0-60 (MPH) is a benchmark that Tesla has optimized. Many cars do 0-100 and 0-120 much quicker than the Tesla does. Additionally, the highest-end supercars (P1, 918, LaFerrari, Regera) have electric assist as "torque fill" - even the relatively humble NSX and i8 use electric motors to assist the traditional combustion engine to aid in acceleration.
Warning! Personal anecdote ahead! As a (poor) car enthusiast, I look for an aggregate of numbers, but ultimately it comes down to that ineffable quality of "feel". For me, personally, 0-60 times aren't as important as handling quality. Yes, I've driven a P85D (Ludicrous mode) "in anger". In sports car terms it's a one-trick pony. It's a hell of a trick, but it's not for me.
