Model S refresh lifted without jackpads at local shop - battery damaged on edges OK?

[21yokel]

Hello model s’perts (experts)!

Just had a local tire shop fix a bad mount and balance job. During lift, they didn’t use pucks and the edges of the lift did some apparently minor damage to the surface of the battery edge.


if it’s just superficial, then I am not worried about it. There are small indents in battery edges in a few areas next the jacking pads;

However I also know the battery internals are not located at this point.

Just wanted to get any expert thoughts if there are any Tesla techs or others with similar experience.


Thank you!

those black square things with 3 holes ARE the jack pads
if the shop has aiming problems that's another issue...

Not an expert here, but I'd consider that kind of damage superficial. That shop should be more careful with customer cars though.

The damage looks to be superficial only but they didn't put enough effort into lining up the hoist arms.

Thanks guys, agreed it really seems superficial. Im still kicking myself for not having my pucks with me - but oh well
