I actually just searched "jack" on the main page and it just turns up 30 or so items and I just looked through them. However, when I was first searching I was trying 2001 Porsche Boxster
Thank you theses are going for insane prices on ebay used.

Thanks to OP "mswlogo" for the Porsche scissor jack share.
My particular take on adapting the Porsche piece for Model 3 use was to fabricate a compatible "spud" to fit into the Tesla's jacking pad receivers. I've documented that here:

Wow!! Looks great. You think you could screw on a rubber stopper on it like people do when making the hockey style type of jack pads?

Awesome job !!! Where did you find the neoprene fender washer - hardware or auto parts store ? I've been searching online, but could only find it for sale in bulk.....
Better yet do you think the nub-less jack is low enough where you can take one of those hockey style jack pads, drill a hole down through the center of it and then screw mount it to the top of the jack?

Im also interested in where you got the neoprene fender washer....thx
Looks great...but looks like a toilet valve
How is it attached?
Haha!!!! You are right it does. Kind of took a page from Ellsworths book. Knocked out the nub. Made a oval washer. Screwed down one of those door bumpers people use to make their own jack pads on top of a rubber fender washer and bolted it underneath. Those door bumpers have a metal cylinder inside them that keep the bolt from going though it.
Gave it a try and sure enough no problem lifting the car. Great thread. Thanks again.
I tried buying one from their. When I first went to the web site it said sign up for email list and receive 10% off on first purchase. I skipped and figured I could add that later if I find what I want. They had one for $69. I stopped at the check out for discount code. I had a heck of time getting that 10% discount to pop up, finally it did. Waited for email, nothing. Finally I said screw it and ordered it. 5 minutes later I got the discount code in email, grrrr.
Replied to the order confirmation and asked if they could apply the code. They refused. Nice. It was only $6 but it still annoyed me.
10 days go bye and no shipped notice. Now I wanted out. Especially since I doubt the photo matches the one I might get. I threatened to challenge it via PayPal and a day later he refunded it.
I ordered another one on eBay. It was $150 but includes the wheel and he refused to break it up. I’ve seen the wheels sell for $100. Anyone want a nice Porsche Spare tire
BTW, there was one on eBay with the tire that was brand new. I look at these things as antiques/collectors item now and thought it was pretty cool. Crazy high price though.

This is the easiest option. Less than $100: Tesla Model 3 Accessory-Only kit - Modern Spare

I'm really torn between "I don't like driving without a spare" and "that Modern Spare will just sit in the trunk taking up space"
I have the Tesla repair kit (with the goop), and roadside of course. But I also don't have the greatest luck with tires.

Just curious, where on the car do you safely jack it up with that jack? Do you use some jack pad with it?
