Off the line, the Model X P100D hits 100 km/h in 3.05 s versus 3.33 s for the Model S P85D. At this point, the Model X P100D leads by 0.28 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model X P100D is doing 167 km/h against 167 km/h for the Model S P85D. The gap is 0.21 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model X P100D crosses the line in 10.97 s versus 11.17 s. The 0.21 s gap represents roughly 12 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Model X P100D continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 231 km/h versus 232 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X P100D finishes in 20.13 s versus 20.31 s, with a 0.18 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) vs 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Model X P100D and the Model S P85D are governed to 249 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold - an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.24 kg/hp vs 3.24 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 4.75 seconds. The 0.28 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Model X P100D wins (3,05 s vs 3,33 s).
Model X P100D goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,05 seconds (calibrated simulation).
