Off the line, the Model 3 Performance hits 100 km/h in 3.29 s versus 8.92 s for the 600e 156. At this point, the Model 3 Performance leads by 5.63 s and sits roughly 30 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model 3 Performance is doing 157 km/h against 115 km/h for the 600e 156. The gap is 3.73 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model 3 Performance crosses the line in 11.49 s versus 16.73 s. The 5.25 s gap represents roughly 188 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Model 3 Performance continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 216 km/h versus 150 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model 3 Performance finishes in 21.21 s versus 31.23 s, with a 10.02 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model 3 Performance is capped at 261 km/h, the 600e 156 at 150 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 (4.03 kg/hp vs 10.06 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 14.15 seconds. The 5.63 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
