Off the line, the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD hits 100 km/h in 4.55 s versus 4.94 s for the SQ2. The instant torque of 588 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. The 0.40 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD is doing 145 km/h against 133 km/h for the SQ2. The gap is 0.34 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD crosses the line in 12.83 s versus 13.47 s. The 0.64 s gap represents roughly 30 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 199 km/h versus 190 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD finishes in 23.43 s versus 24.55 s, with a 1.12 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (257 km/h), the SQ2 never recovers its launch deficit.
Electronically capped at 217 km/h, the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor - it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.36 seconds. The 0.40 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD wins (4,54 s vs 4,94 s).
