Standard Plus: 3627 lbs
Mid Range: 3686 lbs
Long Range: 4072 lbs

If the Mid Range does have a physically different battery than the Standard Range, it isn't much bigger. Part of that weight difference is probably in the sound system too, which jumps from "basic audio" and "upgraded audio - immersive sound" (I'm betting these are 6- and 8-speaker systems) to "Premium audio – 14 speakers, 1 subwoofer, 2 amps and immersive sound" in the Mid Range.

But then, they also list the same weight for Long Range RWD and AWD, so who knows.
