Those Jack Pad Adapters look good.
I have been using Hockey Pucks for years and work really well, and are cheap.

I like the ones made by Kmotorsport.

Absolutely - I forgot to take one out and drove around for awhile. When I remembered and looked it was still there. I spaced out and put a link in my original post for Model 3 pads but the ones for the Model S are similar but different dimensions. When I tried to change the link the original one was deleted and since you can only edit a post for a short amount of time there is now no link in my first post but it is in the reply from dk10438 because it was quoted there - oh well.

using hockey pucks with rubber stops screwed into them. It took a few tries to get the correct size rubber stop. About 6 dollars each in parts.

I personally use these jack pads! They are $29.95 and worth every penny! No point in paying $100.

Would love to know type/size of stops you are using. Have an amazon link?

I bought the reverse logic pads after seeing my car get lifted by the battery by discount tires (the jack was 3 long 1.5 wide on both sides so the weight was distributed and I checked to see if there was any damage and there wasn't. I had left for lunch and came back to see the car on the lift so I couldn't stop them).

The pads work well and comes with a case so I just leave the pack of four in my trunk. The o-rings holds them on the car securely.

FYI: For using a puck, I talked to my detailer when I was getting my car ceramic coated and he works on a lot of teslas and he has to stack two pucks because his lift has a small (~1/8") lip which if oriented towards the battery would touch the battery before the main service touches the puck. The Reverse logic puck is a little thicker and doesn't have that problem.

thanks. ordered some SR pads today. K sport looked nicer but like you said, these are jack pads and no need to spend more money than necessary.

they are standard hockey pucks. I bought 6 from amazon. 4 stay in the car and 2 in the garage.

The stoppers you drilled to the pucks is what I’m interested. You say they are the perfect size so I’d like to get some.

I've been using an old rubber pad with a slit down the center (from my german cars). But I really like the hockey puck with the stopper. I think that I will follow in your footsteps and make one of my own.

I picked them up at orchard supply. Measured the bottom of the stop at 1 inch. see attached. FYI I used screws for attaching hardibacker to attach the stops to the hockey pucks. The idea is not mine, another forum member posted photos of his a few years ago.
