You don't have to go to the official Tesla service center, as Tesla 4S shops do not offer bodywork and paint repair services. Additional Information: About Tesla: Tesla (Tesla) is an American electric vehicle and energy company that manufactures and sells electric cars, solar panels, and energy storage devices. Headquartered in Palo Alto, the company was named "Tesla Motors" by its founders in honor of physicist Nikola Tesla. Tesla CEO Elon Musk stated that Tesla strives to provide every average consumer with pure electric vehicles within their purchasing power; Tesla's vision is to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy.

I've been driving a Tesla for several years and would recommend prioritizing official service centers for paint touch-ups. Tesla has specific paint formulas and color databases, allowing their technicians to achieve precise color matching, avoiding mismatches or uneven patches that can significantly impact the vehicle's appearance and resale value. I once had a door scratch repaired at a small shop, and the color turned out yellowish and inconsistent—it wasn't resolved until I went to the official center for a redo. Official services also include checks on sensors and electronic systems, helping detect hidden damage early and keeping the warranty intact. Although it's more expensive (around 1,000–2,000 RMB per touch-up), the peace of mind and long-term benefits make it worth the extra cost. Non-official shops may be cheaper but carry higher risks—poor color matching can ruin the car's aesthetics and even lower its resale value, especially for Tesla's unique shades like deep blue or red, which are harder to replicate.

What is the remote start distance in meters?

2021 CR-V remote start distance is 10 meters. Remote start refers to starting the engine remotely via the key fob. The principle is quite simple: the vehicle starts the engine based on the signal received from the remote key. The remote start function has certain limitations for the vehicle itself, the most important being that it can only be installed in automatic transmission models. CR-V remote start operation method: First press the lock button, then hold the HOLD button. When the turn signals flash six times consecutively, it indicates that the engine has been successfully started remotely. The air conditioning will automatically turn on with internal circulation and adjust the cabin temperature based on the external temperature. A distance of 30 meters is no problem. Precautions for using CR-V remote start: When using it, note that the preheating time should not exceed the manufacturer's limit of ten minutes, and the number of starts should not exceed two. This is because the engine warms up much more slowly when idling in place compared to normal driving, and the three-way catalytic converter takes a long time to reach its operating temperature of above 350 degrees. During this time, the engine produces exhaust gases due to incomplete combustion, which places a significant burden on the three-way catalytic converter. Prolonged use under these conditions can damage the three-way catalytic converter.
