Off the line, the Model X P100D hits 100 km/h in 3.05 s versus 7.24 s for the Bmw i3 (120 Ah). At this point, the Model X P100D leads by 4.19 s and sits roughly 23 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model X P100D is doing 167 km/h against 122 km/h for the Bmw i3 (120 Ah). The gap is 3.00 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model X P100D crosses the line in 10.97 s versus 15.40 s. The 4.44 s gap represents roughly 171 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Model X P100D continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 231 km/h versus 150 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X P100D finishes in 20.13 s versus 29.80 s, with a 9.67 s lead.
The Model X P100D features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Bmw i3 (120 Ah)’s RWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model X P100D is capped at 249 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Bmw i3 (120 Ah) 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 7.47 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 4.19 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
