Self-driving to wait in line
Drive to the Shenghua Motor Vehicle Inspection Station at the southeast corner of Wufangqiao, and after entering the gate, drive to the left and queue up in the leftmost of the three new energy channels for inspection.
There are more vehicles in the morning from 8-10 am and fewer in the afternoon.
Working hours: Monday to Friday, 8:00-12:00 am, 1:00-5:00 pm (excluding national statutory holidays).
KASIKI Inspection and Photo
There is no need to call KASIKI staff members. Wait in line until reaching the front, and KASIKI staff will inspect the car, take a photo, and make a carbon copy instantly. However, the photos they take of the car are quite ugly.
Procedure and Number Selection in the Lobby
After parking your car, wait in the lobby, and within approximately 1-2 hours, KASIKI staff will call you to the window to complete the procedure, select a number by machine (if the number 12123 fails or is unsatisfactory, you need to choose on-site) before returning to the window to complete the procedure. After that, you can wait for the license plates and vehicle registration certificate at home.
In step four of the number selection process, “the system will show alternative license plate numbers rolling within 15 seconds”. The scrolling speed is too fast to read the numbers, so just blindly click on the “Stop” button. Within 3 minutes, use the number selection machine to make a 50 out of 1 selection. After the selection, the machine will not give any response, neither displaying the selected number nor outputting a printed ticket. Therefore, be sure to take photos of your selection immediately.
If you go in the morning, you can get your license plate and go home in the afternoon, or you can choose to pay on delivery by Shunfeng. If you go in the afternoon, you may only be able to pay for express delivery. The owner’s ID card is left in the hall and sent with the license plate by express delivery.
Self-installation of license plates
The short studs provided by Tesla are located in the deep pit on the left side of the trunk and are used to install the rear license plate, so be careful not to confuse them. The rear license plate is very thin, and the long studs may damage the paint of the car. If the short studs are lost, you can use the long studs provided by the Vehicle Management Office with two small nuts. Use a Phillips screwdriver to install it, and try to screw it in straight, because once the screw is screwed in, it cannot be screwed out. Finally, you can cover it with a “京” word cap, which is usually difficult to remove.
According to the regulations, you must install the license plate as soon as you receive it, even if your temporary license has not expired yet. If you continue to use the temporary license without installing the license plate, you may be fined 12 points if confronted by a stubborn traffic policeman.
