This is not maintenance, this is repairing damage.

Hitting that at any speed is unlikely to make for a fun day.
When I was a teenager I had a tiny Datsun 510. After a day of snowboarding I was making my way out of a ski resort parking lot and hit a small dip. The engine came down onto a tiny mountain of packed snow/ice and managed to crack both the radiator and the oil pan. That was an expensive day on the slopes.
Maybe a freak accident, but that car was very light and I was surprised at the damage as well. My cousin worked at the resort at the time and he said it would happen frequently.
Normally, heavy I.C.E. vehicles would have greater ground clearance (like trucks/SUVs), or lower ground clearance I.C.E. vehicles would be lighter.
So if you were, for example, driving on compressed snow/ice and you had a low clearance, heavy vehicle (like a Tesla) you may sink deeper into the tire ruts subjecting everything between your left and right tires to an icy sledgehammer. (Or harmlessly high centering and being stuck)
