Not only in wind tunnels but also on both low and high speed test
tracks.  More testing than you'd easily believe.  All manufacturers
do it.  German drivers and an will drive at these speeds - not only
in flat calms but also in crosswinds.

Passing your first ever big German truck at 250kph in a crosswind is
an experience.
