Off the line, the e-tron GT quattro hits 100 km/h in 4.14 s versus 5.05 s for the Model Y Long Range AWD. At this point, the e-tron GT quattro leads by 0.91 s and sits roughly 13 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the e-tron GT quattro is doing 149 km/h against 143 km/h for the Model Y Long Range AWD. The gap is 0.70 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the e-tron GT quattro crosses the line in 12.36 s versus 13.27 s. The 0.91 s gap represents roughly 44 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the e-tron GT quattro continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 208 km/h versus 197 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the e-tron GT quattro finishes in 22.46 s versus 23.97 s, with a 1.51 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the e-tron GT quattro is capped at 245 km/h, the Model Y Long Range AWD at 217 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit — it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.95 kg/hp vs 5.22 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.41 seconds. The 0.91 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
