Tesla is an American electric vehicle and clean energy company that manufactures and sells electric cars, solar panels, and energy storage systems. Headquartered in Palo Alto, California, the company was founded on July 1, 2003, by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, who named it "Tesla Motors" in honor of the physicist Nikola Tesla. Elon Musk joined the company in 2004 and led its Series A funding round. Here is some relevant information: Development History: Tesla's initial new energy vehicle startup team mainly came from Silicon Valley, adopting an IT philosophy to build cars rather than following the traditional approach of Detroit-based automakers. As a result, Tesla's venture into electric vehicles is often seen as a story of a Silicon Valley upstart challenging the Detroit giants. Logo Culture: On February 5, 2017, foreign media (VentureBeat) reported that for automakers, the car logo is as important as the car itself. Logo design thus becomes a crucial task. Tesla's T-shaped logo, which has gained widespread recognition in recent years, is not only the initials of inventor Nikola Tesla's name but also carries deeper meanings. Tesla CEO Elon Musk explained on his Twitter that this stylized "T" is also a hint at the company's products, stating that the T logo represents the cross-section of an electric motor.

Why Does a Tesla Make a Buzzing Sound After Parking?

Tesla may produce a buzzing sound after parking, primarily due to the following two reasons: 1. The sound comes from the air conditioning fan rotation. Additionally, Tesla is equipped with a radiator and coolant to dissipate heat for the battery and motor. The working fan of the air conditioning compressor operates similarly to the fan in fuel-powered vehicles that continues running after the car is parked. 2. Moreover, it could be the vehicle's pedestrian warning sound. This sound is mainly designed to alert nearby pedestrians during reversing without the need to honk the horn. Since electric vehicles are very quiet, unlike fuel-powered cars that have engine noise, this feature ensures pedestrians are aware of the moving vehicle.

Is It Necessary to Warm Up the Car in Winter?

It is necessary to warm up the car in winter. After idling for about a minute, you should drive slowly at low speed. The reasons for warming up the car in winter are as follows: 1. After the car has been parked for a period of time, the engine oil flows back into the oil pan at the bottom of the engine. Therefore, when starting the engine, the upper part of the engine is without oil and lacks lubrication. It takes about 30 seconds after starting the engine for the oil pump to deliver oil to components such as the pistons, connecting rods, and crankshaft. 2. After the vehicle is started, the lubrication oil has not yet been fully supplied during idling, making this the period when wear is most likely to occur. Most wear on engine components happens within the first three minutes after a cold start. Therefore, in winter, especially during severe cold, the idling warm-up time should not be too long—about one minute is sufficient. After one minute, the driver can proceed to warm up the car by driving slowly at low speed or idling.
