At the launch of the latest Tesla Roadster, Elon Musk announced the car will have "10,000 Nm of torque." It's a mind blowing figure, and it's magnitudes above other production cars. But there's a catch. On Tesla's website, it's shown that the torque figure (7,376 lb-ft) provided is "wheel torque." Wheel torque is influenced by gearing, as this video will demonstrate.
