My assumption is someone here is going to tell me something that is very obvious that I missed... but honest question here:
I have had 2 tire issues in the past month. Each time, I would have preferred to remove the tire myself, take the tire to the shop, have it repaired and then reinstall the tire. Typically, with any of my old ICE cars, I would use a jack stand on the lower control arm. With a Tesla, I am a bit nervous regarding positioning.
My question: Is there a spot on the control arm that should be used or should not be used to hold the car suspended when the wheel is removed?
I do have a set of pucks to jack the car up in the proper location, but I hesitate to leave a car unattended on a hydraulic car jack.
Thoughts? and Thank you in advance.
