I remember back in 2003 when I first entered the automotive industry, Tesla was founded that same year, specifically in July. Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning established the company in California with the goal of creating innovative electric vehicles. They faced tight budgets in the early days, hiring many engineers but making slow progress. It wasn't until 2004 when Elon Musk invested and joined the board that things accelerated. In my projects, I often study the history of such startups, and I believe 2003 was a pivotal moment—that's when the foundation was laid for the Roadster and Model S, which drove the entire EV revolution. Tesla's current success all stems from that courageous beginning. Looking back, the many challenges in the founding phase taught the importance of perseverance, and the company's growth trajectory is truly inspiring.

As a car enthusiast, I looked up information and found that Tesla was founded in 2003. At that time, I was still in high school and particularly interested in cars, but electric vehicles still seemed like a sci-fi concept. Shortly after Martin and Marc established the company, Elon joined and provided significant help. When the first Roadster was launched in 2008, it was incredibly cool and changed my perception: electric cars could also be high-performance. From that year onward, Tesla continuously innovated, introducing more and more models. I believe 2003 is not just a year; it marked the beginning of a new wave in the automotive industry and ignited my passion for learning mechanical engineering. Looking back now, those early startup stories are incredibly fascinating, like a dream-come-true version of a garage tale.

What are the advantages of Chery's 9-speed CVT over the 7-speed?

When purchasing a car, consumers mainly consider factors such as the vehicle price, reliability of the core components, comfort, space, fuel consumption, and more. The Wanliyang 9-speed CVT, supported by Chery's core technology, has already been installed in many popular domestic models (such as Geely's Vision SUV, Emgrand GL, and Emgrand GS), so there's no need to worry about quality issues. The advantages of the 9-speed CVT are as follows: CVT Characteristics: It inherits the characteristics of CVT, providing smooth driving without jerks, though it slightly lacks driving excitement. However, it excels in smoothness and low fuel consumption, making it an excellent choice for family use. Due to the structure of the transmission, it is advisable to avoid heavy throttle starts when using a CVT to prevent belt slippage, which could affect transmission efficiency and even the lifespan of the transmission. Fuel Consumption: In terms of fuel consumption, the simulated 7-speed, which is the previous generation product of the 9-speed, averages around 6 liters in suburban areas, over 8 liters in congested areas, and as low as 3.7 liters on highways.

What is the chassis of the BMW 5 Series?

The new generation 5 Series still adopts a double-wishbone independent suspension for the front suspension, while the rear suspension has undergone significant changes compared to the previous generation. The trapezoidal lower control arm design offers the advantage of simpler assembly compared to the five-link suspension, but the five-link suspension clearly excels in optimizing wheel movement trajectories. Below are the relevant details: Positioning: The BMW 5 Series is a product of the German automaker BMW, positioned as a mid-size sedan with a stylish appearance, making it highly favored by young professionals and occupying a notable share in the domestic mid-to-high-end car market. Model: The exterior dimensions of the BMW 5 Series are 5047X1860X1491 (millimeters), with a wheelbase of 2888 millimeters. The new 5 Series is 66 millimeters longer than its predecessor. The powertrain of the BMW 5 Series has been further enhanced. The top-tier 545i variant is equipped with a V8 engine from the 7 Series, delivering a maximum power of 245 kW/333 hp (at 6100 rpm) and a maximum torque of 450 Nm (at 3600 rpm), with a top speed of 250 km/h and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of just 5.9 seconds.

Can Elderly Mobility Scooters Be Driven on the Road?

They cannot be driven on the road. Here are the relevant details: Reasons: Elderly mobility scooters driven on urban roads not only lack license plates but also cannot be registered. Elderly mobility scooters are typical "three illegal" products—illegally produced, illegally sold, and illegally driven—hence they are not permitted on the road. Elderly Mobility Scooters: Also known as elderly electric vehicles, these scooters come in two types: three-wheeled and four-wheeled. When designing them, manufacturers do not simply apply the configurations of two-wheeled electric bicycles to elderly mobility scooters; instead, they are equipped with dedicated motors and controllers specifically for mobility scooters.

Will the record of running a red light be permanently on file?

The record of a vehicle running a red light will be permanently kept on file and will not be easily erased. Criteria for determining a red light violation: Electronic monitoring devices capture three photos as evidence for determining a red light violation: the front wheels crossing the stop line, the rear wheels crossing the stop line, and the front wheels crossing the opposite stop line. Only when all three photos are available will it be considered a red light violation. How to avoid running a red light while driving: Follow arrow signals when available; otherwise, observe the circular light. When the red light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line. When the yellow light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line. When the green light just starts flashing, if you are close and moving fast, you should proceed, as braking might not stop you in time to avoid crossing the stop line. If you are far away, moving slowly, or the intersection is congested, you should stop. When driving in the city, develop the habit of looking for traffic lights whenever you see a crosswalk or stop line and approach an intersection.

How Long Does It Generally Take to Practice for Driving License Subject 2?

One to two weeks. Subject 2 requires 2 hours of theoretical training and 22 hours of practical training, which are mandatory regulations. If a student fails to complete the required training hours, they cannot independently schedule and thus cannot take the Subject 2 exam. Below is relevant information: Increase practice frequency: To complete the required hours and take the exam, naturally, one needs to increase the frequency of practice sessions at the driving school. This not only helps students complete the required hours more quickly but also ensures continuous learning, leading to more proficient driving skills. It also avoids the need for repetitive practice, which might result in completing the hours without mastering the skills. Subject 2 exam tips: For parallel parking, remember to find the correct angle, turn the steering wheel quickly, react promptly, and coordinate with the car's speed. For hill starts, remember to engage the handbrake, always turn on the left turn signal when starting, release the handbrake, stabilize the clutch, and gently press the accelerator while releasing the clutch to avoid stalling or rolling back. For right-angle turns, quickly react and turn once the reference point is found, ensuring coordination with the car's speed to avoid deviation.
