Are you trying to call out @Betik?? 🤣 🤣 🤣
Nah, i'm sure it's a fine car. But I bet the jack (if it has one) is a bit less capacity. Although I have no idea what those batteries weigh. I may be speaking out of turn on that now that I think about it.

Mine are 13/16th’s.

Just replaced a grease seal on one wheel yesterday…. Pulled all four wheels off OAT and applied anti seize to the lug bolts. The lug bolts only Had some light corrosion on them, but as the old saying goes an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Wouldn’t want to be out on the Highway 🛣 and have to deal with a seized lug nut.

thanks for sharing the pics, is the wheel off the ground in that first picture?
Yes. Barely. Keep in mind several factors at play here. Mainly wether or not your hitch is lowered/raised/or even level to begin with. So if I was having any issues getting it off the ground, I could simply raise the hitch, put some dirt under the ramp, put dirt under the rear tires of the car, dig out under the tire being changed, etc.
