I've gone through all the posts about energy consumption on the forum. I just want to ask, the energy consumption displayed on the car's screen should include the power usage from the air conditioning and TV, right?! It's not just the consumption from the driving system (motor), is it?

What is the real energy consumption of the Model S 100D Long Range version? How many kWh per 100 km? Please share some images! I currently own a Model 3 Long Range with an energy consumption of 12.4 kWh per 100 km. I'm planning to buy a new Model S. Any advice from experts would be appreciated, mainly considering range and comfort!

I just bought a second-hand car and after driving it for less than 1000 kilometers, it consumed 2.5 liters of engine oil (it's a 5-cylinder car registered in 2014). I'm not sure if any of you experience this oil consumption. Should I switch the engine oil from Shell 0W-40? What should I do, any advice for a budget-friendly solution?

Does no one really care about the car's width? Including the side mirrors, it's 2.4 meters, and when folded, it's still 2.2 meters. This width feels more intimidating than the 5.68-meter length to me. When parking outside, with a length of 5.68 meters, at worst, you can let it stick out by 30 or 40 centimeters, and passing drivers can just steer a bit to avoid it. But a width of 2.4 meters really makes parking a big issue. Perpendicular parking spaces are the most common, and a standard parking space, including the boundary lines, is 2.4 meters, which basically means it takes up the entire space. If there's a car on the right side, parking this car to the left of it makes it almost impossible for the other person to get in. If you park on the right side of another car, it might be slightly better; at most, the other person might have to move the car out a bit to let passengers get in from the passenger side. Of course, if you fold the mirrors before parking, you can give the neighboring car an extra 20 centimeters of space, but most people probably find that hard to manage.

At extremely low speeds, there's a crisp sound from the relay contact when kinetic energy recovery engages. In creep mode, it occurs just when the brake is applied during low-speed crawling. Without creep mode, it happens when you release the accelerator at low speeds. It's just one crisp sound, coming from near or in front of the pedal. The sound is very faint, and can't be heard with the windows open, music playing, or on a bumpy road. This is with the first launch of the dual-motor. Has anyone else encountered this issue, and can it be fixed?

I recently went on a highway long trip, and after just letting the car sit for a day, I'm experiencing delayed acceleration. When I press the gas pedal, I can hear a swooshing sound from the chassis. Is it clogged again? Anyway, the instantaneous fuel consumption has increased, which is really frustrating. Has anyone else experienced this? How did you solve it?

I just bought a car and feel like I really can't drive it [facepalm]. I accidentally rev it too high. How many RPMs do you usually shift at? Before looking at the owner's manual, I was shifting at around 5000 RPM. Now my display shows an average fuel consumption of 10.4, and after driving just over 200 kilometers, the fuel tank is empty. My goodness 🤦, I'm refilling the tank once a week now. So should I shift when the dashboard suggests an upshift? Can I just shift from fourth or fifth gear to neutral when stopping at a red light, or is it better to downshift to third gear before going to neutral?

The Jeep 2500 has been gone for many years. Can't they just transfer the interior from the 212? Even if there are no designers, they could at least copy it, right? [Facepalm] I've always liked this car, but every time I'm about to change cars, the interior makes me reconsider.

I just bought a Subaru Forester 2.5 naturally aspirated. Is a fuel consumption of 13 with the air conditioning on normal? I would like to ask for advice from experienced users.

Since I got the car, I’ve driven it a few times on intercity highways and elevated city roads. At first, fuel consumption was quite high — around 12 L/100 km — but after some regular use, it dropped to 7.8. It hasn’t gone any lower since then, even though I’ve only driven about 500 km in less than a month. Honestly, every time I refuel, it stings a little 😅. This is my first car, so I don’t have much to compare it to, but driving feels smooth overall. Once you hit 100 km/h, tire noise becomes noticeable, but throttle response during overtaking is pretty decent. The thing that annoyed me most is the infotainment system. There’s no built-in CarPlay, so I bought an external adapter. While it technically works, Bluetooth is unstable, and the navigation voice won’t come through the car speakers. On top of that, the system randomly activates and starts saying weird things, and the voice assistant sometimes greets you with “Hi” and other times with “I’m here” — honestly, it feels awkward. I’m not sure if all Japanese brands do this, or just this one. As for interior space, the rear seat area is quite good, but the new car smell is still strong, so I’ve thrown in a bunch of charcoal bags to absorb it. Overall, I’m satisfied for a first car, but there are definitely things that could be better.

I bought a used Nissan Sunny in 2018—it was a 2015 model, and I was the second owner. I paid 160,000 EGP for it. When I got it, the odometer showed 60,000 km, but it was obvious they had tampered with it—just by looking at the tires and other details. Still, at the time I just needed a car to get me around. The first year with the car was honestly a pleasant surprise. Fuel consumption was excellent—even with a bit of aggressive driving, it was doing about 6L/100km. That was after I cleaned the injectors, changed the spark plugs, and washed the sensors. After that, the throttle response was smoother and performance improved. One time, I managed 700 km on a single tank—but that was rare. Usually, it did just over 600. Interestingly, it consumed more fuel on the highway than in the city, which is a bit odd but shows it's built more for short urban trips. Driving it was light and smooth. The steering was soft but had a decent return, the suspension was soft but not too floaty, and even though the car is lightweight, it felt more planted than I expected. Honestly, it’s one of the most comfortable cars I’ve ever driven. The interior space is amazing. From the outside, it looks small, but inside it feels like a full-size sedan. Nissan clearly prioritized passenger space—they shrunk the hood and dashboard, which is great, but comes at a cost. The insulation is terrible—you hear road and wind noise like you're riding a tuk-tuk. And the bodywork is so thin, it feels like you could crush it with your hands. Put your foot in the wrong spot, and it feels like you'll puncture the floor. There were also a few issues: the stereo was poor, I had to replace the A/C motor, and I still get some strange noises. But in the end, I see the Nissan Sunny as a very basic car that offers comfort, space, and ease of use—but at the expense of build quality, sound insulation, and overall sturdiness. If you're on a tight budget and just need something to get you through your daily drives without asking much, it’s a logical choice. But if you’re looking for luxury or durability... look elsewhere.
