Off the line, the Model Y Long Range AWD hits 100 km/h in 5.05 s versus 5.16 s for the Bmw 745e. Despite the faster sprint time, the Bmw 745e is 2 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
At 200 metres, the Model Y Long Range AWD is doing 143 km/h against 139 km/h for the Bmw 745e. The gap is 0.03 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model Y Long Range AWD crosses the line in 13.27 s versus 13.37 s. The 0.10 s gap represents roughly 5 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the Model Y Long Range AWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 197 km/h versus 196 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model Y Long Range AWD finishes in 23.97 s versus 24.07 s, with a 0.11 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h), the Bmw 745e never recovers its launch deficit.
On paper, the Bmw 745e combines 394 hp, 600 Nm and 2,000 kg - a clear theoretical edge over the Model Y Long Range AWD. Yet the Model Y Long Range AWD launches quicker. At standstill, both motors deliver peak torque from 0 rpm: the decisive factor is no longer raw power, but available grip. If the Model Y Long Range AWD has a better traction coefficient (tyres, weight distribution, traction control calibration), it puts down more force despite inferior specs - exactly what the simulation reflects, calibrated on manufacturer 0-100 km/h times.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw 745e is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) 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 plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (5.08 kg/hp vs 5.22 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.80 seconds. The 0.11 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.
