The domestic Model 3 does not have a four-wheel drive version. The domestic Model 3 only has a rear-wheel drive version, which is a single-motor model. The Model 3 is a medium-sized pure electric vehicle under Tesla, a pure electric vehicle manufacturer from Silicon Valley, USA. In terms of body dimensions, the Model 3 has a length, width, and height of 4694mm, 1850mm, and 1443mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2875mm. The Model 3 wheel specifications adopt the standard 18-inch power wheels across the entire range, featuring wheel cover designs that can reduce driving wind resistance and improve range. If the wheel covers are removed, the appearance looks more aggressive.

To be honest, I'm quite familiar with the configurations of Tesla's domestically produced models. When the Model 3 was first localized in China, there was indeed a Long Range All-Wheel Drive version with dual motors that delivered an incredibly strong acceleration kick. But checking the official website now, the domestic versions mainly come in two options: Rear-Wheel Drive Standard Range and Performance High-Performance All-Wheel Drive. The AWD version costs tens of thousands more but can sprint from 0-100 km/h in under 3 seconds, and offers much better traction in rain or snow. Recently, I heard some stores still have old AWD versions in stock for clearance, but you'd need to call your local store for details. It's best to test drive and compare before buying—the AWD version consumes a bit more electricity, but the driving experience is truly on another level.

When researching electric vehicle configurations, a pattern was noticed: automakers often play with model iterations. The domestically produced Model 3 initially launched with a Long Range All-Wheel Drive version, later adjusted to a dual-line strategy of Rear-Wheel Drive Standard Range + All-Wheel Drive Performance. Currently, the all-wheel-drive version is mainly reflected in the Performance model, with a combined power of over 350kW from the dual motors front and rear. A little-known fact: last year's delivered all-wheel-drive versions used CATL batteries, while this year's batches quietly switched to LG, with a slight range increase of 10 kilometers. It's recommended to check owner forums for the latest delivery details before placing an order, as there may be subtle differences in configurations between different batches.

Talking about the AWD version is quite interesting. The domestic Model 3 AWD is now called the Performance version, with red stripes on the steering wheel for high recognition. Last week, when I accompanied a friend to pick up the car, I saw the actual vehicle—Brembo calipers on the front wheels and lowered suspension come standard. The salesperson revealed a little secret: choosing the white interior includes free floor mats, while the black interior requires an additional purchase. The displayed range is 675 km, but the actual range is around 550 km; using seat heating in winter drains the battery a bit faster. One minor drawback: the rear seat angle is a bit too upright, so consider this carefully for long trips with family.

Checking the levels of coolant, battery fluid, and windshield washer fluid; 2. Inspecting the brake and clutch fluid levels, as well as the power steering fluid level; 3. Examining tire pressure and wear, and tightening screws to the specified torque. The benefits of a car's first maintenance include: 1. Ensuring the vehicle performs at its best; 2. Improving the vehicle's efficiency and reducing wear on parts and tires; 3. Enhancing driving safety; 4. Preventing potential hazards caused by vehicle issues; 5. Reducing noise and environmental pollution; 6. Maintaining the vehicle's appearance and preventing damage.

Why Wear Gloves for Subject One Exam?

Wearing gloves during the Subject One exam is to prevent sweaty palms, which could otherwise lead to accidental touches on the answers. Precautions for the Subject One exam: 1. Arrive early: Regardless of which driving school you're from, try to arrive about half an hour early before the exam; since most examinees are taking Subject One for the first time, arriving early allows the team leader from each driving school to distribute admission tickets and explain exam techniques and key points to pay attention to. 2. Bring your ID card: Carry your ID card, as it will be scanned along with the admission ticket on a card reader to assign random seat numbers before entering the exam hall. 3. Find your seat: After being assigned a seat number, locate your seat; it's especially important not to click "Confirm" on the screen until the invigilator instructs you to do so. Simply sit in your seat without any operations (otherwise, you may be asked to leave the exam hall).

What Do the Numbers on Wheel Sizes Mean?

Automotive tire numbers and letters represent tire parameters. Taking 215/70R15 as an example, 215 indicates the tire section width is 215mm; 70 is the aspect ratio, meaning the tire sidewall height is 70% of the tire section width, R stands for radial tire, and 15 means the tire fits a 15-inch wheel hub. Below is relevant information about tires: 1. Tire lifespan: The wear life of tires is 30,000-50,000 kilometers. If the tire hasn't reached the wear limit or mileage but has been in use for 5 years or shows extensive sidewall cracks, it should be replaced. 2. Tire material: The main component of tires is rubber. The maximum storage and anti-aging duration for rubber, from natural latex to EPDM and nitrile, does not exceed 10 years, with the average service life of various rubber products in use being 3-5 years.

How to Drive a Car with Manual and Automatic Transmission?

Car with manual and automatic transmission has M+ and M- buttons, which can be used to set the gear of the vehicle and switch between manual mode and automatic mode. Switch to manual mode in the following situations: 1. When accelerating to overtake. Manual mode accelerates faster and more powerfully than automatic mode, so it is better to switch to manual mode when you want to overtake. 2. When going downhill for a long distance. In this case, using manual mode to go downhill is more convenient and can reduce the number of times the car brakes, thereby reducing tire wear. 3. When encountering continuous undulating roads. At this time, using manual mode can not only improve driving stability and safety but also reduce the wear and tear on the vehicle caused by continuous braking. 4. When climbing a slope. Switching to manual mode at this time can give the vehicle more power, making it easier to climb the slope.

What does the 215/50r17 tire mean?

Automotive tire specification 215/50r17 refers to a tread width of 215mm; 50 is the aspect ratio (tire height ÷ tread width) indicating 50%; r denotes that the tire has a radial structure with steel belts; 17 indicates the rim diameter is 17 inches. When using tires, pay attention to the following points: 1. Develop the habit of regularly checking tire pressure: Pressure is key to extending tire lifespan—frequently exceeding normal pressure by 20% reduces tire life by 10%; if frequently below normal pressure by 30%, tire life decreases by 52%. 2. Maintain consistent tire pressure: Tire pressure is the lifeblood of tires. Low pressure increases tire body deformation, leading to sidewall cracks, excessive heat generation, rubber aging, ply fatigue, and cord breakage. 3. Regularly remove foreign objects from tires: While driving, small stones often get lodged in the tread grooves. If not promptly removed, these stones can puncture the tire over time, causing leaks or blowouts.
