- sokoloff 10y agoEarly PT6-114s (the turboprop engine on the early 208s) have a takeoff torque limit of 1658ft-lbs. Later PT6-114As (the current engine on the 208s) has a takeoff torque limit of 1865ft-lbs. The Tesla P85D has less than half of that. The Caravan has much less initial acceleration than a Tesla, but far more torque.
