It doesn’t run at 127hp for an hour, you’d be going stupid fast.
My Nissan Leaf (which is decidedly more brick-shaped than a Tesla) cruises at 50mph at something like 10-15hp, or less than 12kW.
It takes surprisingly small amounts of power to maintain cruise speed on level ground.
(Obviously cruise power scales with the cube(?) of speed, so it’s not like 10x power gets you 10x speed)
