Will Borgward's production halt affect after-sales maintenance?

Borgward's production halt will not affect after-sales maintenance. The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine stipulated in the 2005 "Automobile Three Guarantees Policy" that automobile after-sales services must meet users' needs for 10 years of after-sales service after the vehicle production ceases. The solutions are as follows: 1. If "original factory parts" cannot be found, purchase "aftermarket parts". If aftermarket parts are also unavailable, seek parts overseas through various channels. 2. Purchase recycled parts as substitutes: Recycled parts generally refer to parts that can still be used after being disassembled from vehicles that have been totaled in accidents.

Does Tesla's panoramic sunroof get hot in summer?

Cars with panoramic sunroofs tend to have higher interior temperatures compared to those without, as the single layer of sunshade fabric cannot block intense sunlight effectively. Therefore, a Tesla with a panoramic sunroof parked outdoors for extended periods in summer will indeed get hot. Here are some additional tips: 1. How to cool down the interior: To prevent excessive heat buildup, park your Tesla in shaded areas or garages. After opening the doors, ventilate the cabin before entering to achieve faster cooling. 2. Sunroof maintenance tips: Typically, after 2-3 months of use, clean the sunroof's rubber seals or sliding tracks with a cloth dampened in clean water, then wipe dry and apply a small amount of lubricant. Always ensure the sunroof is fully closed when not in use.

How long does it take to break in newly replaced spark plugs?

If the car is replaced with original spark plugs, no break-in period is required as the vehicle can automatically adapt. Below is relevant information on judging spark plug conditions based on appearance color observation: 1. If it appears reddish-brown or rusty: indicates normal spark plug condition. 2. If it shows an oil-soaked appearance: suggests incorrect spark plug gap or excessive fuel supply, with possible short circuit or open circuit in high-voltage wires. 3. If it appears smoke-blackened: indicates incorrect heat range selection for the spark plug or rich fuel mixture, possibly accompanied by oil creeping. 4. If there are deposits between the tip and electrode: when deposits are oily, it proves cylinder oil creeping unrelated to the spark plug; black deposits indicate carbon fouling causing side tracking; gray deposits result from gasoline additives coating the electrodes leading to misfires.
