Comment by reviewer notes Ford explains the GTPE delivers full power for about 5 seconds, then ramps it back to limit heating. Long term battery life is the goal.
So...
5 SECONDS of power is what you get, that gets you over 60mph and after that, not so much.
5SOP and then CTJ.
That is, you get "5 Seconds of Power" and then it "Cools The Jets" by design.

Low 12’s but the mph is so low. Is the computer pulling or does it 60ft that good? Not hating, it looks like my next daily driver and I’ll skip the drags with it. Good review!

The way Ford explained it, it gives full power for about 5 seconds then it ramps back the battery power to limit heating. It's done for long-term battery life in order for Ford to guarantee 70-plus percent battery life for 8 years. My guess is that as the technology improves, so will power.
