Putting the 3 on all 4 jack stands

Four Unijacks:

plus jack pucks, of course.

The unijack looks pretty nice. Will a puck fit on the pad? Will the unijack fit under the car fully collapsed or will you still need a floor jack?

I need to buy something to rotate my tires and I'm thinking 2 unijacks would be cheaper and easier to deal with than a floor jack and 2 of the safety stands.

Don't buy the safejack the price is just rediculous for a jack stands. They use a $90 harbor freight Jack to setup a $150 jack stands in the video.

I'd buy four jacks. Don't know why you need more than one side up though there is nothing under this car.

Floor jacks and jack stands are two different things. You should not be under the car when your car is on floor jacks. For Teslas you can't use a floor jack and place a jack stand at the same time because they need to use the same jack point. That's where the safejack comes in. You can use the floor jack and the jack stand at the same time on the same jack point.

There is nothing under a tesla. Why would you go under it? I understand the purpose of the safejack I just think it's way overpriced for what it is. This is me painting my calipers two days ago. That jackstand was $50.

p3dstealth,

I bought a Rennstand, can't get it under the car. Might need to drive on a block of wood or something first... Haven't tried yet. Kinda disappointed with how tall it is.

Yea, the 3 ton version. The seller gets them in stock and sells out in a few days. You have to keep checking. They list 14 at a time. The 6ton version doesn't sell as quickly because it's $90. The 6ton is still in stock.

I've used it 3 times... it works.

Jack up the car without the stand high enough to put something under the tire. Might be easier than making a ramp out of wood.

Jacking from the front jack point, it’s possible to lift the side of the vehicle high enough to place a jack stand under the rear jack point. With the stand under the rear jack point, lower the jack and place a stand under the front point. Repeat for the other side. I love my esco 3 ton stands- they have a nice flat pad that’s a sturdy fit for the puck.

If that makes you a little nervous and you have a set of ramps, you could also place a ramp under a tire at any point in the process (until you remove said tires, of course).

Was it $50 with shipping? I see the 6 ton version listed by its $18 for shipping.

He charges $18 shipping. But he did send it priority to NY from CA so it was $18.

If you are in CA and close I would ask to pick it up. He is prob buying them from here and doubling the price. He sells this as a 3 ton. I wouldn't rate it higher than 3 either.

Reading down the thread here is the conclusion that there is NO way to get all 4 wheels off the tesla at once and keep the car elevated by just using tesla jack pads and stand jack stands? I am trying to get all 4 wheels off at once, so that I can take them to my local shop for tire dismounting, then to have the wheels powder coated somewhere else, then to have new tires put on the newly painted wheels, and then to put them back onto the car?

You should search on Youtube. There are few videos showing how to put a long wood bean between the two lifting point on each side of the car.

Do some searches on this forum about stress fractures in the M3's roof. Talking about FUD. I've been jacking my TM3P for 3+ years. No stress fractures of any kind to speak of. Anywhere. If the roof cracks, it wasn't installed/glued correctly. In that case, avoiding jacking the car by...

Well $379.99 is not that cheap...

It's pretty cheap. If that's too much, you could probably do something similar with a harbor freight jack, milk crates and a couple of pieces of wood.

Can you post the link for the jack stands? I found them on Alibaba but you have to buy 100pcs.
