If you register a Tesla Model Y AWD vehicle in the state of Georgia, how do vehicle inspections work? Are you allowed to skip an inspection completely since it’s 100% electric (for plug-in hybrid or gas vehicles, inspections are required)?

Beside smog test, some states require safety inspections like brakes and lighting checks, so EVs there might still need to get an annual validation.

We do not have safety inspections in Georgia. If you had an ICE car you would need an emissions inspection, but I think this does not start until the car is 3-years (?) old. EVs do not need such inspections.

Wish that was the case in NC. EVs don't need emissions test obviously, but we still have to report annually for safety inspections (looking forward to arguing about using pucks to lift the car). And we get to pay an extra $179/yr with registration to (overpay) for not paying gasoline road taxes...

I think some legislatures may be over-reacting to the loss of the gas tax revenue in the increased EV registration fees we’re seeing. I just read that new EV sales made up 7.5% of total new US car sales in 2023. I think the oil and gas industry has taken notice of this increase and will lobby those legislatures in their favor.
Yes, it's been documented some states have overreacted, some have not/under reacted and various in between. It will sort itself out, but net road tax revenue will probably increase..."they" never miss an opportunity to add yet another revenue source.
