Your 1 m/s2 deceleration theory has some flaws. You can be on B5 and the car can still accelerate - ie going down a steep hill. Furthermore, it is possible to achieve a 1m/s2 deceleration by coasting at speed up a hill to achieve 1 m/s2 deceleration (whatever gradient that works out to be)...

There was no deflection into the Charge zone on the dash gauge. At 170km/h, B5 did absolutely nothing, no doubt the motors would be able to generate power at that speed but the control system and battery have certain limitations and the brain's seemed to say no way.

I used a hill to accelerate to top speed and this exacerbated the effect of the speed limiting. Speed limited to 170km/h GPS (175 km/h indicated). It was still pulling and accelerating well and then noticeable limiting/deceleration was felt (briefly registered 171km/h and then limited to...
