Curiously, even with run flats, mine came with a jack, a handle and a screwdriver. Seems odd to have a tray and not fill it with what it was made for. BTW, 2017 coupe and a UK model.

Given it's a 2 ton car it's weighty but the jack is also fairly meaty. If I were ever to lift the car, then I would be using something far more appropriate. Having said that, scissors jacks might look feeble but are far stronger than their looks would suggest.

I bought 3 ton jack to change my set of tires, better safe than sorry.
When I bought my used '19 I noted the missing jack/etc and the dealer confirmed it didn't come with any. I suspect that in some countries like the UK they may be required to provide a jack by law.
Let's be a bit logical here folks. Whether you have run flats or not, what are you going to replace the flat tire with once you jack it up and remove the wheel???

This of course is true but I guess some might wish to work on the brakes, new pads or whatever albeit I think a scissor jack is normally only there to change out a wheel/tire. Not something I will be putting to the test and I would guess the same for most LC owners.
BTW here is a hydraulic press demolishing various jacks including (for some) our errant scissor jack. Word of caution here, this YT channel can become addictive :

Easy. You use it to remove the tire and then walk it to the nearest tire store, get it fixed, come back and reinstall it.
