Laser Tools has introduced two sets of four lifting-jack pads designed to help prevent any jacking damage on the Tesla Model 3, Model Y or the Model S and Model X. 


Just like any other vehicles, Teslas need to be jacked up for maintenance or for common procedures such as tyre changes. When using a floor jack or a two-post ramp, it can be easy to damage the bodywork or the battery case, even though the correct lifting points have been used. 

Pushed directly into the lifting points on the underside of the vehicle, the rubber O-ring holds the pad in place while the jack or ramp is then raised up to the pad. The pads feature colour-coded rubber collars (yellow Part No,: 8439 and green Part No.: 8440) which identifies their location under the car and also acts as a grip to help remove the pad from the vehicle after use.

The yellow pads are for the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y and the green pads for the Model S and Model X. The pads are manufactured from sturdy, non-compressible and non-marring acetal plastic (polyoxymethylene), with a rubber O-ring. Spare single pads of both types are also available (part number 8460 for Model 3 and Model Y and part number 8461 for Model S and Model X).

Garages intending to offer servicing and repairs on Tesla models will need these two sets of lifting jack pads. They are available now from Laser Tools stockist.
