2023 Model Y Puck size (austin build)

[tradosaurus]

Just measured the hole for the lift point to attach the pucks.

The size is 24.65 mm and not the 20 mm other people were saying. I measure using a micrometer.

My car was built in Austin and I picked it up early September 2023.

You don’t need to attach the pucks. You don’t even need pucks. But if you want to use them, they don’t need to attach to the jack points.
As long as it fits in the hole it’s fine.

I like the ones that will because you can slide them in before jacking and the pucks won't fall out. Easier to see where the jack point is located when using a lift.

Similar, I like to use the pucks as well, don't have to crawl under the vehicle as far to look. Also makes sure I don't mare or scrape the finish even if it would only be superficial.

I haven't tested the puck size on my Austin built LR - I'll have to check next time, just assume its the same as my Freemont built 3 & Y I've owned in the last year.

I would try to get one with a snug enough fit to not fall out. If I already had one and the fit was too loose I’d just wrap it with electrical tape or something until it fit the way I want.

The same ones I used on previous 2019 M3 fit my 2023 MY exactly.

I put a hockey puck on my floor jack and watch carefully as I lift the car. Just to make sure the force is on the lift point and nothing is hitting the battery.

How often does everyone jack up their car that it matters that much?

Once is more than enough. Why risk damaging the battery when it's easy locate the lift point with a puck hanging from the hole? Less $20 for four (4).

Also I have a hard time believing the jack point hole size was EVER 20 mm. Don't think Tesla would arbitrarily change the hole size for one model year.

+1. Use hockey pucks if you feel like it but it’s not necessary. Signed guy with two lifts.

It's actually been widely reported and even many places on Amazon has updated their Puck sizing. Austin 2023 Model Y's have a different puck size starting sometime around March 2023. So yes, Tesla DID arbitrarily just change the puck holes for 2023 Austin Model Y's.

Here's another thread that discusses this.

Model Y AWD - puck size discrepancy

I had a similar experience at my local Discount Tire Center. They had jack pads for every Tesla model ever made, but none of them fit my Austin-bullt Model Y built in June, 2023. The tire store manager said they always use a lift pad per Tesla instructions, so I was out of luck. I phoned Tesla...

It's been clarified that ONLY the Model Y AWD (base version) built in Austin has the 20 mm holes. Not the MYLR or the MYP built in Austin.

If the puck falls out, I'd build up the circumference of the tip with gasket maker, till it fit snug.

I can confirm this is the case, whether you can easily believe it or not. Now I'm in a position of reading every single internet discussion on this topic, in an attempt to rotate my tires on my own

You don't need pucks, just be careful where you place the jack.

without any padding?

The puck centering knobs that I 3D printed for my Model 3 years ago were 25.7mm and fit snugly enough to hold the puck in easily. So snugly in fact that I've driven away with one still attached and had opportunity to grab it 10+ miles later when I remembered that I didn't put it away.

I clicked in for curiosity in case I make a snap decision to get a Y before end-of-year.

Well you won't have to worry about this, as the 4680 "Standard Range" Y isn't for sale anymore. ALL others have the 25mm jack point.

 

[brkaus]

without any padding?

Sure. Just keep the jack on the jack point. So really depends on your jack design.

 

[ngng]

without any padding?

You can if you’d like. Just make sure the jack head is on the jack point
