Off the line, the EX40 Twin Motor AWD hits 100 km/h in 4.93 s versus 5.05 s for the Model Y Long Range AWD. The 0.13 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the EX40 Twin Motor AWD is doing 144 km/h against 143 km/h for the Model Y Long Range AWD. The gap is 0.05 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the EX40 Twin Motor AWD crosses the line in 13.14 s versus 13.27 s. The 0.12 s gap represents roughly 6 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The EX40 Twin Motor AWD maxes out at 180 km/h while the Model Y Long Range AWD keeps accelerating towards 217 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.02 s.
Around 590 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the Model Y Long Range AWD overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 37 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the Model Y Long Range AWD finishes in 23.97 s versus 25.14 s. The 1.17 s delta in favour of the Model Y Long Range AWD shows that top speed makes a clear difference.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the EX40 Twin Motor AWD is capped at 180 km/h, the Model Y Long Range AWD at 217 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.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (5.17 kg/hp vs 5.22 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.41 seconds. The 0.13 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
