Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD vs Boxster S Black Edition: chronicle of a drag race at 263 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 4.98 s for the Boxster S Black Edition. 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 0.44 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 Black Edition. The gap is 0.24 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 13.03 s. The 0.20 s gap represents roughly 10 m of track — two to three car lengths.
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 Black Edition keeps accelerating towards 263 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.15 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 Black Edition fails to fully close the launch gap.
What the numbers don’t tell you
The Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Boxster S Black Edition’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 Y Juniper Long Range AWD is capped at 217 km/h, the Boxster S Black Edition at 275 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 7.25 seconds. The 0.44 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Tesla Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD has a clear edge over the Porsche Boxster S Black Edition to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
