I remember Tesla's first car was the Roadster, officially launched in 2008. At that time, I was getting interested in the automotive industry. The Roadster, based on a modified Lotus Elise, realized the dream of a high-performance electric sports car. Equipped with lithium-ion batteries, its 0-60 acceleration outperformed many gasoline cars, with a range exceeding 240 miles, challenging the prevailing perceptions of electric vehicles at the time. Released against the backdrop of the financial crisis, it nonetheless ignited the spark of an environmental and technological revolution. Looking back now, the Roadster not only marked the beginning of Tesla's glory but also propelled the development of the entire electric vehicle market, with models like the Model S and subsequent vehicles building on this foundation. Every time I see a Tesla on the road, I feel that decision made in 2008 truly changed the world.

Does exceeding the maintenance mileage by a few hundred kilometers have any impact?

Yes. Exceeding the oil change mileage can lead to reduced oil fluidity and changes in viscosity properties, resulting in insufficient lubrication for the engine, increased wear, and higher fuel consumption. Choosing high-quality oil (such as full synthetic or imported GT oil) can offer better cost-performance and extend the maintenance interval. Additional details are as follows: Car maintenance considerations: Besides checking the tires, it's essential to pay attention to the oil viscosity during seasonal maintenance. It is recommended that car owners consider seasonal changes when selecting engine oil, as oil viscosity varies with temperature—higher in winter and lower in summer. Other tips: In hotter regions or seasons, opt for oil with slightly higher viscosity. Conversely, during colder weather, use oil with lower viscosity.

Is It Normal to Get Worse at Reverse Parking with Practice?

It is normal. Usually, practicing 7 or 8 times a day is sufficient, with the main focus on mastering the key points. Right reverse parking: Adjust the seat and backrest after getting in the car, adjust the left and right rearview mirrors to the lowest position, ideally to see a bit of the rear wheels. Fasten the seatbelt. First, pull the car to an appropriate position, shift into reverse gear, gently lift the clutch, and slowly reverse. When the lower edge of the left rearview mirror touches the control line, turn the steering wheel fully to the right. After turning the wheel fully to the right, look at the left rearview mirror: When you see the corner of the parking space in the left rearview mirror, straighten the steering wheel (if the left front door handle has already touched the line, do not straighten the wheel and reverse directly). After straightening the steering wheel: Continue reversing until the left front door handle touches the left parking line, then turn the steering wheel fully to the right again. When you see the corner of the left baseline of the parking space, straighten the steering wheel: Wait until the car body is vertical and parallel, adjust the body to align it, then look at the left rearview mirror. When the lower edge of the left rearview mirror shell touches the front line of the parking space, stop the car.

Does Giving Gas Before Releasing the Clutch Damage the Car?

Giving gas before releasing the clutch can damage the car. Here are some situations regarding pressing the accelerator before releasing the clutch: Poor car condition: If the car is too old, it may lack sufficient power, and since it's already old, it might not matter much if it's pushed harder. In this case, for better acceleration, you might choose a more aggressive start, which means giving gas before releasing the clutch. In a hurry: Manual transmission cars have a characteristic of being prone to stalling. Especially when in a hurry, often the left foot releases too quickly, leading to stalling. Therefore, in such situations, you can choose to press the accelerator first to raise the RPM, then release the clutch. This not only ensures a quick start but also reduces the chance of stalling. Additionally, when operating this way, the RPM drops more slowly, making it easier to shift gears. Starting on a long, steep slope: Mountain roads are not only steep but also narrow, especially in small villages. On such roads, you often have to stop to let the opposite vehicle pass first.

What Causes White Smoke?

Common causes: Engine temperature too low: Some diesel fuel does not burn and turns into oil vapor, which is discharged from the exhaust pipe along with the exhaust gas. Water in the fuel system: There is water in the fuel or combustion chamber, which is heated into steam by the heat released during combustion in the cylinder and discharged from the exhaust pipe. Injection timing too late: Due to late injection timing, the cylinder temperature has already dropped when fuel is injected, causing some diesel fuel to turn into oil vapor without burning. Poor fuel injector atomization: Poor atomization leads to incomplete combustion of diesel fuel, which mixes with high-temperature exhaust gas from normally operating cylinders in the exhaust pipe. Low cylinder pressure: Some diesel fuel turns into oil vapor without burning and is discharged from the exhaust pipe.
