Dimensionally and in terms of luggage capacity the Model 3 and Camry line up favourably. The Tesla is 110kg heavier, but is dimensionally similar and has a lot more luggage capacity than the Camry. I’m not going to touch performance as that’s just embarrassing for the Toyota.
You’re right! I didn’t look at the dimensions or the difference between the American “executive compact” class and normal compact cars lol.
E: I actually went looking and aside from being a foot or so narrower, the Corolla is closer to the model 3 in every dimension including luggage space (they may have used the hatchback in the measurement I looked at, the sedan isn’t popular in metric countries).

Electric cars are heavier than their ICE counterparts sure. But the driving force behind cars getting heavier is cars simply getting bigger.
Outside of a few niche cases there’s simply no reason for vehicles to be hitting 2.5-3 tonnes.
