Yes, some jack pads are lower in profile to enable using the pad when using a floor jack if the vehicle has a lowered suspension (Performance Model 3, Performance Model Y.)

The pad knob that inserts into the hole varies in diameter size from 23mm to 26mm depending on the brand. Mine were too loose with the O ring si I added a second O ring in the grove with the supplied one on top. Now they stick in the hole as they should. The diameter of the hole on both my Teslas are 25.5mm. The pad knobs were 23mm, too lose.
The thickness of the pad is 1" and just slips in with my floor jack with 1/4 " clearance. I had to remove a part of the cup on the jack to make it work. The S with suspension lift is not a problem.

Do you have a link to the O-rings that you used? I have the same problem with the pads falling out.

Sorry, I don't have the O ring number. They were just in my shop collection of stuff. They fit the groove but are about 2mm in cross sect. diameter. I suppose you could wrap some rubber bands into the groove and then put the original O ring back in place.
Do you all leave them pads on the car all the time or take them off, once you are done using the jack ?
Oh man, definitely take them off before you drive away. They can wiggle free and fly off on highways.
The one drawback with the ones that fit well/stick in there?
You are more likely to lower the car, pull out the jack, forget its in there.
Then you drive away, and lose it. (ask me how I know)

That makes two of us! I retraced my drive but couldn't find the pad unfortunately.

I made a set of jack pads using 4 hockey pucks, and a set of rubber bumpers:
1) Routed a circular groove in the puck for the rubber bumper about 1/8" deep.
2) Glued the rubber bumper to the puck.
Total time to make ~1 hour.
Total cost ~$13.
