Picked up the car half a year ago, driven over 4000 kilometers. It feels like the power has decreased and the fuel consumption has slightly increased. Could it be that the particulate filter is clogged?

Where is the Subaru's particulate filter located, and will short city commutes of 3-5 km cause it to clog easily?
Is there anyone who has experienced the car cigarette lighter charger not charging the phone when it's not in use, and the battery level actually decreasing instead of increasing?
Just wondering, I really like this car's 8AT and 2.5T. But do you know if it has a particulate filter? And is the engine longitudinal or transverse? Also, how's the sound insulation?
4Has anyone's particle filter gotten clogged? Mine clogs once a year, it's really troublesome. This car doesn't burn it off even on the highway, rarely goes over 2000 RPM, so it basically can't burn off. How do you guys deal with it? Do you just run it in third gear at 6000 RPM to clear it?
5Just got the car 2 days ago. When I picked it up, it showed 435, but it seems like I've only driven less than 300, with a bit over 90 left, so I went to charge it. Is this normal for city driving?
6The rear tail light on the driver's side doesn't light up when I brake. I just replaced the bulb half a month ago, and now it's not lighting up again. The previous inspection said it wasn't a bulb issue. Has anyone else experienced this? What's the problem?
7I 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?
8Does the 2024 Highlander's particulate filter still get clogged? Fellow car enthusiasts, is your particulate filter still getting clogged? I've heard that the materials used now are better, so the chances of clogging are lower. I'm considering just replacing it with an empty shell to avoid future headaches.
9The car has been driven for 5 and a half years, with 94,000 kilometers on it. I've always wanted to switch to 22-inch wheels. Since I haven't really thought about changing cars anytime soon, I want to hear your opinions. Do you think it's still worth spending the money? There shouldn't be any issues driving with 22-inch wheels, right?
10I went to the Toyota 4S store yesterday to check out this car. The exterior and interior are both acceptable. I'm just a bit concerned about one thing: the particulate filter is located in the middle section of the exhaust, which is a bit far from the engine. Theoretically, since it's a naturally aspirated hybrid engine, the operating temperature is lower and the filter is farther from the engine. Wouldn't the particulate filter be more prone to clogging? What do you experts think about this issue?
