If I'm ever working on a car, like doing a brake job or whatever, I jack the car up with a floor jack, and then put it on jackstands so it is safe. With the M3, there are just 4 specific jack points. So if I use a jackpoint to raise up one corner of the car, how can I then transfer that point to a jackstand? Is there some part of the suspension I could use to put a jack stand under when I remove the floor jack to raise the other side?
Unfortunately, Tesla doesn't seems to design their cars for this. (This is true of the X and S, as well.) Here's one solution: Jackpoint Jackstands Or get a lift: QuickJack For Residential Use - Home Car Lift
If you jack up the right rear of the car, the right front comes up as well. You can then put a jack stand there. Just did this to bleed brakes on my 3.
I think I'll have to try this before buying anything else. I'd prefer not to have two floor jacks; one takes up enough space.
The structure isn't infinitely rigid. Lifting at a single point runs the risk of twisting the body which might break the rear window. On this thread, post 67, on the Model 3 Owners Club Forum, a member speaks of a service center without a lift that does service using four jacks simultaneously manned because of this risk.
What do you plan to do to the Tesla? Because of regen Tesla brakes typically last 100k+ miles. Unless you plan to keep the car past that you shouldn’t ever have to do anything to the car beyond refilling the wiper fluid and rotating/replacing the tires. A lift or special jacks seem like a waste of money.
