Off the line, the Model 3 Long Range RWD hits 100 km/h in 5.72 s versus 7.45 s for the MONA M03. At this point, the Model 3 Long Range RWD leads by 1.73 s and sits roughly 24 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model 3 Long Range RWD is doing 131 km/h against 126 km/h for the MONA M03. The gap is 1.20 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model 3 Long Range RWD crosses the line in 14.16 s versus 15.48 s. The 1.32 s gap represents roughly 56 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The MONA M03 maxes out at 200 km/h while the Model 3 Long Range RWD keeps accelerating towards 224 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 1.35 s.
At 1,000 metres, the Model 3 Long Range RWD finishes in 26.28 s versus 27.51 s, with just 1.23 s to spare. The MONA M03 fails to fully close the launch gap.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model 3 Long Range RWD is capped at 225 km/h, the MONA M03 at 200 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 (6.71 kg/hp vs 7.60 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.92 seconds. The 1.73 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
