Model 3s weigh about the same as a a BMW 3 series. We're talking about 100 pound or so difference.

Batteries are heavy, period.

If you selectively choose the smallest Model 3 vs the heaviest 3 Series BMW, maybe it's 100lb. If you choose models with comparative ranges, it's as much as 800lbs. That is a massive difference.

The Jaguar i-pace weights about 800 lbs more than the f-pace despite being about the same length.

The model 3 and BMW aren't really that close either depending on which model you pick.
