Parts specialist febi is offering a solution to a potential jacking problem on certain Tesla models. 

febi says when performing maintenance which requires the vehicle to be raised from the ground on any Tesla models 3/S/X , it is essential that the vehicle is lifted correctly in order to avoid any damage to the high voltage battery that is located under the car.

All of these Tesla models have four dedicated jacking points, which require the use of febi adaptor set 173025 to fit into the locating points designed for this purpose. These can be used with a hydraulic jack or vehicle lift in order to raise the vehicle safely and efficiently. 

febi says technicians should never raise these Tesla models when the vehicle has the charging cable connected, even if charging is not in progress. An incorrectly supported vehicle should also never be worked on.

Before starting any work, technicians should check if the vehicle is equipped with air suspension as this will automatically self-level, even when the power is off. This system must be disabled by engaging Jack Mode before lifting or jacking. If this is not done the air suspension will attempt to self-level resulting in possible vehicle damage. 

The febi 173025 Jack Pad Set is available from febi stockists nationwide.
