You can save almost 1/3 to 1/2 of the 900 lbs going to manual seats from electric in some cars. It is amazing how much some of the convenience features weigh. Power tailgates? Power seats? Power sunroof? Sunroof at all? Glass and motors are the enemy.

Ya, any feature that requires moving parts can be eliminated to save money and weight. But none of those are new (even if they are more common now).
