I'm going to go ahead and guess that the higher trap speed is due to the 2 speed transmission. The 'backwards dyno' effect of the electric motor isn't going to be as noticeable with the tranny attached, since it's likely keeping the RPMS down enough to take proper advantage of the instant HP and TQ; whereas the Tesla motor is spinning as fast as it possibly can where its power is then limited by friction and drag.
