2024 Mustang curb weight is 3588 - 3949 lbs.

So you're suggesting you drive an EV that weighs approximately 1588 - 1949 lbs. Which EV is that?

At least in the U.S., the lightest EV starts at 2952 lbs (Fiat 500e).

There is at least one EV that is light enough, though I suspect it is not your daily driver.

Not OP, but also not US.

The Dacia Spring is available around here (Berlin), and while it's a bit more than that mass, it's close enough to be "about" a ton lighter.

Looks like 2300 lbs but if you're comparing base trims that's 1200 lbs lighter than the base Mustang. A bit of a stretch for "about". And also a nonsensical comparison. Different purposes, different class of vehicle, different regulatory / safety requirements.
