Tesla Model 3 Performance vs Tesla Model X

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Tesla Model X is the quicker car, covering it in 11.49 s at 124.1 mph against the Tesla Model 3 Performance’s 11.79 s — a margin of 0.30 s. To 60 mph the Tesla Model X takes 3.36 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.

Each car is trimmed to its own published figures — 8/10 for the Tesla Model 3 Performance, 5/5 for the Tesla Model X — so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.

Questions

Is the Tesla Model 3 Performance or the Tesla Model X faster?
The Tesla Model X. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 11.49 s to the Tesla Model 3 Performance's 11.79 s, a margin of 0.30 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 3.36 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 Tesla Model X 0-60 time?
The Tesla Model X reaches 60 mph in 3.36 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 11.49 s at 124.1 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Tesla Model 3 Performance trips the lights at 116.0 mph and the Tesla Model X at 124.1 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 5 of 5 for the Tesla Model X. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
