True. A better consideration is the Nissan Rogue at ~3500 lbs. That's a 1000 lb. difference, which is more. But the GP didn't bother to mention the road-wear differences between, for example, the Ford Edge and Ford Escape, which also have a 1000 lb. difference between them. So it sounds disingenuous to single out EVs here.

I don't think the typical Tesla Model Y buyer is likely cross-shopping against a Rogue.

Unless they're dead-set on an EV, they're much more likely cross-shopping the Model Y ($48K base MSRP) against a luxury ($57K base, $62K base, $67K base) SUV than an economy ($27K base MSRP) SUV. If they are dead-set on an EV, they might cross-shop against the Ariya ($43K base, but also 4323 lbs).
