Well, given typical speed limits in the city and most of the country roads, neither ICE cars not EVs can really utilize their torque or acceleration. Sure, you can go somewhere quiet on a weekend and rev up, but people commuting or driving for groceries don't really accelerate more than ordinary.
I'm not trying to diminish EV capabilities btw. I'm just saying that "tire scare" is waaay overblown in media.
