The weight thing is absolutely real. You can’t just compare two completely different cars! Equivalent models usually gain a few hundred pounds in the EV version.
The ford edge is the same class of car as a Tesla model y. They are, in fact, the same dimensions (off by and inch or two). I chose it specifically because it's an equivalent model.
If you want to complain, you should be pointing out the fact that I used the model y, which is (currently) best in class for EV weight. That's primarily due to Tesla's use of the battery as a structural component.
Equivalent cars from the same companies are often gaining hundreds of pounds (or more) because they are using the same platform as their ICE counterparts rather than using a more obvious skateboard design. The older ford focus being one of the worst examples of this.
