Christ sent out his followers to preach but not to go "door to door"
Luke 10:5-7
And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. [6] And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. [7] And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.

I just love how anachronistic the image of 1st century Jews "preaching door to door" is.
There was even an WT illustration a few years back of some disciples carrying around a leather satchel full of scrolls - like they were going to place them at the doors!
It would not be that much further of a stretch to show a "car group", "driving to the territory" - maybe in a donkey cart!

Nope.
Any prooftexts for going door-to-door is mistranslated and misinterpreted.

There is no evidence that he did.
