For reference for other Tesla owners

Tesla don't appear to offer MOTs, hard to tell as its currently impossible to ring them

Get a set of lift pucks and keep them in the car, they are critical to jacking / lifting the car to ensure no bodywork damage

loads of options i used these for the combo of price/rating/fast delivery

Print the Tesla MOT how to and leave it in the car

Halfords carried out the MOT for £39, it was their first one, with the pucks and the guide they had no problems

Got my first coming up.

How critical are pucks for 3?

The guide you linked to doesn't mention additional pucks in the lifting guide, just notes the location of the jack points?

i am not an expert but from what i have read the lifting points are recessed and fairly narrow given the size of the pucks which are far narrower than your typical 2 post pads, there is documentation saying the surrounding sill and battery will crush if attempted to be lifted on

I bought the Amazon ones but they didn’t use them. Maybe they used a ramp?
