I ride a 750 pound motorcycle. It has similar issues with chewing through tires unless you get a super long life, hard compound tire, which has its drawbacks on grip for cornering and braking. However I cannot lie to myself or anyone about how heavy it is. If it lays down, I have to pick up 750 pounds worth of bike.

No such option with EVs though. If your vehicle is nearly a ton heavier than a similarly sized ICE vehicles, you may never think about how that weight affects things and then comes the surprise that it affects all kinds of things.

EVs are cool. They are not a 1:1 replacement for ICE yet.

EV's are nowhere close to "nearly a ton heavier".

The Ford Lightning with the long range battery are about 1,000 pounds heavier than a gasoline F-150 SuperCrew.

A Telsa Model 3 is about 400 pounds heavier than a BMW 3.

Obviously there's variance between models but comparing the Hummer EV to the H3 it's nearly double the weight, nearly two tons heavier.
