For Model 3 RWD owners, home charging is the most practical option. With a 7kW slow charger, it takes about 6.5 hours to go from 20% to 90%, and in real-world tests, it adds roughly 50 km of range per hour. For long-range versions or models with larger batteries like the Model S, it might take 8-9 hours. However, it's best not to wait until the battery is completely drained—I usually plug in after work, and by the time I finish dinner and watch some shows, it's ready for the next day's commute. Note that charging slows down in cold winter weather, so it's better to plug in and let the battery preheat for about 30 minutes before charging to save time.

Can a Brand-New Car Go on a Long Highway Trip?

Can a Brand-New Car Go on a Long Highway Trip? A brand-new car can indeed go on a long highway trip. Here are some precautions to consider when driving a new car on a long highway journey: 1. Do not exceed 100 km/h on the highway, avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration, and gently press the brakes and accelerator. 2. It is advisable to have the car inspected at a 4S store before the trip. 3. Overloading the new car can cause damage to its components. 4. Choose roads with better quality to minimize excessive vibration, impact, or emergency braking, reducing the load on the body and powertrain. 5. Take breaks at service areas for trips longer than 2 hours, as prolonged continuous engine operation can lead to increased wear and tear on components.

Does the Trumpchi GS8 have window anti-pinch function?

Trumpchi GS8 windows are equipped with anti-pinch function. The anti-pinch controller not only enhances vehicle safety and elevates the car's grade, but also significantly extends the service life of the power windows. At the upper and lower dead center positions, the controller automatically cuts off power regardless of whether the window switch is released, preventing motor burnout due to prolonged stalling. Below is more information about the window anti-pinch function: 1. Function: Generally, the window anti-pinch feature in cars operates based on 'touch' control. When the control system detects pressure during window ascent, it immediately stops the upward movement and commands the window to descend to prevent injuries. 2. Composition: It consists of infrared transmitters and receivers installed on the window interior trim, which continuously and precisely scan the designated area. Within a range of 4~200 mm from the upper edge of the window opening frame, the system will instantly stop window ascent upon detecting any foreign object.

What does zero tire pressure continued driving mean?

The meaning of zero tire pressure continued driving is run-flat tires. The following are the advantages and disadvantages of run-flat tires: 1. Advantages of run-flat tires: (1) Relatively higher safety. When a tire blows out or loses pressure, it will not deform severely and can continue to drive for up to 300km without air. (2) Increases trunk space. After a tire blowout, it can continue to drive for a certain distance, acting as a spare tire. 2. Disadvantages of run-flat tires: (1) High cost. The use and maintenance costs are higher than ordinary tires. (2) Poor comfort. The tire walls are thick and hard, resulting in greater tire noise. (3) High fuel consumption. Run-flat tires are heavier than ordinary tires.

What are the simple solutions for an inaccurate fuel gauge?

An inaccurate fuel gauge can be resolved by cleaning the fuel level sensor and choosing higher-quality gasoline. Additionally, regular cleaning of the fuel system and fuel tank is recommended. Clean gasoline reduces impurities in the fuel pump, significantly lowering the probability of fuel gauge malfunctions. Symptoms and causes of an inaccurate fuel gauge: 1. The fuel gauge needle moves inconsistently: This is a common issue, typically observed when the fuel gauge needle drops slowly in the first half but accelerates after passing the midpoint. However, this inconsistent movement is not necessarily a malfunction; it is related to the design of the fuel pump, which cannot uniformly reflect fuel consumption due to the difficulty in achieving a consistent rate of change, and cannot be altered by repairs or part replacements. 2. The fuel gauge suddenly drops to zero: The fuel gauge's indication depends on the fuel level sensor. This situation indicates a problem with the vehicle's fuel level sensor, likely due to contamination that wasn't cleaned promptly. Gasoline contains many impurities, and prolonged immersion of the fuel level sensor can lead to contamination, directly affecting the accuracy of the readings. 3. The fuel gauge reading increases: This occurs when the linkage between the fuel level sensor and the float gets stuck, preventing the float from moving up and down normally. As a result, the fuel level sensor doesn't change, causing the fuel gauge needle to remain fixed at a certain position.

What do the car's internal and external circulation mean?

Air is circulated internally by the blower moving the air inside the car, while external circulation involves airflow entering the blower through wind pressure or air ducts. The two circulation modes are used as follows: 1. External circulation usage: (1) After purchasing a new car, turn on the external circulation to allow harmful gases inside the car to volatilize and dissipate. (2) When driving on the highway for extended periods, turn on the external circulation to replenish oxygen inside the car. 2. Internal circulation usage: (1) During traffic jams when exhaust fumes are dense, turn on the internal circulation to prevent outside exhaust from entering the car. (2) In sandy or dusty weather, turn on the internal circulation to prevent outside dust from entering and reduce the impact of sand on the air filter.
