Here is an introduction to the gears of a manual transmission car: 1. First gear: The starting gear, used when the car begins moving from a stop. Another meaning of the starting gear is that it is only used for starting. 2. Second gear: The driving gear, used when the car is moving at low speeds. 3. Third gear: The acceleration gear. From this gear onwards, you can use the throttle to accelerate, increasing the car's speed to a certain level. 4. Fourth gear: The medium-high-speed driving gear. On most city roads, except for elevated roads, this is generally the highest gear used, typically when the vehicle speed is maintained around 60-70 km/h. 5. Fifth gear: The high-speed gear. Used only on elevated roads, highways, etc., generally when the speed is 80 km/h or above. 6. R gear: The reverse gear, used when reversing the car.

Can You Stay in a Tesla While It's Charging?

Theoretically, you can, but for safety reasons, it is not recommended to stay inside the vehicle during high-voltage charging. When charging, the car is connected to a high-voltage interface, and the vehicle's state differs from normal operation. Accidents are unpredictable, and the high voltage used during charging makes it unsafe for occupants. Although the probability is extremely low, vehicles have a certain leakage rate, so it's best to avoid sitting inside while charging for safety. Below is more relevant information: Electric Vehicle Radiation: The radiation from electric vehicles is electromagnetic radiation, similar to that from everyday devices like computers and mobile phones, and falls within safe limits. Actual measurements show that the radiation level in electric vehicles is around 20μT, comparable to that of a hair dryer. Mobile phones emit about 1μT, while pure electric vehicles may even be lower, around 10μT. This measurement was taken at the charging port, where radiation is highest. Inside the car, the reading drops to 0, meaning occupants are completely unaffected by electromagnetic radiation. The health standard for electromagnetic radiation is 100μT, so charging an electric vehicle poses no health risks to people.
