I remain convinced that the cars will be heavier than "advertised" when real vehicles are available to be weighed by interested third parties.

Would love to be wrong.

Official weight is known already. "Leergewicht EU" is with all fluids (90% fuel that is), 75kg (165lbs) driver and cargo. 1572kg is 3466lbs, that's 3301lbs with all fluids, no driver, steel brakes. That's not marketing or rumour, but official (legal) numbers. US official numbers might be slightly higher due to 100% fuel and better standard equipment.
