For comparison, My Model Y replaced a VW Tiguan in my garage. They’re both roughly similar in size, have the same seating capacity and similar internal storage volume. From what I can find out through a quick search, my Model Y weighs about 450-500 lbs more than the Tiguan I had. It’s a non-trivial difference but not enormously heavier either. EVs do weigh more, no doubt about it.
The statements above that they wear out brakes more quickly has to be misleading. An EV driver uses the brakes far, far less than on an ICE car due to regenerative braking of the motors. My car’s 1-pedal driving is extremely effective and while I use the brakes, it’s about 90% less than with the Tiguan I had. Can’t comment on the effectiveness of this technology on other brands.
