Tesla Model X P90D vs Lamborghini Urus SE : which one is faster?

The launch: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the Model X P90D hits 100 km/h in 3.32 s versus 3.46 s for the Urus SE. The instant torque of 967 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Model X P90D leads by 0.13 s and sits roughly 1 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the Model X P90D is doing 166 km/h against 166 km/h for the Urus SE. The gap is 0.11 s. The gap remains stable from the start.

At 400 metres standing start, the Model X P90D crosses the line in 11.18 s versus 11.30 s. The 0.12 s gap represents roughly 7 m of track — barely a car length.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the Model X P90D continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 231 km/h versus 229 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X P90D finishes in 20.35 s versus 20.49 s, with a 0.14 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (312 km/h), the Urus SE never recovers its launch deficit.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model X P90D is capped at 249 km/h, the Urus SE at 312 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.

Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 4.97 seconds. The 0.13 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
