To make you understand about electronic motors, use a light switch and a bulb for example. When its on, its on. When it is switch off, the power is still there, its just not transmitted.

There is a 1-gear transmission in a Tesla and I don't believe it is a torque multiplier.
What is really meant by 100% torque with an electric motor is the stall torque. The electric motor will stall (stop rotating) at full torque and will hold the torque (until it burns up). However, since the motor is not turning, the car is not moving, which makes the spec irrelevant.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
