New Porsche Taycan Jack Pads Available

[Techwizard100]

I just ordered 4 of the jack pads. But I can't see how they fit the jack points on the Taycan.

I got a pair too. I don't think they are a good fit. Gotta be a better option out there.

I use some old ones I have on hand from a BMW. Not a perfect fit either, but they work well and the price is right:

I ordered a pair, and was actually going to get a second pair for situations where the car might go up on a four-point lift. However I haven’t used mine yet.

In what way do they not fit well? The length/width/depth of the rectangular portion?

Strange thing, the ones that arrived were flat pucs. Perhaps something was off in the order process.

I have a set of 4 and test fitted - they fit perfectly - arguably they might be a bit tighter i.e. ca 1/4" of play, but the rectangle has solid contact within the car's jack pad and should work fine..

I have not lifted the car with these so in respect deformation or wear I have no experience as yet.

Perhaps the comment "I don't think they are a good fit" doesn't quite translate to actually test fitting them?

I dug mine out and tried them for fit. I think they are well made and sized correctly. On mine, the rectangular portion fits the shallow cavity of the jack plate, and the outer edges of the disc rest nicely on the border of the housing. They are snug, but not tight - i.e. will not get stuck when you lower the jack.

Sounds like they sent you the wrong thing.

Some photos attached. Consistent with those in the first post and on the product detail page.

Same here, I used mine multiple times already and am very happy with them.

Looks like I got the wrong supply. Odd.

This is the response I got today from

Looks like I got the wrong supply. Odd.

I got this message from Creative Steel today -" Our jackpads will indeed fit your Tycan and were developed specifically for that vehicle. They do not fit into the round recessed portion but they do contact the rest of the plastic mount on the body."

On a separate note I got this message re using the RennStand - "Thank you for your interest in RennStand, and for reaching out to us about a pad for your Porsche Taycan. While we do not have one available just yet, we do have it in the pipeline for development in the near future."

@dickp See my photos above. They definitely fit. It appears that @Techwizard100 was sent the wrong product.

fwiiw I had our high-quality tire store swap out my set of wheels. Stood and watched them jack up the car and do the necessary work. As far as I could tell it went quickly and perfectly using their standard equipment and procedures.

Yep, agree. I will re-order and work this out.

First lift with the Quickjack & the Creative Steel jack pads. Works great.

Remember these were also designed to work with the later Panameras and as such are a little loose in the Taycan, but also won’t get stuck. I am glad to see they are selling well.
