The tendons snap and will likely blow out the concrete.
ETA:
They make rebar scanners similar to stud finders. They usually start at a few hundred but it might be something a rental place carries.

If it’s post tension then there are cables run through the slab and they have been stressed really tight. If you drill through or damage a cable, they can pull up through a slab (not likely)or shoot out the side of the foundation(more likely).
