Electric cars tend to be much heavier than ICEs. While your model 3 is lighter than the limit it is a small car that is just barely under the limit. While much larger F150 starts out at only slightly heavier.
EVs are heavier but by far the heaviest vehicles sold by volume are ICE SUVs and trucks. This should be a neutral measure based on the risky attribute since heavier vehicles are more dangerous to everyone regardless of the power source.
There are already a few EV trucks and SUVs - and they are significantly heavier in general. Maybe a diesel truck (which mostly doesn't even have a EV option yet) would be as heavy - I can't find any specs to compare but maybe your google-fu is better. A Tesla model3 is not much lighter than a F150 (lowest weight of the F150), but is clearly much smaller.
Yes, nobody’s arguing that EVs are light. My point was simply that because EVs are still a small percentage of the market there are more heavy ICE vehicles on the road because we’re three decades into consumers moving away from small cars. That Tesla 3 buyer was more likely to have also been considering an Escalade than a Honda Civic.
Since when is 4000 just barely under 5000?
A Dodge Charger is heavier than a Model 3, and it's also a small car.
