It is difficult for a 4S store to take responsibility for sunroof leaks unless there is evidence proving that the leakage was caused by maintenance errors at the 4S store damaging the sunroof. However, such cases are extremely rare. Poor rainwater drainage: Blocked sunroof drainage outlets can lead to poor rainwater drainage, gradually causing water to seep into the car interior. This phenomenon mainly occurs when the owner fails to regularly clean the roof, allowing debris to flow with rainwater and clog the drainage outlets. For such issues, a hook made from wire can be used to reach into the drainage holes and remove the debris. Alternatively, a repair shop can use an air gun to blow out the debris from the drainage holes. Damaged sunroof seal: The sunroof seal is made of rubber and can age over time. Repeated friction from the sunroof glass can cause the seal to wear out, leading to poor sealing and leaks during rainy weather. In such cases, it is important to regularly inspect the aging condition of the seal and replace it promptly if damaged. When selecting a seal, choose one with good performance and resistance to aging and corrosion.

What is the actual range of the Model Y Standard Range?

mode-y Standard Range actual range is 507 kilometers. Driving habits: They are the most critical factor in the power consumption of the vehicle's powertrain, closely related to throttle opening, discharge current, driving conditions, and speed. Pay attention to the discharge current and maintain a low and stable output; the vehicle will be relatively more energy-efficient. For example, gently and lightly pressing the accelerator pedal, minimizing sudden braking, using ECO mode, and fully utilizing the vehicle's energy recovery function are recommended. Try to use SPORT mode as little as possible. Vehicle load: The number of passengers or heavy loads in the vehicle, or low tire pressure, will consume more power to overcome the resistance during driving, leading to increased power consumption during the journey and reduced range.

How to Handle the Alarm After a Vehicle is Fitted with a Tracker?

Fitting a tracker on a vehicle without consent is illegal and may result in public security penalties such as fines or detention by the authorities, depending on the circumstances. Additional details are as follows: 1. Overview: Installing a tracking device on a vehicle infringes on personal privacy rights and constitutes an illegal act. In terms of privacy rights alone, the Criminal Law does not currently classify this as a criminal offense. 2. Privacy Rights: For cases where privacy rights are violated with serious consequences, the affected party may file a civil lawsuit in court to demand the cessation of the infringement and compensation for damages. According to Article 42 of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law, any of the following acts may result in up to five days of detention or a fine of up to 500 yuan; for more severe cases, detention may range from five to ten days, with an additional fine of up to 500 yuan possible: writing threatening letters or using other methods to threaten personal safety; publicly insulting others or fabricating facts to slander others; fabricating facts to falsely accuse others, attempting to subject them to criminal investigation or public security penalties; threatening, insulting, assaulting, or retaliating against witnesses or their close relatives; repeatedly sending obscene, insulting, threatening, or other disruptive messages that interfere with normal life; peeping, secretly photographing, eavesdropping, or disseminating others' privacy.

Should Model Y Choose 20-inch Wheels?

Tesla Model Y's default configuration features black exterior, black interior, and 19-inch wheel rims. The 19-inch tires are Hankook brand, offering the best cost-performance ratio. However, owners can optionally upgrade to 20-inch wheels. Model Y's 20-inch tires are Michelin, paired with 255/45R19 and 255/40R20 tires respectively. Below is additional information: Function of Tires: Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery for ground contact and rolling. Typically installed on metal rims, they support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, ensure contact with the road surface, and maintain driving performance. Key Characteristics: Tires operate under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and extreme temperatures during use. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, and shock absorption. Additionally, they require excellent wear resistance, flexibility, low rolling resistance, and minimal heat generation.

What is the wading depth of Model Y?

Model Y has a maximum wading depth of 138mm. The wading depth of Model Y is determined by the height of the vehicle chassis, which is the ground clearance listed in the model's parameter configuration table. Generally, the greater the ground clearance, the higher the chassis, and the higher the safety factor when passing through waterlogged roads. Therefore, in terms of safe wading depth, off-road vehicles and SUVs have obvious advantages. However, for most compact and small cars with low chassis, the position of the vehicle's air intake should be used as a reference when passing through waterlogged roads. If the air intake of Model Y is below the water level during wading, water will be sucked into the engine cylinders. Since water cannot be compressed like air, it will cause severe damage to the engine's mechanical components (such as connecting rods, pistons, crankshafts, etc.). Therefore, the wading depth should not exceed the height of the engine air intake. The height of the engine air intake, and thus the maximum wading depth, can also be increased by installing a snorkel. If wading is unavoidable, the following safe and correct operations should be performed: Before the vehicle enters the water, always turn off the auto start-stop function to prevent the engine from automatically restarting after stalling in water, which could cause severe damage due to water ingestion. Assess the underwater road conditions based on the passage of preceding vehicles and choose an appropriate entry point. Observe the path taken by other vehicles and follow their tracks at low speed, avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration. On roads prone to water accumulation, observe warning water level markers, trees, or reference points such as the wheels and doors of other vehicles to judge the water depth before deciding whether to proceed. Know your vehicle's safe wading depth. If the water depth exceeds half of the tire height or the engine air intake, do not proceed and choose an alternative route instead.
