Here, tool supplier Laser Tools details its lifting-jack pads for several Tesla models, to prevent potential damage.
Tesla models need maintenance just like any other car, according to Laser Tools, and when jacking up – using either a floor jack or a two-post ramp – it can be easy to damage the bodywork or the battery case, even though the correct lifting points have been used.
The tool supplier has introduced two sets of four lifting-jack pads, designed to help prevent any damage on the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y (8439), or the Model S and Model X (8440).
Pushed directly into the lifting points on the underside of the vehicle, the rubber O-ring holds the pad in place while the jack or ramp is then raised up to the pad. The pads feature colour-coded rubber collars – yellow on the 8439 and green on the 8440 – which identifies their location under the car and also acts as a grip to help remove the pad from the vehicle after use.
These are manufactured from sturdy, non-compressible and non-marring acetal plastic (polyoxymethylene), with a rubber Oring. Spare single pads of both types are also available (8460 for Model 3 and Model Y, while 8461 for Model S and Model X).
