The 8th Gen Civic in heaviest config was about 2900lb. The lightest model 3 is about 3500lb. 600lb best case. The lighter config Civic was 2500lb (not usdm iirc) vs the heaviest model 3 being 4000lb.

Gen 8 was the 2000s, not 2010s.

I thought 2010 was 9th Gen as well but by Wikipedia, it's not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Civic_(eighth_generation... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Civic_(ninth_generation) But the 9th Gen is roughly the same weight, though the hatch is significantly heavier so the best case does lose about 230lb if op was talking 9th Gen.

Early 2000s is 7th gen.

I own a 9th Gen si so the weight (about 2800lb for the sedan) is just a figure I remember.
