Most of the roads 3+ miles from my house (that I drive) are 55 mph speed limit and rural, so fast accelerations hurt no one.
For me personally, I would consider Telsa, they: 1) could be sold in my state; 2) had service centers in my state; 3) didn't have marginal quality.
So, your use case is probably not that typical for people looking at high performing BMWs.

The problem with 0-60 times is that it's all about traction hooking up on really fast cars. And nobody does full boogie launches on the street. By far the best indicator of how fast a car is in the types of driving people do on the street is 1/4 mile trap speed. It's the best at telling how hard a car is accelerating "through the gears".
