Driveway curb ramp recommendation

[JeffKeryk]

Our driveway is steeper then most due to living at the foot of the Santa Cruz Mountains; we ain't flat.
Our new car is lower because it is the Performance version and is pig heavy with the big battery.
The GS, TSX and Model 3 all scrape unless taken slowly at an extreme angle.

Any good experience with curb ramps for low cars?
Thanks in advance.

Maybe something similar to this or maybe use asphalt to build of the lower areas?

Or maybe backing up will reduce the issue? Sometimes that helps.

These are from Vevor who have a wide selection of ramps including for curbs and gutters. We are very happy with these, perfect for what we need. Only complaint is that they really stink for a while. Don't store them inside once you unwrap them, seriously.

Best option ....... who wants to mess around with ramps

Perhaps you would be interested in adjusting your driveway approach. It would not be cheap. But you would reduce/eliminate the bump of a typical driveway. I'm sure a local contractor would love to give you an estimate.

 

[JeffKeryk]

@Kansas_Ron I would love to do that, as well as replace my driveway. Many of the homeowners around here have new driveways.
Is the squeeze worth the juice? Perhaps, but I doubt I will go this way.

Ordered these ramps. Thanks for all who helped.

Does local zoning have any impact or restrictions? Personally I'd pour a shallow concrete lip at the edge of your driveway to make it easy to drive in/out. I take it your new model 3 scrapes bad driving in/out?

Dunno about city regulations. I have seen these curb ramps around town. They might even tell me to remove them, who knows?
The GS, TSX and Model 3 all scrape unless I take the dip on a steep angle, and do the crawl.
The M3P is lower than our 1st Model 3; they both scrape.

It's time to do something about it. I am pretty careful, but I loan my cars to the neighbors and others. They are not so careful... Oops!
My friend's i8 would not have a chance...

Typically the curb is the city’s property so you can’t make permanent modifications. I like the rubber ramps and have seen them in use before. You just risk them being stolen or hit by snow plows(not likely for you).
