1. The Model 3 adopts an all-aluminum body structure, which is lighter compared to traditional steel bodies, aiming to offset the additional weight from the heavy battery pack as much as possible, thereby enhancing performance and increasing range. 2. The front of the vehicle is made of high-strength steel to withstand common rear-end collisions. On both sides of the front longitudinal crash beams, there are sections of curved ultra-high-strength steel structures, likely designed to handle small overlap collisions such as 25% offset impacts. 3. The sides and rear fenders are constructed from low-carbon steel, which has lower strength and softer hardness, making repairs more convenient for minor incidents like daily scratches. Although it doesn't feature an all-aluminum construction, the Model 3 still manages to keep its weight between 1.6-1.7 tons. With satisfactory range performance, the vehicle's weight hasn't increased significantly compared to gasoline cars of similar size.

How to Steer the Wheel for a 90-Degree Turn?

Before entering the 90-degree turn, keep the car as far away from the turning point marker pole as possible within the lane lines and proceed slowly. When the center of the small triangular window on the front side window near the turning point aligns with the turning point, turn the steering wheel three full turns toward the turning point until it reaches the limit. After passing the turn, straighten the wheel when the car's front is aligned. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Method: Keep the right side of the car close to the outer right-angle edge line while moving forward. When the middle of the left and right front door triangular windows aligns with the inner and outer right-angle lines, turn the steering wheel fully to the left or right. Straighten the wheel when the car is aligned. 2. Resistance: Note that the resistance during straight driving differs from that during a turn. During a low-speed 90-degree turn, steering the wheel increases resistance, which may cause the car to stop. Therefore, slightly release the clutch during the turn. After completing the turn, the speed will increase, at which point lightly press the clutch to reduce the speed.

What Are the Reasons for High Fuel Consumption in a Car?

The main reasons for high fuel consumption in a car are: 1. Poor driving habits of the driver; 2. Wear and tear of engine-related components; 3. Faulty oxygen sensor; 4. Low tire pressure or severe tire wear; 5. Incorrect fuel grade, clogged fuel lines, or improperly gapped spark plugs. Precautions for refueling include: 1. Use automotive gasoline; inappropriate fuel entering the fuel system may damage the fuel system and engine; 2. Do not use gasoline containing methanol or alcohol; 3. Avoid spilling fuel on the paint surface to prevent damage; 4. If the fuel door is frozen and cannot be opened, gently push or tap the fuel door to remove ice and open it; 5. Prevent excessive fuel pressure from causing spraying; 6. Insert the fuel nozzle deep into the fuel tank to avoid overflow or spillage, which could lead to fire and explosion.

Can Seat Belts in Cars Be Replaced?

Seat belts in cars can be replaced. Seat belts need to be replaced under the following circumstances: 1. The internal retractor spring of the seat belt has aged, causing the seat belt to become too loose or fail to tighten promptly. If the seat belt is not replaced, in an emergency, excessive looseness may allow the occupant to slip out from under the seat belt, resulting in serious injuries. 2. If the seat belt has once endured a strong tensile load during use, even if it appears undamaged, it should be replaced and not continued to be used. 3. If the car has been involved in a collision that caused the airbags to deploy, the seat belts must be replaced promptly. Additional Information: While the car is in motion, seat belts play a crucial role. In the event of a collision, seat belts securely restrain the occupants in their seats, working in conjunction with the cushioning protection of airbags to significantly reduce the impact-related injuries.
