    You think they do that with a jeep, or some other actual off-road vehicle? Maybe they would, but I think the curb would take out that nazi car. That’s the difference.

      It might not take it out but at 6900lbs it’s probably really hard on the sidewalls.

      Jeep JKs weight less than half of that.

        I was behind a cyber truck the other day when it went over train tracks. I thought it was going to fall apart.

      For a showroom vehicle where you want everything on the vehicle to be as spotless and unblemished as possible, yeah, I would imagine some places would.

      Sure, not everywhere is gonna do it, but I would guess that they had a time or two where a car slipped on the curb and scuffed up the tire. It’s one more thing to potentially turn off a customer. Plus, they maybe can’t sell the car until they replace the damaged tires (just my guess).

        Scuffs and dirt are sources of pride for real off roaders. Sure the Detroit, Tokyo, London car shows they keep it spotless, and inside. For this, I suspect there’s a jeep on a 45° ramp somewhere with the front wheel of the jeep about where the roof of the CT is.

          “Real offroaders” wouldn’t buy a brand new car from a showroom, and if they would, the car would be spotless because they used ramps. They won’t celebrate scuffs and dirt that they didn’t make themselves.
