Off the line, the Model 3 Performance hits 100 km/h in 3.04 s versus 3.29 s for the Model 3 Performance. At this point, the Model 3 Performance leads by 0.25 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model 3 Performance is doing 162 km/h against 157 km/h for the Model 3 Performance. The gap is 0.23 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model 3 Performance crosses the line in 11.12 s versus 11.49 s. The 0.36 s gap represents roughly 19 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Model 3 Performance continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 224 km/h versus 216 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model 3 Performance finishes in 20.48 s versus 21.21 s, with a 0.72 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (261 vs 261 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Model 3 Performance and the Model 3 Performance are governed to 261 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold — an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.62 kg/hp vs 4.03 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.03 seconds. The 0.25 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
