Tesla's reasons for building a factory in China: 1. Benefiting from policy support and cooperation with relevant departments. Tesla signed an investment agreement with the Lingang Management Committee and Lingang Group in Shanghai for a pure electric vehicle project. The agreement includes Tesla building a Gigafactory in the Lingang area, which will integrate R&D, manufacturing, sales, after-sales services, and other functions, along with related collaborations. 2. The Lingang area in Shanghai is one of China's six major automotive industry clusters, home to numerous auto parts and technology R&D companies. Establishing a presence here offers Tesla significant convenience for product production and R&D. Building a factory here can reduce transportation costs and facilitate collaborations with other automakers to promote its products, providing Tesla with considerable advantages. 3. Automotive R&D and manufacturing require a large workforce. Currently, China has a sufficient labor supply, and a vast pool of high-end talent is readily available in Shanghai.

Should the Anti-Slip Function of a Car Be Kept On at All Times?

It should be kept on. Once the car is started, the anti-slip system automatically engages, especially when driving on slippery roads, to maximize safety. Turning Off the Anti-Slip Function: Some car designs allow manual deactivation of the anti-slip system. Turning it off enables activities like drifting. However, on regular roads or during normal driving conditions, average car owners should avoid turning off this system. Electronic Stability Program (ESP): ESP analyzes vehicle movement data from various sensors and sends corrective commands to systems like ABS and EBD to help maintain the car's dynamic balance.

Why do domestic cars mostly use dual-clutch transmissions?

Domestic cars prefer to use dual-clutch transmissions primarily because China's self-developed transmissions are mainly dual-clutch types. The predominance of dual-clutch in China's independently developed transmissions is largely influenced by national policies. Classification of dual-clutch transmissions: Dual-clutch transmissions don't have the torque converter found in traditional automatic transmissions, making them a type of mechanical automatic transmission. Working principle of dual-clutch: By employing a dual multi-plate clutch design, power delivery isn't interrupted during torque transmission, which significantly reduces vehicle fuel consumption. Theoretically, this overturns the traditional notion that automatic transmissions consume more fuel than manual ones.

How often should Motul 7100 engine oil be changed?

From the perspective of the oil itself, changing it every 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers is generally acceptable. However, considering the lifespan of surrounding engine components, the actual replacement interval may vary. Motul 7100 is suitable for: Motul 7100 is suitable for the latest high-power output engines, direct injection engines, and catalytic converters. It features excellent lubrication capabilities, reducing internal engine friction and extending engine life by minimizing wear. Even under extremely harsh climate conditions, it forms a high-strength protective oil film, offering resistance to high temperatures, oxidation, corrosion, and foam formation. For conventional engine oils: Normal city driving: It is recommended that owners change the engine oil approximately every 5,500 kilometers and clean the oil filter every 9,000 kilometers. Only by regularly changing the oil and cleaning the filter can wear on components and oil passage blockages be avoided.

Can the remaining opened coolant still be used?

It can continue to be used, but it is recommended to use the opened coolant within two years. Before use, check whether the coolant has deteriorated. Definition of antifreeze: Antifreeze can prevent the coolant from freezing when parking in cold winter, which may crack the radiator and freeze the engine cylinder block. Function of antifreeze: It plays an anti-corrosion protection role for the components of the cooling system. It prevents scale and avoids reducing the heat dissipation effect of the radiator. It ensures that the engine can work within the normal temperature range. It must have the characteristics of antifreeze, anti-boiling, anti-corrosion, anti-scale, and no foam, and is not affected by seasons and regions.

Why does ETC fail after replacing the windshield?

After replacing the windshield, the ETC becomes invalid because there is a small button on the back of the ETC device. Once the ETC is removed, this button will automatically pop out. When the button pops out, all the information will be reset to zero. This is why the ETC stops working after being removed. You can go to the bank where you originally applied for the ETC to request a new one. The bank will take back the old device and you can reapply for a new one. ETC activation method: Insert and remove the ETC card twice consecutively until the electronic tag screen displays "Bluetooth is on." If it shows "Tag invalid" when inserting and removing twice without attaching the electronic tag, this is normal and does not affect activation. Alternatively, you can directly press the button on the top of the electronic tag to enable Bluetooth. Turn on your phone's Bluetooth, open the corresponding mobile app (usually there is a download QR code on the electronic tag), and enter the device activation interface. Click "Device Connection" and wait patiently for the "Connection successful" prompt. Once connected successfully, upload a photo of the front of your vehicle to complete activation.
