Jack stands for model x?

[kvs25]

I'm planning on powder coating my wheels and painting the calipers, so I need to lift the car for a few days.
Would normal jack stands (Pro-Lift 3 Ton Jack Stands with Ductile Cast Iron Ratchet Bar (Pair)-T-6903 - The Home Depot) work? I also saw people using adapters like a piece of wood to lift the car, but how would it stay on this jack stand? The jack stand contact points seem too small.

How would you put the jack stand under a pad? You would need to lift two wheels off the ground from another jack point. An ICE usually has a long jack point area where you can use a jack and the stand at the same location.

Right, that's my concern. Ideally I would use the jack and adapter to lift a wheel, then place the jack stand underneath, and then lower it. So I just want to make sure that the jack stands I linked to won't cause any issues.

It looks like this is the trick. This is a jack stand and jack-pad in one, you lift the car and then connect the legs....

That's what I use when I work on the X they're great.

Yea I saw those. At that price, I might as well get the full service package where they'll lift the car in their garage

Lol. I hear you, but I can't fathom another way to do it.

Yes, been using them for almost eight years now. (Though when I saw the thread heading, my first thought was "And so does Jill".)

which Tesla pad does the Jackpoint stand team offer that works with the X? I have (2) Jackpoint Stands but have not yet used them with the X. and do you get enough lift with the Jackpoint stand to swap out wheels (22s included)?

All the wheels on the X when tires are mounted have the same overall diameter, so rim diameter is not an issue. Haven't used them on my new X either, but based on how high they are on the S, there shouldn't be any problem.

thanks! so glad i saw this thread then. i will start using them when i go back to my 22s in the spring. based on the tesla puck i'm using now - would love to see a few pics of the setup with the Jackpoint stands (and corresponding puck) to anyone who has been using them too.

I've always just used hockey pucks (there were no special pucks eight years ago).

i use this, so was not sure if this worked with the Jackpoint stands?

At the prices of those jack stands, I'd buy four jacks.

Did you get the Tesla Model X compatible jackstands? If I remember correctly (I haven't used them in a while), I don't think I used a jack pad in addition to the Jackpoint setup.

 

[djillusion]

I don't know if I got X compatible ones; i use them for my porsche.

good news for me is that Jackpoint is down the street from where i live, so i'm going the their warehouse this afternoon to pick up the X jack pads/pucks and will re-confirm everything.

ill post any pics of the setup if there is interest.

I also use the jackpoint stands, expensive and take up a lot of space but they work great.

just got back from Jackpoint's facility. I spoke with John who's the owner and the key contact per the website. He was excellent to work speak with and happy I got to spend time over at his facility. All parts made right here in Illinois, USA.

To recap:

1) All Jackpoint stands work across all vehicles (I'm talking just about the stands). There aren't dedicated stands just for the Tesla (ie, X). The weight of each stand can hold 4,000 lbs.

2) There are Gen 1 and Gen 2 Jackpoing pads for the Telsa. Gen 1 and Gen 2 pads work with the Model S, Model X and Model Y. Gen 2 pads only work with the Model 3 Performance.

3) The difference between the Gen 1 and Gen 2 pads are 3mm in height. The Gen 2 pads are 3mm shorter and thus fit the Model 3 Performance.

John does have some Gen 1 pads (the higher pads) available that are a bit cheaper too. I'll be using this setup moving forward when I swap my 22s and 20s between seasons.
