Off the line, the Model X P90D hits 100 km/h in 3.32 s versus 3.34 s for the RS e-tron GT. The 0.02 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Model X P90D is doing 166 km/h against 167 km/h for the RS e-tron GT. The gap is 0.01 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the RS e-tron GT crosses the line in 11.17 s versus 11.18 s. The 0.01 s gap represents roughly 1 m of track
Past 400 metres, nothing changes. Same ceiling, same acceleration, same trajectory - both rivals run in formation to the line. The 0.08 s gap at 1,000 metres confirms what the specs already suggested: on track, they’re interchangeable. The real contest happens elsewhere - range, comfort, charging network reliability.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Model X P90D and the RS e-tron GT 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 3.25 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 4.78 seconds. The 0.02 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Model X P90D and RS e-tron GT are neck and neck (3,32 s vs 3,34 s, no significant gap).
Model X P90D goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,32 seconds (calibrated simulation).
Model X P90D: 762 hp, ratio 3,24 kg/hp. RS e-tron GT: 738 hp, ratio 3,25 kg/hp.
Model X P90D: 250 km/h. RS e-tron GT: 250 km/h.
