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.

On average compared to comparable cars in its class i agree. A lot of camrys and corollas in that. But i just think it's funny we never see anyone complain about a 3 series eating up tires the way a model 3 would and they weigh basically the same thing.

SUVs and trucks weigh 1000-2000lbs more than my car does. Weird that I’ve never heard anyone crying about that weight discrepancy.
