The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the G6 hits 100 km/h in 3.80 s versus 5.05 s for the Model Y Long Range AWD. At this point, the G6 leads by 1.25 s and sits roughly 15 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the G6 is doing 152 km/h against 143 km/h for the Model Y Long Range AWD. The gap is 0.96 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the G6 crosses the line in 12.03 s versus 13.27 s. The 1.24 s gap represents roughly 59 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The G6 maxes out at 200 km/h while the Model Y Long Range AWD keeps accelerating towards 217 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap is down to 1.43 s from 1.24 s at 400 metres.

At 1,000 metres, the G6 finishes in 22.89 s versus 23.97 s, with just 1.08 s to spare. The Model Y Long Range AWD 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 G6 is capped at 200 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 (4.41 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 1.25 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
