    Yeah that was a hyperbole.

    Still, there is a weight penalty depending on how much range they try to squeeze in.

    And I’m one of those people that gets super salty about ICE cars getting so heavy too, especially crossovers and city SUVs that everyone seems to run now. A small or mid sized SUV should not be 4,000lb with modern tech, ICE or not.
