Off the line, the Model 3 Long Range RWD hits 100 km/h in 5.72 s versus 6.58 s for the P7. At this point, the Model 3 Long Range RWD leads by 0.86 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model 3 Long Range RWD is doing 131 km/h against 127 km/h for the P7. The gap is 0.55 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model 3 Long Range RWD crosses the line in 14.16 s versus 14.81 s. The 0.65 s gap represents roughly 28 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Model 3 Long Range RWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 174 km/h versus 170 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model 3 Long Range RWD finishes in 26.28 s versus 27.64 s, with a 1.36 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the P7 is capped at 170 km/h, the Model 3 Long Range RWD at 225 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 (7.59 kg/hp vs 6.71 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.18 seconds. The 0.86 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
