No inspection sticker...

I have no inspection sticker, no credits for charging, and no charger that was supposed to be delivered last week also no tracking information for the charger if it was ever sent. The car looks cool in front of my house, but it would be nice if I could drive it. I've complained to a few people, but I don't think they know what I'm talking about when I ask for an inspection sticker. Has anyone else had this problem?

Welcome to the board.

I am assuming the inspection sticker is a regulation from your state.  If you let people know which state you are in, someone may be able to help you.  I know California has no inspection stickers (or inspections required for EVs).

Fisker has not provided the ChargePoint credits to One owners yet; likely will be in 2024.  Did you order the Wallbox charger from Fisker?

I don't believe anyone who's received a car in Virginia had it arrive with a state inspection sticker on it.   Are your temporary tags from your own state, or another?   If they're from your state, I expect you can (and would myself) drive to an inspection station as the first order of business.   This is no different than buying a used car out of state - first you get tags, then you get it inspected.   Check with the inspection station beforehand and make an appointment if possible, or give them your name and inquire when you should come in, and they'll be able to corroborate your story in the unlikely event you're pulled over on the way there.

 

@carlh thanks for your reply, I think my issue is that with the amount I paid for this car it should have come with an inspection sticker, also I think it is a requirement in New York to deliver the car with an inspection sticker. 

 

@bradford-j-sussman I was responding from the perspective of you wanting to drive your car and how that might be accomplished without further delay, and that delay is likely to be significant if you wait for Fisker to pick it up, get it inspected, and return it to you.

I certainly agree that Fisker should be delivering cars with the inspection done, but right now they are barely able to get cars out with the temporary tags included.   The requirement to inspect prior to delivery is imposed on car dealers, but I don't know if Fisker is registered as a car dealer there or another type of business.   If they are considered a dealer, you can certainly bring that up when opening a support ticket about this.

@bradford-j-sussman I think you are correct. I lived most of my life in NY and every car purchased from a dealer needs to pass inspection before delivery. Meaning it gets the window sticker before delivery. Only private sales get done by the new owner.

BTW, I'm in AZ now and I'm 6 days away from my temp registration expiring and still no plates. 

Can Fisker get the Virginia stickers without inspection done first?

I got mine with cDOT out of state temp sticker which is valid for 90 days. They have not send me the temp registration tags yet. I assume I need to get the vehicle inspected first to get permanent tags.

In Virginia the safety inspection is required to "operate" a vehicle, but is not required to get the car registered and tags issued, so temporary tags ought not be any problem.  And of course you are allowed to operate the vehicle enough to get the inspection done.  Emission inspections are not required in all areas, but I would imagine that any BEV would not need that in the local areas that do require it.

 

So I got the car inspected. $10. In New York they just do a safety inspection.
