I hate bottle jacks, don't trust them.

I bought this top rated 3-ton floor jack last year for $280 during a sale. The floor jack was so popular that I had to wait a month for the next shipment to arrive to my local HF store.

HF basically reverse engineered the $600 Pro Eagle floor jack and made it better than the competition.

Which suspension height setting do you use in jack mode? Has this jack worked well with the Cybertruck?

 

[TeslaKen]

No matter what level I start at it doesn't have enough travel. Put the suspension on high then jack mode and it still extended the suspension, it would not lift the tire off the ground.

This is where people get confused when they talk about the how high a jack will go. It isn't the total height that you need to know, it is the amount of lift. Like you I bought a bottle jack and no matter where I started the trucks suspension, low, med, or high, I could only get the front wheel off the ground when starting in High. The back wheel I could never get off the ground. I did not try extract mode but that might be the key to getting the rear off the ground with a regular bottle jack.

Looking at this thread the bottle jack that seems to have the most lift/travel is this one:
Amazon.com: BAOSHISHAN 4 Ton Bottle Jack 10-5/8" to 24" Lifting Range High Lift Double Ram Bottle Jack Hydraulic Welded Jack Truck Jack : Industrial & Scientific

But it starts at 10-1/2 inches and has a total travel of 13-1/2 inches. Starting at 10.5 inches is too tall for the low suspension setting and without checking I'd say you are going to need to start in medium or high to use this jack but the good news is that with 13.5 inches of total travel it should get the wheel off the ground. If someone reading this has tried this jack and can confirm, would be appreciated as I think this is the one I'm going to order since my regular bottle jack just doesn't have enough travel.

For my Cybertank, I mean Cybertruck. I say Tank since it is so heavy the scissor jack I have does NOT even lift one wheel!
What is everyone using?

Have not used it but I have the bottle jack from the spare tire purchase.

For 65 bucks, I thought it is better to have two jacks, and I can rotate the tires, one side at a time, plus jack up the truck to fix a tire.
And they come in a cool carrying case.

Edited. I misread the post and thought you said it is 65. Anyway, I bought two jacks for 65 total.

I apologize if this has been addressed, but I have not seen a clear answer to my question.

Are the CT jack lift points large enough that If I use my floor jack to lift one corner of the truck, I could then set a jack stand there, lower the jack and move it to another corner??

 

[65SoYoLO]

I have not looked at it long enough to make that call but I do not think they will fit together. it would have to be a very thin jack and very thin jack stand.

The Cybertruck owner's manual has a section on "Jacking and LIfting". There are separate locations for the jack stands (further from each wheel). So, yes, the idea is you can lift one corner using the lift point, set it down on a stand using the jack stand point, and move the jack to another corner. I'm under the impression you shouldn't jack up opposite corners either (e.g., front passenger and rear driver), but I don't see a warning about that here:

Harbor freight got a real nice 2 1/2 ton aluminum for $249. might be cheaper if you get on the store coupon. I have four different jack sizes at home. But their aluminum pump jacks are low profile and they go pretty high. and they’re really light comparatively to a steel jack. Also fast cause they’re double cylinder so they go up and down quickly. Incase you’re looking for one.

3 Ton mentioned earlier on sale (black fri) for $249 now

Have not used it but I have the bottle jack from the spare tire purchase.

Can you measure the minimum height of your Tesla spare tire bottle jack? If you are willing, it would also be great if you could measure the maximum height of your Tesla spare tire bottle jack as well. I heard it is 21" at its maximum height.

I got this bottle jack/jack stand combo and it worked pretty well when I used to to switch over to my winter tire set-up. It's nice because it can auto catch the jack stand as you're using the bottle jack, and it can range between 11"-21". The jack has a saddle and I couldn't find a flat jack pad to use with it, so I wound up grinding the wings flat to make it flat.
