Already answered in both posts 11 and again in 17.
That's the place Tesla themselves uses for inspections (when they actually remember to do them before delivering cars to customers)
Thanks. Given the number of Teslas I see on a daily basis, I suppose I assumed that more than one location exists in the Triangle for getting an inspection done so was soliciting additional responses/options.

I feel like you guys are making this into a bigger deal then it needs to be.
ANY location that does inspections can do a Tesla inspection, when they key in the VIN it will only bring up the safety checks and you will be charged only for the safety not emissions inspection.
~120k miles on our Model X, rarely use the same inspection station in Charlotte.

I agree anybody "can" do one- but it's nice to go to one that routinely does them to the point when you pull in they know to ask for the keycard and don't need how the car works explained to them, since they do all the inspections for the actual delivery center.

It means they're idiots.
There's no special equipment used at all.
They only do the safety inspection- lights, tires, wipers, glass, horn.
I can't speak to the Snappy Lube in Cary, I've only used the one off Leesville since that's the one Tesla themselves use.
Just did mine this past Tuesday- when I pulled up the guy immediately asked for the card, and then asked if I had PIN to drive enabled- so they know their stuff.

It sounds like the guy at Jiffy Lube has no idea how to inspect an EV. The inspection only includes the basic headlights, turn signal, brake lights and wiper inspections. My local Valvoline shop did not inspect front wheel bearings and suspension last year but did this year. They lifted the front wheels off the ground and checked for side-to-side movement of the bearings and the suspension.
Go to any repair shop that handles Teslas, so you can check them out and see if you want to go to them for routine things. I use Chapel Hill Tire where I buy tires and routine maintenance for ICE vehicles. For new folks, the inspection needs to be done annually and within 90 days of when you pay the combined property tax and registration fee billed pretty soon (which can be done online, but only if there is an active inspection in the system).

I would think the SC has better things to do with their techs time than vehicle inspections.

They don't!
I believe they do all of their inspections across the street (close to the Dunkin Donuts).
FWIW I've used the jiffy lube at 64 and laura duncan, near the bojangles and toyota dealership, several times and had no issues.
Tesla Service finally got back to me. They recommend Mr. Inspection (you were correct mspisars near DD). They don't take appointments, but assured me they are taking appropriate COVID precautions.
I have not actually driven the car in months to save on insurance, so can't wait to get behind the wheel again!
