While the drivetrain of the P85D was designed to withstand 700 lb-ft of torque, your standard dynamometer or “dyno” as it is typically called, is designed with combustion engines in mind. What happens when the two come together? One of them breaks, and it ain’t the Tesla. We’ve seen a few videos of Teslas and dynos not getting along, as measuring the torque and power of an electric car can prove difficult for dynos. Earlier re reported that one dyno mistakenly claimed that the P85D had over 850 lb-ft of torque, and another dyno said that the P85+ made over 2000 lb-ft of torque. This time though, the consequences were more than just a misreading. The P85D goes from a slow roll to full power, and dumping 700 lb-ft of instant torque onto the dyno and breaking one of the dyno belts.
