There are lots of websites you can check out. Kelley's Blue Book is my goto source as they have an extensive listing. You can narrow down the list by make, year, engine type, mpg, features, the whole nine yards.
How can I easily find out a model of a car? I know the company and some specs but not the model.
Dodge unveiled the production version of the new 2024 Charger today. Comes in both 2-door and 4-door and will also get the Hurricane engines for 2025.

Row row row my boat.Close to 6000 lb in weight. Certainly keeping tradition up of having these vehicles be heavy porkers......
I’m guessing it will be a large difference. A Charger Hellcat Redeye is about 4500 lbs. I don’t see the TTI6 being heavier than that.What is the difference in weight between the electric, and the twin-turbo gas models?
The 100.5 kW battery is quite heavy. I am assuming that it weights over 1,000 pounds.Close to 6000 lb in weight. Certainly keeping tradition up of having these vehicles be heavy porkers......

Take a look at these batteries (per vehicle):

If you’re new to electric cars, you may assume that their batteries are like regular car batteries. Many people initially have that assumption, but itmotorandwheels.com
Given the trend to bigger and heavier cars anyway I don't see the drama.l unless they start becoming 6000kg.
I like the new Taycan Turbo GT. Fast…
The good thing about an EV is that all that weight is down low so it's less likely to drive over and crush you like a lifted truck would. Though if you have an unlucky meeting with a Hummer EV, I guess you're really screwed.I mean the big one for me is that, in my small light sports car, the odds of being killed just get higher and higher, compared to an accident with lighter ICE vehicles. A 4,000lb car hitting a 3,000lb car is going to be less drastic for the lighter car than a 5,500lb car hitting a 3,000lb car. They’re getting heavier and heavier and it’s just like, if you don’t get on the bandwagon of a heavier car, then the world is less safe. And if you do, then we’re just agreeing that heavier is okay and the battle for weight in the name of safety will continue.
Heavier cars also cause greater wear to our roads and will eat tires quicker.
My last daily (3 series) was totaled by a lifted truck rear ending me. It went over my frame rails and crash bar and invited its bumper to nearly touch my rear window. It drove home. I’d hate to even imagine what would have happened if the car was twice as heavy. I was in physical therapy for two years and I’m under 30.

Basic physics, it has more kinetic energy.It has more potential energy.

Yes, I do understand. The problem with making this car lighter is that it would become a lot more expensive. The only way to somewhat offset the heaviness of the battery would be by using lighter and more expensive materials for the frame, body panels, suspension, brakes, and so on... all without sacrificing the vehicle's integrity (making it unsafe, for example). The Cyber-truck relatively light compared to some of the other trucks, but its lightness comes at a heavy cost. It is expensive.No doubt.
But the Model S with its own 100 kWh battery weighs over 1000 lb. less than the new Charger EV. Same with the Lucid.
The monsterous Cybertruck is only 1,000 lb. heavier than the Charger.
But my main point with that jab is that the LX/LY Charger and Challenger were also porkers compared to the competition. Camaro and Mustang were around 3600 lb. The Challenger weighing close to 4500 lb. So the new Charger EV is keeping up with tradition on being fat pigs compared to other vehicles that they compete against.
Not only unsafe to other drivers and public, but possibly the ugliest thing on the road. It has outstanding aerodynamics, but the "covered" bed makes no sense. Also, one could tow a trailer that is heavily loaded with it, but "electric heavy-towing on road" is not the most economical way. Too much energy is lost from the battery when "heavy-towing," plus range loss. Hybrid technology would be a better idea (lighter, more room for cargo, and longer drive range). The same for ships, in which case engines with generators provide all the electricity needed for the electric motors, and even smaller batteries.The Cybertruck is also incredibly unsafe for pedestrians due to its sharp bonnet and lack of crumple zones in the front quarters. I doubt we will see it in Europe any time soon as Euro NCAP will fail it pretty quickly. It will need to be redesigned for this market, but then they won’t do that because it would mean new materials. Plus pickup trucks are not too popular in the domestic market and I doubt your average farmer, road worker is going to buy a Cybertruck over a Hilux or Navara.
