The black dust on the wheel hub is not a problem with the brake pads. Here is some relevant information about brake pads: 1. Classification of brake pads: Asbestos brake pads (basically obsolete), semi-metallic brake pads, low-metallic brake pads, NAO formula brake pads, ceramic brake pads, and NAO ceramic brake pads. 2. Ceramic brake pads vs. traditional brake pads: In traditional brake pads, metal is the main material that generates friction, providing strong braking force but with higher wear and a tendency to produce noise. After installing ceramic brake pads, no abnormal noise will occur during normal driving. Since ceramic brake pads do not contain metal components, they avoid the metal noise caused by the friction between traditional metal brake pads and their counterparts (i.e., brake pads and brake discs). 3. Stable friction coefficient: Ordinary brake pads have immature friction materials, and a friction coefficient that is too high can lead to unsafe factors such as loss of control during braking, burning of the pads, and scratching of the brake discs. Even when the brake disc temperature reaches as high as 650 degrees, the friction coefficient of ceramic brake pads remains around 0.45-0.55, ensuring the vehicle maintains good braking performance.

Where is the windshield wiper switch for Tesla Model 3?

Tesla Model 3's windshield wiper switch is located on the stalk. The middle part adjusts the wiper speed, while the outermost position is for washer fluid spray. To activate the spray, pull the stalk toward the driver. Frequent users should monitor the washer fluid level and refill promptly when low to prevent dry wiping. Additional details are as follows: 1. Windshield wipers, also known as wiper blades or windscreen wipers, are devices designed to remove rain and debris from a vehicle's windshield, enhancing driver visibility and road safety. Legally mandated in most regions, nearly all automobiles are equipped with wipers. 2. Functions of windshield wipers: (1) All vehicles come with wipers. Rear windows of hatchbacks and SUVs often feature wipers as well. Beyond cars, other transport modes like trains and trams also utilize wipers, along with heavy machinery such as cranes. (2) Regular wiper usage necessitates checking washer fluid levels; immediate refill is required if levels are critically low. Even during dry weather, reduced windshield clarity—especially noticeable at night when dust scatters light—calls for using the washer function to maintain optimal visibility.

The level of a car's fuel consumption is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle in advance when encountering a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements generally mean greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater weight will have higher fuel consumption because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, mountain roads, etc., driving on these surfaces increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block temperature is low, the gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, increasing fuel consumption. At the same time, low temperatures cause the engine computer to control higher RPMs to warm up the car, which also increases fuel consumption.
