Well, I mention it only because I get the comment a lot and my last car was a (two door) Wrangler. You could compare it to trucks, but it's just not perceived as a particularly heavy vehicle even relative to normal cars.

The vibe I've got from talking to people is that they think the Model 3 (or Teslas in general) are significantly heavy relative to normal consumer vehicles. It's pretty surprising to them that even a 2 door Jeep Wrangler is actually heavier.

I think most people would be surprised just at how heavy a Jeep Wrangler is to begin with. Without even comparison, most of the 2-doors don't look like they'd be that heavy.

Same with my 1-series. It's obscenely heavy for how small it is.

Yep. Exactly my point, although honestly it didn't occur to me that the weight of the Wrangler might be an outlier.
