Who are you asking the question to?How do you love that scissor to get a jack stand under? Looks cumbersome.
I like it, but I don't /love/ it.How do you love that scissor to get a jack stand under? Looks cumbersome.
Is the Porsche jack even rated to lift the weight of a Model 3?
Original poster claims it's rated for 2200 lbs. An empty Model 3 weighs about 4000 lbs. Rule of thumb is that the jack should be rated for a least 75% of the weight of the vehicle. 75% x 4000 = 3000 lbs. So a 2200 lb jack doesn't seem to be sufficient. Wouldn't the Modern Spare 3000 lb scissor jack be a better choice for the Model 3 and the 4000 lb for other models?
Lol.. supposed to say how do you move.... move the jack to get the stand under.I like it, but I don't /love/ it.
I'm guessing Ray means that he uses one jack to lift and a second for redundancy backup?
I bought the Heyner Ultralift L Pro for cars up to 2.8 tons or approximately 6200 lbs. This weight rating is sufficient for any tesla model.
I took the nub off and added some rubber to the jack
Walmart it’s like a no slip thing you put on your bumper or running board step. I’m sure Amazon has them or any auto parts store.Hi, where did you get your rubber piece? I have the jack now. Look for a strong rubber bit to glue on where the hub was.
Many Thanks!
Setting up a spare kit...I purchased one off ebay. Gonna try this out...German engineered looks interesting. Curious to see if the size of the jack lift support hole is the same size as the Tesla. My main concern is the low clearance.
Unfortunately, my 2023 Model 3 came with a new smaller 20mm jacking socket.To follow up received my Porsche jack worked like a champ. Factored another 2 inches for clearance with a flat..no problem. For those who are wondering about the size of the ball I took measurements. Took 2 readings gettting 24 and change and 25 mm.
This is an excellent option for those who need an emergency jack. The Porsche is rock solid German engineering. I have an extra set (bought 1 for the 3 and another for a Y). If anyone is interested I’m selling for 125.00 plus shipping or local North DFW area. I ordered a cybertruck so I don’t think I’ll need the second jack.View attachment 932991View attachment 932992View attachment 932993View attachment 932994View attachment 932995
Mike - how do we purchase one of your adapters? What’s the cost shipped within the US? Thanks!Unfortunately, my 2023 Model 3 came with a new smaller 20mm jacking socket.
Over the past five years, I have modified many models of scissors jacks made by Toyota, Hyundai and other manufacturers with Tesla jacking adapters.
A couple of years, ago, I acquired older 1999-2006 Audi A6 aluminum jacks that weighed less than three pounds and modified them with custom Delrin and stainless steel adapters. I bought and sold six of them to fellow Tesla owners, but the Audi jacks became harder to get is acceptable condition. Here is aphoto of one of them.

Unable to get more Audi aluminum jacks, I now make a UNIVERSAL TESLA SCISSORS JACK ADAPTER that works with any flat top jack (with the swiveling piece removed by drilling out the rivet and enlarging the hole to 5/16") into a socket hole and retained pushnut.

Using the jack on my Model 3 and electric jack looks like this.
