Off the line, the Model X Long Range hits 100 km/h in 4.11 s versus 6.04 s for the iX xDrive40. At this point, the Model X Long Range leads by 1.93 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model X Long Range is doing 160 km/h against 127 km/h for the iX xDrive40. The gap is 1.37 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model X Long Range crosses the line in 11.92 s versus 14.36 s. The 2.44 s gap represents roughly 102 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Model X Long Range continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 224 km/h versus 175 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X Long Range finishes in 21.31 s versus 26.37 s, with a 5.06 s lead.
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 iX xDrive40 at 200 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 (3.51 kg/hp vs 7.48 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.74 seconds. The 1.93 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
