In the winter, the mood of many car owners can't get better. Especially those who have purchased new energy vehicles, not only have to face the situation that the battery life of electric vehicles is greatly reduced in winter, but also because the temperature in winter is too low, they are troubled by some seemingly cool but actually crashing functions on the car. So, seriously, it's actually quite difficult for electric car owners in winter.
Since it comes to this topic, today I will introduce you to a few functions that seem cool on the car, but it is a crash in the winter, and friends who want to buy a car may wish to look at it to avoid regretting it after the car is bought home.
One of the most devastating features of a car in winter is the hidden door handle
The design of the "hidden telescopic door handle" was originally a function born by automobile manufacturers in order to reduce the wind resistance of the vehicle and improve the overall appearance of the car.
Especially in some newly launched models, or electric vehicles of new power car brands, the design of hidden door handles is a wide range of assembly, which shows that consumers are particularly favored for the design of hidden door handles.
However, for car owners in the north, if you encounter the winter freezing weather, and your car is equipped with hidden door handles, it is really very devastating.
You know, in the case of minus ten degrees celsius in winter, the hidden door handle may not be able to retract, and at this time, if you are in a hurry to go to work, the mood is really the same as the weather outside to the freezing point.
And in the face of the frozen hidden door handle, you can only find a pot of boiling water, and then frantically pour up, this time again, time delayed, not to mention, people are frozen like a rice dumpling. Therefore, the owners of such hidden door handle models in the north must pay attention, do not let the car become your burden, if possible, we will still park the car in the basement.
But then again, do I have to find a basement to park every day when I buy a car? Besides, in some big cities, there are not so many basements for you to stop. Therefore, once in the winter of the north, the chicken ribs of this type of model equipped with hidden doors are also revealed, and everyone wants to pay attention to it.
Finally, the models I know equipped with hidden door handles are: Tesla Model 3\Model Y, BYD Han EV, Changan UNI-T\UNI-K\UNI-V, Pentium B70, Range Rover Evoque\Range Rover, WEY Mocha, NIO ES8\ES6\EC6, WM EX5\EX6, Xiaopeng P7 and so on. In short, if you are in the cold north, and there is no basement at home, then when buying such hidden door handle models, it is better to consider it, to avoid the door handle in the winter is frozen and even the car cannot be opened.
The second most devastating feature of a car in winter is frameless doors
Earlier said that the hidden door handle can make people collapse when using the car in the winter, and then the second function that makes people collapse in the winter comes again, yes, it is a frameless door.
Why do frameless doors break down in the winter? The reason is that the principle of the frameless door is that when the door is opened, the glass will automatically rise and fall down a little before the door will be opened, and at this time, if it is in the winter in the north, the glass will definitely freeze after a night of freezing and cannot be opened. So, I just got the hidden door handle out, and the door is frozen again, and you say it makes the owner collapse.
In addition, after the frameless car door is frozen, don't think about breaking it hard or pouring hot water on it, it will only dry your glass in minutes, and it is not allowed that your hand will be scratched by the glass. So all you can do is slowly pour it up again with warm water and wait until the glass is almost thawed, then open the door and get in.
And if you are in a hurry to go to work, it is over, and this delay is estimated to be deducted for one day's wages. Therefore, the frameless car door is also difficult for many northern car owners to say "pain" in winter, and the used car owners must know how chicken ribs it is.
The most devastating function of a car in winter is three: folding rearview mirrors
When you've managed to figure out the hidden door handles and melt the ice on the frameless doors, as soon as you sit in the car, the third function that makes people collapse in the winter comes back, yes, it's the folding rearview mirrors.
At present, many models will have a rearview mirror folding function after locking the car, and its purpose is to prevent the vehicle from being rubbed when parked, so the folding rearview mirror function was born.
Originally, this function was very good, but once in the winter in the north, if you encounter a sharp freezing weather, after a night of freezing, the folded rearview mirror is likely to not be opened. And if there is no rearview mirror on both sides of the line of sight to observe, the car can hardly be driven on the road normally, so this function at this time is also a collapse.
In short, if your car has folding rearview mirrors and is in the cold north, then be sure not to fold the rearview mirrors at night. This can prevent the rearview mirror of our car from being frozen and cannot be used, and it can also avoid us from delaying work in the morning in order to open it.
Write at the end
After reading the above three functions that make people collapse with cars in winter, do you think it helps you? Through these three small functions, we can also see that in fact, many things can not only look at the indication, some things have a clever design, can bring us a certain degree of face, but sometimes we also have to learn to look at the problem dialectically.
Why are many middle-aged and middle-aged and elderly people now not very willing to buy cars with a lot of touch screens in the interior? The reason is that there is not a single physical button in the car, they are not easy to use, and the other is that they are worried about the high cost of repairing the car after it is broken. Therefore, today's sharing of these three functions that can make people collapse with cars in winter is also hoped to inspire everyone. After all, the car is more used and driven, rather than taken to see, we must not put the cart before the horse. Finally, I hope this article can help everyone, friends with ideas can also leave a message below to discuss, let's communicate together. (Text/Univision Auto Dazhuo)
