Tesla Model 3 Performance vs Ferrari 488 GTB

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Ferrari 488 GTB is the quicker car, covering it in 10.24 s at 138.0 mph against the Tesla Model 3 Performance’s 11.79 s — a margin of 1.55 s. To 60 mph the Ferrari 488 GTB takes 2.58 s and the Tesla Model 3 Performance 3.30 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass, rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Questions

Is the Tesla Model 3 Performance or the Ferrari 488 GTB faster?
The Ferrari 488 GTB. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 10.24 s to the Tesla Model 3 Performance's 11.79 s, a margin of 1.55 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 2.58 s against 3.30 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Tesla Model 3 Performance 0-60 time?
The Tesla Model 3 Performance reaches 60 mph in 3.30 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 11.79 s at 116.0 mph.
What is the Ferrari 488 GTB 0-60 time?
The Ferrari 488 GTB reaches 60 mph in 2.58 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 10.24 s at 138.0 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Tesla Model 3 Performance trips the lights at 116.0 mph and the Ferrari 488 GTB at 138.0 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 8 of 10 for the Tesla Model 3 Performance and 10 of 11 for the Ferrari 488 GTB. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
