To be fair BMW did try the “lightweight EV” thing with the i3 and its CFRP bones in a dedicated platform. Iirc my i3s is ~3000 lbs. Whether due to the styling or modest range or whatever, people weren’t interested. I don’t think as many people actually care about the weight as forum posts might suggest. For heading out to Subway for a sandwich or taking the kids to school, the weight of the car is nearly irrelevant. Nobody ever brings it up in the context of a minivan or Accord, not sure why it appears to be a big deal here for a car that is clearly intended to be a daily driver.
