Tesla offers 400 kWh of free charging credit in the first year, which is only applicable to the vehicle itself and cannot be transferred or refunded. After exceeding the 400 kWh limit, fees will be automatically deducted from the credit card linked to the Tesla account. Below are detailed explanations about it: 1. Explanation one: The 400 kWh of free charging credit per year cannot be carried over to the next year if unused. On each annual delivery anniversary, the vehicle's free Supercharger credit will be reset to 400 kWh. 2. Explanation two: If the vehicle continues to occupy a Supercharger parking spot after charging is completed, a certain idle fee will be charged.

What Causes the Loud Noise When Releasing the Brake During Car Startup?

The reasons for the loud noise when releasing the brake during car startup are as follows: 1. Releasing the brake too slowly when starting. When the brake pedal is released gradually, the engine already has sufficient power to propel the car forward, but the brake hasn't been fully released yet. As a result, the moving wheels are restrained by the brake system, naturally causing abnormal noise. 2. The brake disc and brake pads are stuck together due to rust, causing abnormal noise. This situation usually occurs after driving in rainy weather and then leaving the car unused for several days. The brake disc and brake pads rust and stick together, resulting in noise when starting the car again. 3. The semi-metallic material of the brake pads. Brake pads contain a large amount of metal fibers, which can sometimes form metal particles. These particles produce a harsh noise when pressing or releasing the brake. This noise typically disappears after driving for a while. If it persists, it may indicate poor manufacturing quality, and it is advisable to replace the brake pads promptly to avoid scratching the brake disc.

Does Revving in Neutral Gear Damage the Car?

When revving the engine in neutral gear, as long as the engine speed does not reach 5000rpm or 6000rpm (varies by model), meaning the tachometer needle does not enter the red zone on the dashboard, it will not affect the vehicle. In neutral gear, the engine is simply idling, and as long as the speed remains within the normal range, it will not have any impact on the engine or transmission. Car gear positions include: 1. P (Park) gear, used for long-term parking; 2. R (Reverse) gear, engaged when the vehicle needs to move backward; 3. N (Neutral) gear, used for short-term parking without turning off the engine; 4. D (Drive) gear, where the vehicle automatically shifts gears based on throttle opening and speed data when the gear lever is in this position.

How to Clean a Dirty Car Roof?

Here are the methods to clean a dirty car roof: 1. First, recline the seats. 2. Cover them with a towel or seat cover to prevent contamination from water or cleaning agents dripping from the roof. 3. Then, fill a spray bottle with water and diluted cleaning solution and spray it onto the roof. 4. Once the cleaning agent starts to foam slightly, gently scrub with a soft brush using light pressure. Additional Information: The padding inside the car roof is made of heat-insulating and sound-absorbing material, which has strong water absorption. When cleaning, make sure to wring out the cloth thoroughly. Otherwise, a damp towel soaked with cleaning agent may make the roof material difficult to dry and could even cause it to peel off. Additionally, always use a high-quality foam cleaner with a long dwell time and neutral pH. This ensures the fabric won’t corrode or discolor and prevents water stains.

What Are the Reasons Why the Car Window Glass Cannot Be Rolled Down?

The reasons why the car window glass cannot be rolled up or down include: deformation or damage to the glass mud slot; loose screws fixing the window regulator; damage to the window regulator; deviation in the installation position of the guide rail. If the power window cannot be rolled up or down, first check whether the problem occurs with some windows or all windows. The specific reasons why the car window glass cannot be rolled up or down are as follows: 1. Damage to the window regulator motor or poor contact of the electronic control wiring harness: If there is a burnt smell or noise inside the door panel when the window button is pressed for a long time, it is likely that the window regulator motor components are damaged. 2. Motor overheating protection: To protect the power supply circuit, most window regulator motors are equipped with an overheating protection mechanism. If the components overheat for some reason, the motor will enter the overheating protection state, resulting in the window regulator malfunctioning. 3. Excessive resistance in the glass guide slot: The door glass guide slot is a detail that is often overlooked. During use, dust can accumulate in the glass guide slot, increasing resistance, which may over time affect the smooth rolling up of the glass. 4. Loss of computer data: Disconnecting the car battery, disconnecting the power or ground wire of the window control module during maintenance of other systems, or strictly prohibiting starting the engine due to power loss, etc., can all cause the initialization data of the window to be lost, resulting in the window not being able to roll up or down.

What is the content of Driving Test Subject 4?

According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses", the content of Subject 4 is safety and civilized driving knowledge questions, consisting of 50 questions, mainly in the form of cases, pictures, animations, etc., with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123, Subject 3 was divided into two parts: in addition to the road test, a safety and civilized knowledge test was added, commonly known as Subject 4. It is not a separate subject, but because this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly referred to as the Subject 4 test. Officially, there is no Subject 4. The safety and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3. There is no limit to the number of attempts for Subject 4. If the first test on the day is not passed, an on-site retake is allowed once. If it is still not passed, a new appointment is required, and no retake fee is charged. However, it should be noted that the validity period of the driving skill test permit is three years. If the applicant does not complete the test within the validity period, the results of the already passed subjects will be invalidated. Subject 4 test notes: Test time: The test time is 45 minutes, and if 12 points (6 questions) are wrong during the answering process, the test will be terminated. Number of questions: According to the type of driver's license being tested, 50 questions are selected proportionally from the corresponding Subject 4 question bank, with each question worth 2 points. Test question types: The test questions are divided into single-choice questions (including true/false questions) and multiple-choice questions. The first 45 questions are single-choice, and the last 5 are multiple-choice. The test questions include animation questions, picture questions, scenario identification questions, and text narrative questions. Retake notes: If Subject 4 is not passed, only Subject 4 needs to be retaken. The driving school will schedule the retake, and there is no limit to the number of retakes. No retake fee is required for Subject 4 retakes. Subject 4 test tips: Strengthen the error-prone areas and find the reasons for mistakes. For marked questions, do not just look at the correct answer and memorize it. Refer to regulations, textbooks, or reference books to find out the reason for the mistake and understand and digest the reason. Classify and summarize the test questions. Refer to the question bank analysis for classification and find similar questions: There are many similar questions in the question bank that are easy to confuse, so they need to be taken out for summary and analysis. For example, the patterns of walking, hiking, pedestrian crossing, and pedestrian crossing signs in traffic signs are very similar and easy to confuse. During study, they should be classified so that mistakes are less likely to occur. Find memory techniques: There are many questions with numbers in the question bank. The numbers can be summarized for easier memory. There are a total of 3 subjects in the driving test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 3 is divided into two parts. Subject 1 refers to the test subject of road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge; Subject 2 refers to the test subject of site driving skills; Subject 3 refers to the test subject of road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge.
