After driving through deep water, it may cause short circuits in the car's wiring, poor contact, water ingress into the engine, and reduced lifespan. Water entering the engine after wading can lead to issues such as insufficient power and shaking. Prolonged use under such conditions may cause deformation or even fracture of the piston connecting rod, ultimately resulting in engine damage. Precautions for vehicle wading: Cleaning the chassis: During rainy days, there is often a lot of water on the roads, mixed with various debris like fallen leaves. When a vehicle wades through water, these debris can easily adhere to gaps in the chassis, leading to rust over time. Therefore, it's essential to clean the chassis after wading. Checking the brakes: After successfully wading through water, avoid speeding up immediately. Instead, continue driving at a low speed for a while and apply the brakes several times on dry sections to prevent brake failure and potential accidents.

How to Reset the Maintenance Light on the Envision?

To reset the maintenance light, turn the ignition to ON/RUN with the engine off. Use the up or down buttons on the right side of the steering wheel to navigate to the oil life percentage display. Then, press and hold the round button with a √ symbol in the middle of the right side of the steering wheel until the oil life display changes to 100%. Below is some information about the car maintenance light: 1. Car maintenance refers to the periodic inspection, cleaning, replenishment, lubrication, adjustment, or replacement of certain parts as a preventive measure, also known as car servicing. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, ensure normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down deterioration, and extend the service life. 2. When the vehicle reaches a certain mileage, a specific symbol indicator light will appear on the dashboard to remind the owner to perform maintenance. This indicator is called the car maintenance light. After the vehicle is serviced, the maintenance light will not turn off by itself and requires a specific method to reset it, which is known as maintenance light reset.

What is the Tesla battery model number?

Tesla uses 18650 batteries produced by Panasonic. After the official production of Model 3, the new 21700 battery will replace the 18650 as the new cell. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Ternary lithium battery: The 21700 battery is a ternary lithium battery with a cathode material of lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (NCA). This cylindrical ternary battery currently offers the highest energy density solution for power batteries. Compared to prismatic batteries, although this type of battery has high energy density, its stability is relatively poor, requiring support from an excellent BMS (Battery Management System). 2. Energy density: Under current conditions, the energy density of the 21700 battery system produced is around 300Wh/kg, which is approximately 20% higher than the 250Wh/kg of the original 18650 battery system. Additionally, according to Panasonic's test data on power lithium battery cells, the volumetric energy density of the 21700 battery is significantly higher than that of the 18650-type battery cells. The improvement in energy density of individual cells far exceeds the 20% increase observed after grouping.

What are the advantages of Tesla?

Here are the advantages of Tesla: 1. BMS technology: A two-stage method is adopted to ensure the working balance state of the battery cells. 2. Intelligent driving: Autonomous driving can be said to be the most advanced L2 assisted technology currently available. Below is extended information about Tesla: 1. Electric vehicles: Electric vehicles refer to vehicles that use on-board power as the driving force, use electric motors to drive the wheels, and meet all the requirements of road traffic and safety regulations. Due to their relatively smaller environmental impact compared to traditional vehicles, their prospects are widely optimistic, but the current technology is not yet mature. 2. Pure electric vehicles: Compared to fuel vehicles, the main differences lie in the four major components: drive motor, speed controller, power battery, and on-board charger. Compared to gas stations, it has public ultra-fast charging stations. The quality difference of pure electric vehicles depends on these four major components, and their value also depends on the quality of these four components. The application of pure electric vehicles is also directly related to the selection and configuration of these four major components.

What are the consequences of refueling at private gas stations?

Long-term use can cause irreversible damage to the vehicle's fuel system. Related information is as follows: 1. Fuel classification: Based on the scale of petroleum refining enterprises, they can be divided into "central refineries" and "local refineries." "Local refineries" refer to small-scale regional oil refineries, which mainly produce low-end industrial oils. However, they may also provide fuel products in their respective regions, though the quality of these fuels may not meet standards. In some areas, there are even specialized training courses for "naphtha blending into gasoline," and some "local refineries" use naphtha to blend gasoline, which is then sold to private gas stations for huge profits. 2. The 'Big Three' oil companies: Using such blended fuels can corrode the fuel system, and long-term use may lead to irreversible damage to the vehicle's fuel system. In contrast, the 'Big Three' oil companies, which are part of "central refineries," have mature refining processes and comprehensive testing standards. The best fuel quality in China is generally found at the direct-operated gas stations of the 'Big Three' oil companies.
