FYI, ended up at Fleet Tire.
They don’t have pucks, but they said they’ve done a few Tesla’s and were
familiar - that they have to use their jacks. I watched them do it using these
jacks
(https://m.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200674207_200674207?cm_mmc=Google-LIA&utm_source=Google_LIA&utm_medium=Automotive%20%3E%20Jacks&utm_campaign=Yellow%20Jacket&utm_content=56647&gclid=CjwKCAiAouD_BRBIEiwALhJH6PAwMNYr7HQBG2zGT8r4_c-at9sjq9AABCB29WbmzIJE44G1Dx2olBoCCsAQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds)
which have a flat jacking surface instead of the cupped style and only touch
the lift points.
I went ahead and ordered a puck kit to make it easier next time.
FYI, cost wise for a mount/balance calling around for 235/45R18’s:
Fleet $18/tire
Fisher $25/tire
Discount Tire $35/tire
Surprised at the variation in pricing. Fleet was not only the cheapest, but
they’re the closest to me (downtown Knoxville).
Also, for those interested, I got Vredestein Quatrac Pro’s. I’ll let you know
how they ride if you’d like after I’ve driven them a bit. Ended up $163/tire
and $722 after tax and such. With mount and balance should be right at $800 all
in.

I would *never* assume they have the correct lift pucks.
And if you find a technician there who has had Tesla experience, get his/her
name for everyone.

Just checking as I know Fisher was previously recommended by some folks
here - they seemed confused on the phone when I asked if they had lift
pucks - do their lifts have them integrated? Did you check when you went?
