Ok, so we have several modes and submodes available for the Tesla Roadster power. Where does the "Power Limited" mode fit within the spectrum? I'm talking about when the light on the instrument cluster is lit (which, thankfully, I've never seen).
ft-lbs of torque per Mode
295 Performance (white)
273 Performance (red)
265 Standard
??? Range (50% power, not a torque limit?)
??? Power Limited
??? Valet (is this different than Range or Reserve modes?)
??? Reserve
Note, I'm not sure whether the last few "Modes" are literally distinct, but since they have different names I'm wondering whether they have unique torque and/or power limits.
Also, since the Roadster controls motor torque in proportion to the accelerator pedal, how does this relate to power? Is there a fixed ratio between power and torque, or do certain conditions allow them to be independent? I must admit that I have not stared at the Torque, Power, and G-force display long enough to tell, and my school physics classes are a bit too long passed to recall.
