I've seen on here someone has made a Tesla extension cable for extending ev station charging in case of ICE'ing... would that work at the supercharger?

I haven't seen a Tesla extension, but I have seen a J1772 extension when used at a J1772 station.
This would not work for superchargers as it is not an extension for Tesla's connector.
You will need a Tesla connector inlet to create such a cable - in theory it could be made with a part purchased from Tesla and the appropriate cable, but it wouldn't be easy (at least until someone begins manufacturing a female inlet).

No, it won't work with the Supercharger. There are extension cords for J1772, and you use your Tesla supplied J1772 adaptor to charge your Model S / X.
I would imagine the market for a Supercharge extension would be VERY small.

This would be much better. I want a set of these:

THAT is a totally cool system!!! Of course it is only good for 12 or 13 inch tires. And I wouldn't want to haul the movers around in the trunk when I travel.

The size (gauge) of wire needed to safely extend the supercharger and carry that high current would be huge. Like cable thick as your wrist huge.
They could have a set at each charging station, next to the fire extinguisher and first aid kid.
"ICEd up emergency kit - break glass, remove jacks from storage, and move ICE car to a non-charging location. Call Tesla for tow truck service to remove the ICE car"
Good point. Here is the part I saw... doesn't seem like it would take to much to modify it.

Go Jacks... very effective

I used a floor jack. Once. But only works if locked/parked wheels are the ones to be lifted and shoved aside
