My comment was "I would think 900lbs extra is a disadvantage in terms of range and operating cost".

So what is your question?

A platform is chassis + battery + components.

i4 is 4800lb, model 3 AWD is 3800lb, both around 300 miles.

So if i4 weight is reduced 900-1000lb, my thinking is that its range and operating cost will also be improved.
