Your hypothesis is basically correct. Since the motor is under no load, it will appear to spin out of control even with the smallest torque application, but in reality the torque being applied is very small… probably around 5Nm.

Trust me if it was truly spinning out of control with no load you’d know… it would reach max speed in 0.1 seconds and probably start tearing through the floor.

Most likely what’s happening is that the creep torque is applying a constant small torque and the wheel sensors are reading 0 continuously, so it continues to apply a constant small torque.
