Where are you getting those numbers from? Tesla's specs pages say 1777/1840kg and 1911/1981kg
for the standard/long-range Model 3 and Model Y respectively:

The Model 3 is undoubtedly still a heavy car, but the bulk of that is the battery pack, so the weight will go down as battery tech improves. Maybe it already has compared to your source?

You are absolutely correct, it was the Model S that I mistook for the Model Y from the source https://insideevs.com/news/527966/electric-cars-from-heavies...
I wonder what made the Parisians choose 2 tonnes, lowering the limit could certainly be justified.
The Model 3 and Y weigh twice that of my current drive, which is quite the difference.
The Tesla model 3 is right on that limit with 1.980 Kg, whereas the model Y weighs 2.4 tonnes.
In Denmark the model Y is by far the most sold car in 2023, with 1 out of every 10 cars being a model Y.
So I think it will be an uphill battle to enact the same law in Denmark.
