Generally speaking, during the third car maintenance, spark plugs, engine oil, and the three filters (oil filter, cabin air filter, and engine air filter) should be replaced. Depending on the vehicle condition and the requirements of different maintenance shops or 4S stores, there may be some variations in the third maintenance items. Below are some relevant details: 1. Typically, the first maintenance can be performed when the car has traveled 3,000-5,000 kilometers or after six months of use. The first maintenance is relatively simple, mainly involving a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle after the break-in period, including the brakes, tires, etc., to ensure it is in good condition. 2. When the car has traveled about 8,000 kilometers or after one year of use, the second maintenance can be performed. The main tasks of the second maintenance include changing the engine oil and oil filter, and topping up windshield washer fluid and coolant. Additionally, the second maintenance includes inspections of the car's engine, chassis, and transmission. 3. When the car has traveled about 15,000-20,000 kilometers or after two years of use, the third maintenance can be performed. The main tasks of the third maintenance also involve the inspection and replacement of wear-prone components, including changing the engine oil and oil filter, replacing spark plugs, and inspecting the car's braking system, transmission, and engine.

Is the R8 the Only Supercar in BBA?

The Audi R8 is the only supercar in BBA (Benz, BMW, Audi). Others like the BMW i8 and Mercedes-Benz SLS have already been discontinued, while models such as the Mercedes GTR only offer mid-range performance. Therefore, the Audi R8 is generally considered the only supercar in BBA. The Audi R8 is a mid-engine, two-seater sports car introduced by the German automaker Audi in 2006, with a top speed of 316 km/h. It is Audi's first mass-produced mid-engine supercar, developed on the Lamborghini Gallardo platform, combining Audi's winning experience from various motorsport events, cutting-edge technology, and a groundbreaking design that defies convention. The Audi R8 is Audi's first mass-produced mid-engine supercar, built on the Lamborghini Gallardo platform. Its powerful V8 and V10 engines, full-time all-wheel-drive system, and Audi's all-aluminum space frame structure give the R8 outstanding dynamic performance. Performance: The mid-mounted 420-horsepower V8 engine in the Audi R8, combined with quattro and direct fuel injection technology, delivers 309 kW of power. This enables the new Audi R8 to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds, with a maximum engine speed of 8,250 rpm, peak torque of 430 Nm, and a top speed of 301 km/h. Exterior: The Audi R8 has a width of 1,900 mm, with length and height measuring 4,430 mm and 1,250 mm, respectively. The long wheelbase of 2,650 mm provides ample space for the two-seater cockpit. The R8's body sits low to the ground, with a muscular rear end and a seamless transition between the doors and side air vents. Behind the doors, between the wheel arches and the roof, large air intakes ensure sufficient airflow for the V8 engine's intake and cooling. The front grille of the Audi R8 features black plastic strips instead of the original silver chrome trim. Chassis: The Audi R8 uses an aluminum-magnesium frame for high structural strength. Vacuum pressure bonding serves as the load-bearing element, integrating aluminum sheets into the frame to enhance rigidity while significantly reducing weight. The cockpit fully reflects the close relationship between the new Audi R8 and motorsport. Inspired by racing cars, the driver's seat and dashboard form a unified, independent control platform.

Can Tesla Cars Drive on Highways?

Tesla cars can drive on highways. However, before driving on the highway, it's essential to check the vehicle's range to avoid getting stranded. Make sure to clearly understand the range and then plan the next service area accordingly. This way, you can monitor the battery level and prevent sudden shutdowns on the highway. Below is additional information about Tesla's battery lifespan: 1. Tesla is a high-end electric vehicle, and its lithium-ion batteries typically last up to 8 years without issues, as they come with an 8-year warranty. With current advanced technology, lithium-ion batteries have a long lifespan. 2. Based on lithium battery warranty principles, the battery retains 80% capacity within 800 charge cycles and 50% within 2000 cycles. Assuming a Tesla battery provides 500 kilometers per charge and is charged once a week (about 60 charges per year), 2000 charge cycles would allow the battery to last over 30 years. If well-maintained, even after 30 years, the battery could still provide 250 kilometers per charge, which is sufficient for non-long-distance travel.

Why does neutral coasting occur in Subject 3?

The reason for neutral coasting in Subject 3 is: The car is not engaged in any forward gear while moving, but remains in the neutral position, using inertia to coast. After the car's speed decreases, a higher gear is engaged to gradually accelerate and increase speed. Precautions for the Subject 3 test are as follows: 1. Lane change: When the student hears "Please change lanes," the turn signal should be activated, and the steering wheel can only be turned after the signal has been on for 3 seconds. 2. Straight-line driving: Students should try to look as far ahead as possible to maintain a straight path. Once straight-line driving begins, the steering wheel should not be turned arbitrarily, nor should the solid lane line be crossed. 3. Slow down: When passing through crosswalks, school zones, bus stops, or straight intersections, students should lightly press the brake pedal to slow down.
