Worried the dealer jacked it wrong

You’re going to get the same answer here. There’s no reason to suspect it’s jacked up wrong. Look at where the jack points are on the Model Y. Then decide if it looks like they’re in the wrong spot. Why do you think it’s wrong?

Well if the jack stands are in the right spot, they had to have jacked it up in the wrong spot. If the dealer is a Tesla dealer, I’m sure they were careful.

Wrong. The battery makes the car very rigid. You can get a Tesla on 4 jack stands without ever jacking in the “wrong” spot.

Can you back that option up? I google searched if it’s safe to jack up a Tesla outside of the jack points and ai says no as well as other websites

You can but you're not instructed to per their own instructions: https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/modely/en_us/GUID-9E6DD5CB-40BA-4A29-B20D-457303555037.html I'm sure the car is fine but they really should have used a lift.

The manual/website is for legal reasons. People who know how to jack a car in the air properly understand the physics and weights of where all a jack can safely go. Any part of the frame will work just as well as those jack points. Or even under the knuckle where the rotor attaches to the axle (which is where all the weight of your car sits on the wheels anyway).

This is the wrong jack point. According to teslas manual you are supposed to use a jackpoint jackstand cup This is what every tesla service center uses https://jackpointjackstands.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoovxKQacmGdYLyBFQg4oABxenUsY0yIInkfDKtIKI_DeFzoOji3

Teslas only have a safe single jackpoint and no pinchwelds that are safe to use

Per the manual maybe, not per the way things actually work. I’ve been jacking up vehicles for going on 30 years. Those 4 points are not the only ones that exist. Go ask any mechanic at any car repair shop. They’ll lift your car and show you what I’m talking about.

Im sure you can shade tree whatever you want and it just works until it doesn't. You wouldn't jack up a pagani like that. And trust me a tesla is for sure not a pagani, but I just follow the manual. Doing things the right way the first time saves trouble in the long run. Ive rebuilt a model x and a model 3 And owned 5 teslas, have 3 now***

Are your tires outside of those Jack points? Yes. So obviously AI is wrong already. Your car sits on the connection point to the tire hub. You can safely jack the car up on the bottom of that point. Amongst other places.

This is how cars will be in 2030

In my research to get a Tesla on jack stands, there have been two options. One of them is [https://jackpointjackstands.com/](https://jackpointjackstands.com/) at nearly $300 a piece. I would need 4 ouch for around $1200. It's possible they used something like this. I started building similar things using 2x4s and they were looking good but I got an email for quickjacks having a sale 20% off, and bought one of these: [https://www.quickjack.com/product/6000tlx-6000lb-portable-car-lift-extended-frame-pink](https://www.quickjack.com/product/6000tlx-6000lb-portable-car-lift-extended-frame-pink) for 20% off. Not only will it lift my 2 Model Ys, it will also lift my Outback, WRX and Gladiator.

My MYLR has the structural pack and it's built way different than your X & 3, heck, it's changed drastically even from the previous Y's as well. I wouldn't jack it anywhere other than where my manual from my year model tells me to no matter how many years i have working on gas cars. They're just not the same.

QuickJacks are awesome. Love mine. Here’s another that’s similar to those jackpoints but only about ~75/each https://a.co/d/001ZL1Xg

Hmm is there an adapter plate for those so they can take the weight off the jack using the Tesla jack point? If you look at the first link I added, there is a round, oversized plate that picks the car up from the jack point, the jack stand slides and and you lower the car to the jack stand where the plate lands on the jack stand. It's a clever idea. I'm not sure the one you sent will do the same thing; not knocking it, it looks awesome, but I can't see it working without a similar plate.

The QuickJack comes with 8 rubber blocks. 4 of one size and 4 of another. I use the 4 larger ones in the QJ well and then stick my jack pucks in the jack points and those go on top of the blocks.

Yes that's the idea with the QJ...I meant the link to the stands you sent. Sorry for the mixup.

Yea the one I sent you is similar. It has the jack point with a bar attached to it. You jack that up, and then you put the base on the bar and lower. Same concept just different architecture.

Every 4 wheeled vehicles weight essentially sits on the strut tower or spring assembly. Strut tower or spring transfers that weight, usually to the lower control arm. You can jack any vehicle up under this connection point without issue. It is by far the strongest part of any vehicle because so much weight and torque is resting at it.

Oh my bad. That was my mixup. The one I linked has a flat top plate so it’s compatible with more vehicles (the corners on the top plate look slight angled up). And you can put any adapter in there. Pinch weld or in our case the Tesla pucks.

> Look at where the jack points are on the Model Y. Then decide if it looks like they’re in the wrong spot. How'd they both raise the car and get jack stands under the only two approved jack points, hmm?

> You can get a Tesla on 4 jack stands without ever jacking in the “wrong” spot. Not without something like a Rennstand you can't. Please explain how you'd swap a stand into the last spot when it's jacked up without using a "wrong" jack point.

Fair point. Can you insert a puck, jack it a bit off center and the get the jack stand on the other side of the puck? If this were some third party place I’d be skeptical, but Tesla service centers may be practiced at this.

Okay duh is me, I understand that system now! Thanks for taking the time to explain that one!

Not sure if this is a serious question, but when I'm at the track, I always jack up the other side so that it lifts high enough to put in the two jack stands. The floor jack can lift it much higher than those jack stands.

I think we're all assuming they used a jack point that is strong enough and not just the next spot over...without finding the car on a lift or watching them do it, it's tough to say. Regardless if the car isn't showing any errors, this entire thing is largely academic...OP isn't going to find the answer they want unless they find some security footage or whatever.
