Honda Civic range: 384-496mi

Tesla Model 3 range: 310mi (which is on the upper end)

Sure, this will get better as battery tech improves. Everyone knows that. But we're not talking about the future, we're talking about right now.

I’m not sure who brought up the point of range.

The Model 3 either meets your driving range needs or it doesn’t.

The gp was talking about electric cars being heavier. Then the parent said "not that much heavier", so I'm saying "we're not comparing equal things". Unsurprisingly, things aren't just an overly simple comparison. Though it isn't complex either.
