Hybrid Camry is 3572 pounds maximum [1]

Weight of Model 3 is 3627 minimum up to 4,072 (extended range, extra batteries, which are heavy.) [1]

Model 3 has the lowest probability of injury in a crash of any car tested by NHTSA since 2011.[0]

Oops, my mistake on the weight, was looking at gross vehicle weight line rather than curb weight. Thanks for the correction.

Though the NHTSA thing you're citing is specifically what the NHTSA told Tesla they weren't allowed to claim.
