Off the line, the Model Y Long Range AWD hits 100 km/h in 5.05 s versus 8.36 s for the DS9 E-Tense 250. At this point, the Model Y Long Range AWD leads by 3.31 s and sits roughly 28 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model Y Long Range AWD is doing 143 km/h against 121 km/h for the DS9 E-Tense 250. The gap is 2.21 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model Y Long Range AWD crosses the line in 13.27 s versus 16.22 s. The 2.95 s gap represents roughly 118 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Model Y Long Range AWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 197 km/h versus 170 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model Y Long Range AWD finishes in 23.97 s versus 28.57 s, with a 4.60 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (235 km/h), the DS9 E-Tense 250 never recovers its launch deficit.
Electronically capped at 217 km/h, the Model Y 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.
With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (5.22 kg/hp vs 7.51 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.32 seconds. The 3.31 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
