Test drive gone bad?

Once the oil has overheated and it hits limp mode, it needs to cool down, then get shut off for a few minutes to reset.

I was thinking the guy ahead of you could have got it hot, hit limp mode, drove around slow for 10-15 minutes, temps come back down, it stays in limp mode until you shut it off and reset it. Gets to dealer, you start it before it has reset. Temp is still fine, but still stuck in limp mode. Next time it gets shut off longer, resets, then is working just fine.

it wasnt hot enough out that day to get it close to 300 unless the guy before me was holding it at 6k the entire test drive.
