Answer:

The battery in the Tesla weighs more

Explanation:

Mass = Density × volume

Density of gasoline = 748.90002 Kg/m³

Volume of tank in m³ = 83.2791/1000 = 0.0832791 m³

Mass of gasoline in F-150 = 748.90002 × 0.0832791 = 62.3771 Kg

Converting mass in Kg to lb

Mass of gasoline (lb) = 62.3771 × 2.204623

Mass of gasoline (lb) = 137.51 lb

Weight of battery in Tesla = 1062 lb

Comparing the two shows that the battery of the Tesla weighs more.
