Many jacks have a rubber pad on the flat lifting point which should be enough to prevent that, but even without it i honestly wouldn't be very worried about scratching it up.
The pucks are cheap insurance. I bought a set in case I have a problem. In addition I got a tire repair kit & a small air compressor.
I also have some plugs other than one that uses a 14-50 outlet. You can’t plan for all unexpected events but you can do preparation for some of the more common.
Doesn't everyone growup playing ice hockey? Have 4 spare pucks laying around, or $10 for 4 at Dicks. Drill a ¾" hole half way thru each puck, glue a piece of leftover ¾" PEX in. Trim to fit. Wrap hockey tape around the PEX, to get the final fit, just right, so that the pucks hang. When you take it to a tire shop, you just put the pucks in. They'll figure it out from there.

Just went to get my tires rotated. I thought most shops had padded lifts and could do Teslas. This place (NTB) didn't; said I need the hockey pucks. I don't have them, so now have to order them, wait for them, and waste time going back in for a tire rotation.
Why does a $60k car that differs from all other cars in that it needs these pucks just in order to lift it without damage not come with them included. They cost $20 on Amazon for the set of four. Tesla would do well to just include them and spare their owners this pointless headache.
Tesla clearly doesn't want owners coming to Tesla Service for tire rotation, since they charge a ridiculous fee. These cars are supposed to be low cost and hassle free to maintain. So make it that way.
