Off the line, the Model 3 Standard Range Plus hits 100 km/h in 5.81 s versus 8.36 s for the DS9 E-Tense 250. At this point, the Model 3 Standard Range Plus leads by 2.55 s and sits roughly 32 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model 3 Standard Range Plus is doing 129 km/h against 121 km/h for the DS9 E-Tense 250. The gap is 1.76 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model 3 Standard Range Plus crosses the line in 14.26 s versus 16.22 s. The 1.95 s gap represents roughly 80 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Model 3 Standard Range Plus continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 171 km/h versus 170 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model 3 Standard Range Plus finishes in 26.61 s versus 28.57 s, with a 1.96 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (235 vs 224 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Electronically capped at 225 km/h, the Model 3 Standard Range Plus never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor — it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.51 kg/hp vs 7.29 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.32 seconds. The 2.55 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
