Tesla battery lifespan, according to official data, is between 450,000 to 600,000 kilometers. In reality, electric vehicle batteries are not that fragile. Domestic policies stipulate that electric vehicles should provide an 8-year or 150,000-kilometer warranty for the battery. During the warranty period, the battery's degradation should not exceed 30%, meaning that within the manufacturer's specified warranty period, owners do not need to worry about the battery's lifespan at all. Below is relevant information: 1. Currently, electric vehicle batteries include nickel-metal hydride batteries (mainly used in Toyota's non-plug-in hybrid vehicles), lead-acid batteries (lifespan under three years), and lithium batteries (including lithium iron phosphate batteries and ternary lithium batteries). 2. Currently, pure electric vehicles mostly use lithium batteries, with BYD and Tesla as examples. BYD uses lithium iron phosphate batteries, which have a long lifespan, good safety, and high charge-discharge rates, but the energy density of the battery is relatively low, meaning the same range requires more battery cells, increasing the vehicle's weight and cost. Tesla uses ternary lithium batteries, which have better consistency, more mature production technology, and higher energy density, allowing the same number of battery cells to store more electricity. 3. In terms of battery lifespan, lithium iron phosphate batteries can achieve over 2,000 cycles. If cycled once a day, they can last 5-6 years. One cycle refers to the battery being fully charged and then completely discharged.

Having driven a Tesla Model 3 for three years, the battery lifespan has proven more durable than expected. The official standard warranty covers 8 years or 120,000 miles. After driving 50,000 kilometers, my battery health remains at 96%. For daily use, I primarily rely on slow charging to minimize thermal stress by avoiding frequent fast charging. Deep discharges are rare, with my typical usage range between 20-80%. Temperature plays a significant role; during summer, I park in a garage to protect the battery from overheating. The average degradation rate is about 1-2% per year, potentially leaving 80% capacity after a decade—still sufficient for daily commutes. Maintenance is straightforward: a monthly home charge for balancing significantly extends battery life. Practical experience shows that proper usage ensures long-term reliability and peace of mind.

Is it okay to put 200 kilograms in a sedan trunk overnight?

Placing 200 kilograms in a sedan trunk overnight will not damage the vehicle. Precautions for loading items in a car trunk: 1. No flammable or explosive items: Flammable and explosive items are strictly prohibited in the trunk, especially during summer when temperatures are high, as they pose significant safety hazards. Additionally, it is advisable to equip the car with a fire extinguisher for emergencies to ensure better driving safety. 2. Avoid storing valuables: Many car owners are accustomed to keeping valuables in their cars, which is very risky. Storing valuables in the trunk makes them susceptible to theft and may also cause some damage to the vehicle. Therefore, it is not recommended to keep valuables in the car trunk to prevent accidents. 3. Perishable items should not be stored: Many people treat their cars as a second home, leading to an accumulation of items, including perishable fruits or vegetables. Over time, these items can rot, emit odors, and become difficult to remove, potentially causing corrosion.

Why Was the Spirior Discontinued?

The Spirior entered the Chinese market and achieved localized production as early as 2009. However, since the Accord had already established a strong reputation in China, most consumers preferred the Accord over the Spirior when choosing a Honda mid-size sedan. By the time of its discontinuation in 2017, the Spirior's monthly sales were less than 2,000 units, which was less than one-sixth of the Accord's sales, making its discontinuation an expected outcome. Here is some relevant information about the Spirior: 1. Positioning: Honda's initial intention in launching the Spirior was commendable—offering two distinct models with different attributes (family-oriented and sporty) based on the same platform, which undoubtedly provided consumers with more choices. 2. Reasons for discontinuation: The primary reason for the Spirior's poor sales was its product positioning. Additionally, its reputation was not strong enough to compete with rivals like the Accord and Camry in the same segment, making its low sales quite predictable. Lastly, the use of an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission in the mid-to-high trim models also contributed to the Spirior's lackluster sales performance.

Does a car that is rarely driven still need maintenance every six months?

Even if a car is rarely driven, it still requires maintenance every six months. Below is a detailed introduction to car maintenance items: 1. Engine oil and oil filter replacement: This primarily involves the maintenance of the lubrication system, whose main function is to effectively lubricate various components of the car engine to prevent excessive wear. The oil filter's role is to remove various impurities from the engine oil, ensuring the normal operation of the lubrication system. The oil filter should be replaced along with the engine oil during an oil change. Under normal circumstances, a car should undergo maintenance every 5,000 kilometers. 2. Air filter replacement: The air filter's function is to filter the air before it enters the cylinders, removing impurities, dust, sand, and other foreign particles. The cleaning and maintenance of the air filter depend on the usage environment. The gasoline filter is typically replaced every 20,000 kilometers. 3. Spark plug replacement: Spark plugs are consumable parts and should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers. Additionally, components such as brake fluid, transmission oil, battery, throttle body, fuel injectors, and brake pads are all part of the inspection items during routine maintenance, and their maintenance depends on usage conditions.

Which is of a higher grade, A3B4 or A5B5?

Engine oils A3B4 and A5B5 are two testing and certification standards for automotive lubricants established by the European automobile manufacturing industry, with A5B5 being the highest level of this certification standard. Specifically: 1. A: Refers to gasoline engines for passenger cars. 2. B: Refers to diesel engines for passenger cars. 3. The number: Indicates quality, where a higher number represents better quality and a higher grade. Relevant information about engine oil is as follows: 1. Engine oil: It is the lubricating oil used in engines, composed of base oil and additives. 2. Function: With a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³), engine oil serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption and buffering for the engine. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of the car. Base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and improve the deficiencies in base oil performance, endowing it with certain new properties, making them an important part of lubricating oil.

What to Do If the Sagitar Shakes After Wading and Then Returns to Normal?

If the vehicle shakes after wading through water, do not drive it. Take it to a repair facility as soon as possible for inspection and treatment to identify and eliminate the cause of the shaking. The reasons for shaking after wading are as follows: 1. The engine's electrical components or wiring harness may have been affected by water ingress, leading to signal loss or distortion, which causes the engine to shake. During repair, inspect and confirm the faulty components, then process or replace them to resolve the issue. 2. If shaking occurs after wading, it is possible that water has entered the engine cylinders, causing damage to mechanical components such as the engine connecting rods. If not replaced, the deformed connecting rods may eventually break, leading to extensive damage to engine block components. The repair costs will be significantly higher in such cases.
