Off the line, the Model 3 Standard Range Plus hits 100 km/h in 5.81 s versus 6.31 s for the P7i. At this point, the Model 3 Standard Range Plus leads by 0.50 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model 3 Standard Range Plus is doing 129 km/h against 129 km/h for the P7i. The gap is 0.36 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model 3 Standard Range Plus crosses the line in 14.26 s versus 14.56 s. The 0.30 s gap represents roughly 13 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The P7i maxes out at 200 km/h while the Model 3 Standard Range Plus keeps accelerating towards 224 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.16 s.
Around 780 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the P7i overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 24 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the P7i finishes in 26.38 s versus 26.61 s. The 0.23 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the P7i is capped at 200 km/h, the Model 3 Standard Range Plus 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 (7.18 kg/hp vs 7.29 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.78 seconds. The 0.50 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
