How To Jack Up Your Tesla

Tesla Owners: Why You Must Know How to Properly Jack Up Your Vehicle
Many Tesla owners don’t realize that lifting their vehicle incorrectly can cause significant and costly damage to the battery pack and structural frame. Because EVs rely on precise jack points, using the wrong lifting method can also create safety risks during roadside situations or routine maintenance.

To support owner safety and awareness, Gary Ashley, Tesla Fire Liaison Officer, has released a new instructional video explaining the correct procedure for jacking up your Tesla, including the proper use of jack pads and approved lift points. This PSA reflects his ongoing work with fire services, safety organizations, and Tesla drivers across North America.

Why this is important:
1. Incorrect lifting can damage the battery and high-voltage components
2.Proper jack pads are required to protect the vehicle’s underbody
3.Essential information for tire changes, winter preparation, and roadside maintenance
4. Supports broader EV safety education efforts for both drivers and responders
