The cars aren't They're marginally heavier. a Model 3 is about the same weight as a BMW 3 series.

Depends on the battery.

Long range model 3s are 500 pounds heavier than standard range.

Industrywide, EVs (sedans) on average are 30% heavier than ICE cars.

A BMW 3-series if it's plug-in hybrid version, otherwise a Model 3 weighs a few hundred pounds more. That's the missing context you and Obtuse1 skipped over.
