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.


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

Its not some complicated thing to figure out. Truck and SUV tires are larger, wider, and have higher load ratings meaning they are designed to take on the added weight and not degrade as fast.
