"Much more" is misleading. The difference is usually 10%-20%, less than weight variance among gas cars. Tesla Model 3 weighs about the same as an ICE Ford Musta

"Much more" is misleading. The difference is usually 10%-20%, less than weight variance among gas cars. Tesla Model 3 weighs about the same as an ICE Ford Mustang. Tire particles are relatively heavy and don't stay in the air, unlike smaller molecules and emission from combustion. If weight was a real concern, non-business pickup trucks and large SUVs should be banned regardless of the engine they use.
