fairytale fabricated by tech grifters [...] the energy density of petrol is still so much higher than a modern Lithium-ion battery, how can electric vehicles be viable competitors? Simple, they cheat. [...] we’ve been gaslit [...] extra weight makes them far more dangerous in a crash and it means that you’re wasting a lot of energy [...] doubling the weight does 16x the damage to the roads

It should be noted, that the Model S is also a larger vehicle. The Model 3 is much closer in weight, lenght and offers also 5 seats and a similar amount of trunk space. But yes, in general, electric vehicles are heavier thanks to the weight of the battery. roughly ~300kg extra. (yes, the pack weighs even more but it also serves a structural purpose in many EVs.

more than a Range Rover.

Really depends on the model. A base model Evoque yes, a Defender is pretty much in the same weight class.
