This is a good analysis. I did a stupid try at this earlier just assuming constant power. But there is another dimension to the numbers: the inverter may have different higher power/torque ratings for acceleration as opposed to constant load. That is, the capacity of the magnetics to support a given flux may be different than the capacity to remove heat.
The inverter may be able to do a 0-60 run without even heating up much. The trick is embedding an accurate dynamic model of the inverter semiconductor junction temperature. Then, you run at constant junction temperature instead of (an artifically low) constant power/current.
