2024 Mazda3 Sedan: 3,124 to 3,395 lbs

2024 Tesla Model3: 3,862 to 4,054 lbs

That's 20% heavier, and it gets worse when you look at EVs not built from ground up by legacy manufacturers.

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

Mazda 6 is mid sized, Mazda 3 is compact, whether it has a tech back or not is irrelevant. You are basically comparing a Honda civic to an Honda accord and saying they are the same size.

What are you talking about? Model 3 is larger in every single dimension, in some by a lot.
