Off the line, the Model S P85D hits 100 km/h in 3.33 s versus 8.92 s for the 600e 156. At this point, the Model S P85D leads by 5.59 s and sits roughly 28 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model S P85D is doing 167 km/h against 115 km/h for the 600e 156. The gap is 3.79 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model S P85D crosses the line in 11.17 s versus 16.73 s. The 5.56 s gap represents roughly 198 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Model S P85D continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 232 km/h versus 150 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model S P85D finishes in 20.31 s versus 31.23 s, with a 10.92 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model S P85D is capped at 249 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) 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 (3.24 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 5.59 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.
