The Tesla Model 3 Long Range weighs 1823 kg.

The BMW M340i xDrive weighs about 1818 kg.

Seeing as these two cars are similar in size, capacity, and performance (0-60 mph in 4.2 s), it is nice to see that the electric option weighs about the same as an ICE car of similar specs.

The "0-60 mph in 4.2 s" is doing a lot of the heavy lifting in this comparison.

The BMW is a lot nicer than the Model 3.

It also costs twice as much while using several times the amount of energy.

That’s more a consequence of the absurd micro-hybrid setups modern ICE use to cheat emission measures. The 2015 340i weighed 300kg less
