Bro has never worked on a car in his life…I can’t believe you’d seriously go through this much trouble to jack up a car without the right equipment to avoid a shop doing so with the right equipment.
It’s just a car. It has four very well marked jack points. Tell the shop to use them, then go about your business.
Me? Lol. Thanks sport, I’m honored you chose to necropost this gem of a thread for your 7th contribution to the site.Bro has never worked on a car in his life…
You can see the hydraulic ramp jacks on the ground in the backgroundMind sharing how?
That's not it, but good eye. I may share my method in a dedicated thread of its own, but am slightly hesitant because a) some Tesla owner who's never seen a flathead screwdriver in his life will end up killing himself, and b) I don't feel like dealing with the hours of debate that'll result. We'll see.You can see the hydraulic ramp jacks on the ground in the background

No. And you’d probably end up dropping the car.@Dolemite or anyone who's had damage using the Rennstand. Do you think using thier flat 4 in square jack pad (instead of the Tesla made 2.5 in square jackpad with the "nipple") with regular rubber jack pads fix/help with some of the jack point damage issues?
Follow up question....on a non lowered Model 3, would there be enough clearance to do ^ without driving on a 2x4 etc.?
Could you explain why you say this? I don't understand. Since the jack pad is the only piece touching the car, why wouldn't using different jack pads help? Are you saying all jack pads will damage the car? If so, why would you be upset as the RennStand jackpad design?No. And you’d probably end up dropping the car.
I don't anticipate wanting/needing to raise the whole car. Just jack up a side to rotate tires and lube the brakes and stuff like that.Ya wanna raise the whole car?
Eh, personally I think spending a thousand bucks or so to avoid a fatal crush injury is pretty justifiable.I don't anticipate wanting/needing to raise the whole car. Just jack up a side to rotate tires and lube the brakes and stuff like that.
Yeah, I already know about the quick jack, just can't justify the cost to my wife...or want something that big when I don't really have a need for the capability. I already have a jack. I just am trying to figure out the best option for my needs.
