I've been wanting to make my own set of Tesla Jack Pad (some are calling it Jack Puck) for lifting my my car properly. I heard horror stories where improper lifting up a Tesla can result in a damaged battery pack. So it is better to have these on hand before you actually need them. Not all tire shops or tow trucks will have these Tesla adapters.
I made a set for my Model 3 using the directions from Doug Gerber.

Thanks Doug!
I think the screw and nut method is more secured. Other videos I see are just using screws alone to fasten down. I didn't want to the rubber bumper to separate from the hockey puck over time.
Here are the materials list.
