Most EVs weigh about that much, to the point that some cities are considering amending "No trucks" signs to also say no EVs.


Do they? Model X weighs 5600lbs, here - https://www.caranddriver.com/tesla/model-x - and that's bigger than any of the other, more popular, Teslas other than the Cybertruck.

Far cry from 8-10000. Or even 7-8000.


   Tesla 3 - up to 4065. 
   Tesla S - up to 4941.
   Tesla X - up to 5531.
   Tesla Y - up to 4416.
   Chevy Bolt - 3563.
   Leaf - up to 3853.
   Mach-E - up to 4920.
   ID.4 - up to 4848.
   E-Tron - up to 5754.
   BMW iX - up to 5659.
   Taycan - up to 5121
   Kona EV - up to 3715.


I like how you just excluded all the comparable EVs. Here they are for completeness, most coming close to or topping out the standard 7k where they will post "No Trucks" signs.

   Ford Lightning - 6,893
   Hummer EV - 9,063
   Rivian R1T - 7,148
   Lordstown Endurance - 6,450
   Chevrolet Silverado EV - 8,532
   RAM 1500 REV - est. 7,500
   Alpha Wolf - 7,088


Your claim was about “Most EVs”. I listed the most popular EVs, without edits.


"No truck" signs are for semi trucks, not pickup trucks. These semis (just the truck, no trailer) weigh 2-3x more than an average pickup truck/Cybertruck and 3-5x more than an average EV.
