Off the line, the Model S P100D hits 100 km/h in 2.85 s versus 7.48 s for the Megane E-Tech Electric. At this point, the Model S P100D leads by 4.63 s and sits roughly 24 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model S P100D is doing 173 km/h against 123 km/h for the Megane E-Tech Electric. The gap is 3.44 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model S P100D crosses the line in 10.63 s versus 15.59 s. The 4.96 s gap represents roughly 191 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Model S P100D continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 240 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model S P100D finishes in 19.59 s versus 29.16 s, with a 9.57 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model S P100D is capped at 249 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h, the Megane E-Tech Electric at 160 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 (2.94 kg/hp vs 8.11 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.47 seconds. The 4.63 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
