So after calling around and getting prices that weren't cheap and not a great confidence on whether a place could do the rotation correctly, I went out and bought the jack below. I've needed a jack anyway so now I can easily get tires off to plug as well as rotate the tires etc.
1.5 Ton Aluminum Rapid Pump® Racing Floor Jack
Anyway, I haven't done on the Tesla yet. Everything I've seen says you do front to back so I guess I will do that, I'm not sure I could even do side to side as I don't have an extra tire. Wifes tire on her Infinity suv has the same bolt hole, but the spare was at least 2 inches higher.
Anyway. I have this jack and I have a scissor jack from either of the other two cars as a backup emergency jack. Plan is to jackup with the jack above and then throw the scissor jack on the other jackpoint just as an emergency jack.
As you can see on the jack above it has a rubber face. I test fit the jack and it just slides under my car. Like the rubber compresses ever so slightly to get it under. The rubber appears to be higher than the metal sides of the jack cup, can I just lift on this or should I try to wedge some cardboard in? I could get a couple of hockey pucks and make some lift adapters but if they aren't needed in my application i'd rather not. Plus with the lift adapters I'd definately have to drive up on 2x4s and even then I'm not sure I would clear.
