Some shops are dumb. I had to get my Tesla inspected for the first time and the shop that could fit me in tried to charge me for an emissions inspection...

That’s another level of either dumb, or being pieces of shit.

Actually, it’s probably both.

That’s because the muffler bearings can burn out on a Tesla, and that’ll fry your piston return springs. Once that happens, your seals will go, and you’ll be out of emission fluid.

The conversation was pretty dumb. I told the guy I would pay for it if he could tell me what he was going to inspect for the emissions. He didn't have an answer haha.

They charged me another $500 to fill my tires with premium air.

That’s what happens when you use too much NOS in a Tesla…”DANGER TO MANIFOLD!!!”

Out of curiosity, why not? Sure it's exempt, but so is my car and I still have to pay for it. I drive it less than 5k a year, so I'm always exempt. But I have to pay to have the exemption sticker.

EVs do not need an emissions inspection. I also have a Tesla and my inspection station knows to only do safety. It does not need an exemption sticker either.

Interesting. It does make sense, but someone like me would be like sweet, lets put a gas engine in it then.

My Tesla does 0-60 in 3.4 seconds. There's no need for a gas engine haha.

There are many reasons for gas engine. The infrastructure is not fully there yet, there will be break downs that it's easier to bring a gas can versus electricity with.

With that said, yes electricity is the future. And I'm sure people who bought a car in the beginning said the same about a horse.
