The Ultimate Guide to Tesla Jack Pucks for Safe Lifting

Of all the accessories you can buy for your Tesla, a set of lifting jack pucks (or jack pads) is arguably the most important for the safety of your vehicle. The battery pack spans the entire floor of the car, and improper lifting can cause catastrophic, multi-thousand-dollar damage to the battery casing.

Why You Need Jack Pucks

Teslas have specific lifting points located near each wheel. These points feature small holes designed to accept a specialized adapter. If a tow truck driver or an uninformed tire shop attempts to lift the car using a standard floor jack directly on the frame rails or battery casing, they will crush the battery armor.

How They Work

Jack pucks are heavy-duty rubber or aluminum cylinders with a post that inserts securely into the factory lifting holes. They provide a safe, flat surface for the floor jack or hydraulic lift to push against, ensuring the weight of the vehicle is distributed correctly and the battery remains untouched.

Keep Them in the Car

You should purchase a set of four pucks and keep them permanently in your sub-trunk or frunk. If you ever get a flat tire on the side of the 15 freeway and need a tow, or if you visit an independent tire shop, you can hand the pucks to the technician to ensure your Tesla is lifted safely.
