| ▲ | rootusrootus 15 hours ago | parent [-] | | Typical EVs are about 10-15% heavier than the comparable ICE. Yes it makes a difference, but only marginally. Normal drivers without a lead foot get 10s of thousands of miles from tires, just like ICE vehicles. Also, few EVs that are not pickups have 100 kWh batteries; more typically 60-75. | | |

| ▲ | seanmcdirmid 13 hours ago | parent [-] | | A mazda 3 is a sub-compact, and a Model 3 is a mid-size. At least compare it to a mazda 6, which is also a mid-size: 2024 Mazda6: 3,437 to 3,582 lbs | | |
| ▲ | zeusk 12 hours ago | parent [-] | | model3 is a mid-size sedan much like mazda3; even the marketing depts agree, but sure whatever makes you happy. 2024 Tesla Model S: 4,560 to 4,776 lbs | | |
