I did a measurement with my caliber, the post/shaft need to be 19 to 19.5mm, an the legth is about 0.75 inch (19mm), but I would bring it down to 15mm.

I could make a lot of things
but most people buying from Amazon probably don’t want to pay for my parts 
how much is going to cost to make 4 jack pad for Model Y 4680? lol.I could make a lot of things

No. Structural integrity will be intact. The Potauto part is made from a block of aluminum, and the upper protrusion is ONLY used to center it in the holes in the chassis that ensure your weight is supported on the proper location and strength part of the chassis.
I also made my own jack pads using hocket pucks and 19.5mm rubber feet bumpers from amazon. I took the Model Y to Costco today and they were able to use it to rotate tires. You just need to center it and screw them into the pucks.

Hey there!
Weekends can indeed slow down responses. For your Model Y AWD with the 4680 battery, protecting the carpeted areas is a smart move. While you're waiting, consider checking out TESERY for a variety of Tesla Model Y Accessories tailored for the Model Y.
Specifically, for your concern about Front and Rear Door Sill Protectors, TESERY offers quality options that not only protect but also add a touch of style. You can find these accessories here.
Hope this helps, and congratulations on your 4680 Model Y!

Unfortunately in that thread, it was later discussed that those found on Amazon are really 22mm, thus too large

Yup, I was one of the two TMCers who bought those, and figured out the Amazon ad is incorrect: they are not 20mm.

I just wanted to say thank you for this post. I used the items you linked and created my own pucks this way as well. Thank you!
I recently made these pads for the new 2023+ FISKER OCEAN ONE
They are exceptionally light weight using 9 ply aircraft quality Baltic Birch plywood and machined aluminum posts. They weigh 2 ounces each.

The Fisker Ocean has a special custom jacking point. I'm thing of making them for my Austin built Model 3

Obviously, you don't know Baltic Birch plywood.
Historically, Baltic Birch plywood is stronger than steel or aluminum by weight and has been used in the original Wright flyer, Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis, and Howard Hughes "Spruce Goose." It use in the De Havilland Mosquito made it the fastest propeller driven plane in WWII.
All Higgins boats used in the D-day invasion and WWII PT boats were constructed of this plywood.
Thanks for the history lesson. I don't claim to be an expert in wood, but thanks for the history lesson. I've flown Citabrias with fiber wings. That doesn't mean I'll jack my car up using a similar construction.
I'd be interested in seeing strength tests for that material. 0.25 thick? I can find something similar for aluminum and steel.

I‘ve got the tighter puck holes too, but your pick holes look nothing like mine. My puck holes are smooth.
I guess as long as the puck hole does the job when there’s a need…
What the puck?
I feel I may be getting bad pucking information. I’ve owned several cars in my life, this puck thing is a new one for me. Typically jack points are built into a car, why is the Tesla different? Do I really need to buy a set of four pucks and carry them in the car all the time? In California...
