Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD vs Boxster S: chronicle of a drag race at 273 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD hits 100 km/h in 4.55 s versus 4.94 s for the Boxster S. The instant torque of 588 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD leads by 0.40 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD is doing 145 km/h against 145 km/h for the Boxster S. The gap is 0.22 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD crosses the line in 12.83 s versus 13.01 s. The 0.18 s gap represents roughly 9 m of track — barely a car length.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD maxes out at 217 km/h while the Boxster S keeps accelerating towards 273 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.13 s.
At 1,000 metres, the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD finishes in 23.43 s versus 23.47 s, with just 0.04 s to spare. The Boxster S fails to fully close the launch gap.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD is capped at 217 km/h, the Boxster S at 279 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.
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 7.23 seconds. The 0.40 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Tesla Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD is slightly faster than the Porsche Boxster S to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
