I’m guessing that 10,000 Nm or 7376 ft lb torque are estimates!
Heck, even top fuelers cannot measure torque in their “cars”’. It’s all mathematics and assumption...
Electric motors are torquey as hell but I’m guessing someone fat thumbed a digit or two..
I found an online conversion that said 10,000 newton meters is 7375.6214927727 foot pounds, but torque measurements are always in pound feet. As we know foot pounds is a measurement of energy. That's almost as much as a top fuel dragster so it could be a mistake. If it's 8,000 nm instead of 10,000 that would still be an incredible amount of torque. Even if it was only 1,000 nm it would still be 737.6 lb-ft which is nothing to sneeze at. All we can do is wait and see what it really does.
