I wouldn’t. The regulations are outdated and for heavier cars like Evs you need all the stopping power you can get.
- spaceisballer 6y agoI always thought BEVs would be way heavier and I remember looking my model 3 up before I bought it and was surprised. Did a quick look again and here are the curb weights I found. Tesla Model 3: 3,686lbs Audi A4 2020: 3417-3627 2020 BMW 3-Series: 3582
