Built into all four corners. It wouldnt cost that much to add that feature.

Lots of extra weight

200-300lbs max on cars.
And probably could be done for less

Has to be level or the kitchens won't work.

Because you touch yourself at night

There could many ways to make sure it levels out.

Not as crazy as it sounds. Some GT class race cars have them as do a couple of hypercars...or at least the Aston Martin Vulcan.
Probably not a thing bc it'd cost too much to engineer into the vehicle and then it'd just be one more thing to break and have to warranty.

1. About another 600 lbs weight at a minimum (not just the jacks but extra chassis bracing
2. Poorer gas mileage/performance
3. Liability of mis-use
4. How often does the average person need to jack up their entire car?

Would be a convenience but not much necessity. Most drivers don't change their own tires anyway. Plus, compact cars and minivans don't have much space for them, especially on the front.

shite is used in race cars. Weight is obviously not an issue.
Seems like extra cost for little benefit though.

I would hazard a guess that the exotic metals used in race car jacks might be a bit cost prohibitive for the general public not to even mention they get inspected and serviced after every few hours, Joe sixpack is overwhelmed having his oil changed every 5,000 miles.
Can you even begin to imagine the product liability lawsuits if one were to deploy inadvertently?

Most OT guys on here just lift the car up while their baws change the tires.

Additional Weight.
Additional Cost.
Cars already have a jack in the trunk.
It's a rarely used feature
