CONFIDENCE 90%Why this result?
The Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo is faster at 0-100 km/h, but the Tesla Model S P100D compensates at high speed thanks to higher peak power or top speed. At 400 m, Tesla Model S P100D leads by 0.14 s.

Model S P100D vs Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo: chronicle of a drag race at 250 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo hits 100 km/h in 2.83 s versus 2.85 s for the Model S P100D. The 0.03 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Model S P100D is doing 173 km/h against 169 km/h for the Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo. The gap is 0.06 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model S P100D crosses the line in 10.63 s versus 10.77 s. The 0.14 s gap represents roughly 8 m of track — barely a car length.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Model S P100D continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 240 km/h versus 236 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model S P100D finishes in 19.59 s versus 19.81 s, with a 0.22 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 vs 250 km/h), preventing any comeback.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Model S P100D and the Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo are governed to 249 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 (2.94 kg/hp vs 3.16 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 4.33 seconds. The 0.03 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Tesla Model S P100D and Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo are virtually tied to 100 km/h. The gap is under a tenth of a second — only the physics engine can settle it step by step.
