The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the Model X Long Range hits 100 km/h in 4.30 s versus 5.13 s for the Q6 SUV e-tron quattro 315 kW. At this point, the Model X Long Range leads by 0.83 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the Model X Long Range is doing 158 km/h against 143 km/h for the Q6 SUV e-tron quattro 315 kW. The gap is 0.72 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the Model X Long Range crosses the line in 12.14 s versus 13.30 s. The 1.16 s gap represents roughly 56 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the Model X Long Range continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 221 km/h versus 197 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X Long Range finishes in 21.65 s versus 24.10 s, with a 2.45 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model X Long Range is capped at 249 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Q6 SUV e-tron quattro 315 kW at 210 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 (3.67 kg/hp vs 5.43 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Unknown).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.43 seconds. The 0.83 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
