Canon, if you're a pro photographer. I assume Nikon has a similar support system for professionals. It's pretty amazing. Test/Evaluation loans on $15k lenses for weeks, emergency equipment loaners, dedicated support at major events (Superbowl, etc.).
Yes, but I believe you may need to be in a special "pro photographers club" that each of these manufacturers offer to get this kind of service. They don't do it for the average consumer.
Summary: you only get loaners and and such once you've purchased "20 CPS points" worth of stuff, which seems to roughly amount to $12-15K worth of gear.
It's a lot less than 12-15k for the Gold tier; more like a couple $1-2k bodies and $3k of lenses (which could be used), which is pretty standard for even the lowest end professional. The $100/yr membership at that tier is more of an issue.
For the top tier, it's probably $10-20k of gear, and $500/yr.

I guess Tesla buyers cannot be considered "average consumers" either :)
