Turtle Help me eco mod my i3!

I have a 2014 i3 with about 75k miles but a brand new battery. I've already ordered new LED high beams, and it has the 429 turbine wheels. I'm planning on getting the Ecopia ep500s which are summer tires to replace my current ep600 all seasons when those break down. I've also reduced the weight by a few pounds not by making the car lighter weight but getting a new lighter backpack and bag stuff. also doing a few other things that I'll bullet point now

- LED High beams
- Summer EP500 tires
- Smaller stick antenna
- Sequential turn signals that are about 3 oz lighter and less power intensive
- Removing the back "E-Drive" & "i3" badges for 3oz less weight and a flatter back
- Vinyl stick on front license plate. smoother front and less weight
- Might use white painters tape when I drive up to my lake home which is the longest trip I regularly make. about 65miles. 20 of those miles are city miles so it's less intensive on an EV
