Although the base Model 3 doesn’t come with ambient lighting as standard, my friend added an OBD-interface light strip himself, and after adjusting the colors, it achieved the same ambient effect. The practical benefits are notable: it reduces eye strain, enhances a sense of security during night driving, and the design is understated yet functional—not overly flashy. Maintenance is simple—just wipe the light covers to prevent dust buildup. For modifications, it’s best to go to a professional shop to avoid messing up the car’s wiring. In short, while ambient lighting may seem like a small detail, it can significantly enhance the overall driving experience.

I often come across Teslas during repairs, and dealing with the ambient lighting system is quite straightforward. The Model S and X have dedicated modules that control light color and brightness. Most issues arise from blown fuses or loose connectors, which can be fixed by replacing them. LED bulbs have a long lifespan, but you should watch out for corroded interfaces. Model 3 owners looking to install additional lights need to remove interior panels and connect circuits—it's easy to cause a short circuit if attempted without expertise, so authorized shops are recommended. The practical benefits include enhanced nighttime visibility with soft, non-glaring light, making it useful from a safety perspective. For maintenance, regularly wipe the light surfaces to prevent water stains, and opt for branded accessories when modifying. Overall, ambient light maintenance is simple and worth some effort to ensure functionality.

What is the new regulation for 6-year to 10-year exemption from annual inspection for family cars?

For family cars, the new regulation for 6-year to 10-year exemption from annual inspection is: Starting from November 20, 2020, non-operational vehicles (excluding minivans) that are 6 to 10 years old will change from an annual inspection to a biennial inspection. Below is relevant information about vehicle annual inspections: 1. Introduction: Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for every vehicle that has obtained an official license plate and registration certificate. It is equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle according to the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety." Vehicle annual inspections can promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage enhanced vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents. Regulations regarding vehicle annual inspections are stipulated in documents such as the "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law." Before the annual inspection, some preparatory work is needed (such as knowing relevant information, making online appointments, understanding the process, and being aware of vehicle-related issues) to ensure a smooth and successful inspection. There are initial and regular annual inspections, as well as some related policies. 2. Timing: Vehicles can apply for an annual inspection within three months before the inspection date. It is best to apply two months or more than one month in advance. Additionally, before the 10th of each month, inspection stations have relatively fewer appointments, making it an ideal time to avoid queues. The number of vehicles increases from the middle of the month, and the end of the month is the peak period.

Can a Financed Vehicle Undergo Color Change Registration?

Color change registration is possible, but financed vehicles require the vehicle registration certificate to complete the process as per regulations. According to Article 6, Chapter 2 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law," if the color change area of a motor vehicle does not exceed 30%, no registration for modification is required. Conversely, if it exceeds 30%, the change must be registered and documented within 10 days after the color alteration. Precautions for Vehicle Color Change: Before changing the color of a motor vehicle, it is necessary to consult with the local vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to confirm whether the area permits color changes via vehicle wraps. If the region does not support this method, registration cannot be processed after the color change, and the wrap must be completely removed to restore the vehicle's original color. Documents required for applying to change the color of a motor vehicle: "Motor Vehicle Modification Registration Application Form." Original and photocopy of the identity documents of the vehicle owner and agent. Original vehicle registration certificate. Original vehicle license. Payment of all fines before the color change. Additionally, according to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," vehicle owners are no longer required to apply in advance to the vehicle management office. They can first change the vehicle color, install body kits, replace the engine, etc., and then apply for modification registration with the vehicle management office. According to Article 10, registered motor vehicles must apply for modification registration with the local vehicle management office under the following circumstances: Change of body color. Replacement of the engine. Replacement of the body or frame. Whole vehicle replacement due to quality issues. Change in usage nature, such as converting a commercial vehicle to non-commercial use or vice versa. The vehicle owner's residence moves out of or into the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office. Furthermore, according to Article 15 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles must be painted with designated patterns and equipped with alarms and signal lights as required. Other motor vehicles are prohibited from painting, installing, or using patterns, alarms, or signal lights that are specific to or resemble those of the aforementioned vehicles. According to Article 79 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," if the body color is changed without completing the required modification registration, the public security traffic management department may issue a warning or impose a fine. The vehicle may also be impounded and required to revert to its original color.

What is the battery model for the Buick Excelle car key?

The battery model is CR2032. It is a lithium manganese dioxide battery, named according to the IEC standard. Among them: C- indicates a chemical battery system with lithium metal as the negative electrode and manganese dioxide as the positive electrode; R- indicates that the shape of the battery is cylindrical, if it is square, F is used instead; 20 indicates that the diameter of the battery is 20mm; 32 represents the height of the battery is 3.2mm. The nominal voltage is 3.0V, the endpoint voltage is 2.0V, and the rated capacity is about 200mAh. CR2032 usually has a lifespan of 5 years. If the manufacturer's production level is not high or quality control is poor, its lifespan will be greatly shortened. Domestic first-tier brand batteries can basically guarantee this lifespan. If the usage environment is ideal (sealed, room temperature, no moisture, etc.), its lifespan can be further extended to 8 years or even 10 years. The usage time of the vehicle remote key battery is closely related to the frequency of use. The more frequently it is used, the shorter the usage time will be. If the remote key battery runs out of power, you can directly use the mechanical key to open the vehicle and start it. The batteries used in car remote keys are button batteries, mainly including models: CR2016, CR2025, CR2032, and CR2450. For the specific model used in each key, the owner can refer to the battery model in the user manual for replacement. Button-type CR2016 battery: The usage rate of car key remotes is very high, almost one of the most common car remote batteries. The voltage of this battery is 3V, and general car key batteries are powered by 9V, so every time the battery is replaced, three batteries need to be replaced. Examples include: Guangben, Toyota, Volkswagen, Mazda, etc. CR2016 specifications: battery diameter 20mm, thickness 1.6mm. Button-type CR2025 battery: Its usage rate is much lower than that of CR2016. However, some car keys still use it. It is thicker than the 2016 model but has a relatively higher storage capacity. CR2025 specifications: battery diameter 20mm, thickness 2.5mm. This type of battery is also commonly used in audio remotes. Button battery CR2032: Its thickness is twice that of CR2016. The 3V-CR2032 lithium manganese battery belongs to the lithium-manganese dioxide structure. The positive electrode material is chemically very stable manganese dioxide, the negative electrode material is lithium metal, and the electrolyte is a lithium battery. The main components of the electrolyte are ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, propylene carbonate, and lithium perchlorate. It is shaped like a button, hence the name button lithium battery or lithium manganese button battery. Button battery CR2450: Compared to the other three models, it is thicker and larger, with a diameter of 24.5mm and a height of 5.0mm. The rated current value of CR2450 is 0.2mA, mainly used in low-power electronic products. Generally, the battery can provide an output current of 0.001mA to 5mA, a continuous output current of up to 15mA, and a flash output current of up to 30mA, meeting the requirements of most small electronic products for light emission, sound, and RF output.
