It is due to prolonged exposure to sunlight and rain, or simply reaching the end of its service life over time, leading to aging. Direct replacement is recommended. Below is an introduction to the usage and maintenance of automotive sealing strips: Method for Using Adhesive: Apply the adhesive evenly to the separated area, following a top-to-bottom sequence in a gradual manner. Then, manually align the automotive sealing strip to its proper position and press firmly. The strip will bond after a short while. Causes of Strip Detachment: Door sealing strip detachment is mostly caused by aging. Regular maintenance should be observed, and care should be taken with the force used when opening and closing doors to avoid excessive force, which can easily damage the strips. After driving in the rain or washing the car, wipe dry any moisture in the door gaps to prevent corrosion from acidic rainwater or detergent residue. If aging or cracking is noticed, the strips should be replaced promptly.

What kind of light is the yellow light?

Yellow light refers to xenon headlights with a color temperature of 3000K. Below is an introduction to xenon headlights: 1. Introduction: Xenon headlights, also known as HID (High-Intensity Discharge) headlights. They replace traditional tungsten filaments with xenon gas encapsulated in quartz tubes, providing higher color temperature and more focused illumination. Xenon headlights generate an arc of light by activating xenon gas with high-voltage current, enabling continuous light emission between two electrodes. 2. Structure: HID xenon headlights generally consist of a lamp head and an electronic ballast (also called a stabilizer or voltage regulator). 3. Principle: The illumination principle of xenon headlights involves filling a VV-CUT ultraviolet-resistant quartz glass tube with various chemical gases, predominantly xenon and iodides, and then using a booster to instantly increase the vehicle's 12V DC voltage to 23,000V.

Can a Spare Tire Be Used on the Road?

A car's spare tire can be used normally on the road. Here is an introduction to car spare tires: 1. Introduction: It is a backup tire prepared for the car. Once a tire bursts or has a problem, the spare tire can replace it in time, preventing the car from breaking down midway. 2. Types: Full-size spare tire, non-full-size spare tire, and run-flat spare tire. 3. Usage: Specialized stores have strict requirements for the rotation of original tires, and spare tires are even less suitable for rotation. Tire rotation is a balance of wear on different parts, and cross-rotation is no longer recommended. Front-to-rear rotation also has issues with uneven wear. Since spare tires have different wear patterns, using them in rotation can increase safety risks.

Tesla Not Allowed in the Workplace?

Tesla is not allowed in the workplace. Below is a detailed introduction to Tesla: 1. Exterior: Its rear doors feature a futuristic falcon-wing design. Additional radar and cameras can recognize pedestrians and road signs, enabling functions such as automatic parking, highway autopilot, and traffic jam follow. The Model X combines the spaciousness of an MPV, the advantages of an SUV, and the benefits of an electric vehicle. 2. Performance: Powered by a high-performance electric motor, it is equipped with a denser 90kWh battery pack, achieving a 0-96 km/h acceleration time of under 5 seconds.

Is it dangerous to drive on the highway after repairing a tire?

Driving on the highway after repairing a tire is very dangerous. It is not advisable to drive on the highway after a tire repair. Below is an introduction about tire repair: 1. Introduction: The principle of car tire repair is to use glue for vulcanization (the bonding of rubber relies on vulcanization, including the combination of the tire tread and the tire body), so that the repair patch and the tire rubber layer fuse to compensate for the hole. 2. Usage: Cold repair glue can bond the patch and the tire without heating to initiate the vulcanization reaction, so when repairing a tire, more glue is not necessarily better—just the right amount is sufficient. Hot repair is necessary because non-cold repair glue is used, and heating must be applied during the repair process to promote vulcanization, which is done using an iron-like tool for heating.

Can a smaller spare tire be used without causing deviation?

A spare tire that is smaller in size should not be used even if it does not cause deviation, as it poses risks such as tire blowouts. Below is an introduction to spare tires: 1. Introduction: A spare tire is a backup tire prepared for a car. In case a tire blows out or encounters a problem, the spare tire can be promptly used as a replacement, preventing the car from breaking down midway. 2. Types: Full-size spare tires, non-full-size spare tires, and run-flat spare tires. 3. Usage: Specialized stores have strict requirements for the rotation of original tires, and spare tires are even less suitable for tire rotation. Tire rotation is intended to balance wear on different parts, and it is no longer recommended to rotate tires from left to right. Rotating tires from front to back also presents issues of uneven wear. Due to different wear patterns, involving a spare tire in rotation will increase safety hazards.

At what percentage of battery degradation can a Tesla battery be replaced?

Tesla batteries can be replaced when they degrade to 70% of their original capacity. Tesla battery usage duration: Maximum ten years, minimum three years. The capacity of a Tesla battery is 83Kw per hour, with a density of 200wh per Kg, and a range of 480 kilometers. Tesla batteries can generally be charged and discharged 300 to 500 times. It is best to partially discharge the lithium battery rather than fully discharge it, and to avoid frequent full discharges whenever possible. Once the battery leaves the production line, the clock starts ticking. Whether you use it or not, the lifespan of a lithium battery is only two to three years. Pure electric vehicles: Compared to fuel-powered vehicles, the main differences lie in the four major components: the drive motor, speed controller, power battery, and onboard charger. Compared to gas stations, they are served by public ultra-fast charging stations. The quality differences of pure electric vehicles depend on these four major components, and their value is also determined by the quality of these four components. The applications of pure electric vehicles are also directly related to the selection and configuration of these four major components.
