Haha sorry no my spread sheet says my car weights 2655 and it actually weighted 2661 in nashville. My bad. I wish it was 2561. That would be love!

Legally I don't see a AP1 with a half tank of gas being lower then 2580 and that's with the lightest parts. Anything less then that I'd question the set-up and whats all on it or atleast the scales reading low

Any recommendation for a good "cheap" scale?

Bear in mind that the pre-vin split MY2000 ap1 will be the lightest ap1 you can build since it could be ordered without a windscreen between the seats, and it has a different chassis/cabin wiring harness than the later my2000 ap1. It wont be much lighter, but it is something.

I question that number My self but I'm within 6 lbs of the actual weight on my spread sheet so I'm not going to question it.

It's suppose to be the weight off the tool kit, and spare tires stuff.

I found that number posted a couple times so I just used it. Having a spread sheet within a gallon of gas on weight is good enough for me. Although if I was to start a fresh build I would weight every part myself and not trust people online. Clearly they are very close but I wish I could say Forsure it's right.

Most newer digital scales are pretty acurate when you use the weigh yourself, weigh yourself and the part, do some math method.
