The instant torque does blow through tires though. Maybe twice as fast as a typical ICE vehicle? The acceleration on a Tesla is like very, very premium ICE cars that few people have (>300HP). This could easily be tuned out, but that would cripple the thrill, i.e., bad for sales.
Powerful ICE cars have this same problem. One of my cars is turbocharged and has a torque spike at 2500 RPMs that with shred the tires even in higher gears if the throttle pedal is to the floor when the engine crosses over that rev band. And my other one has a V8 that will squeal the tires anytime I am remotely aggressive with the throttle.
Car companies can tune the EVs to damp torque spikes, but there's no way around the fundamental fact that hard acceleration uses up tires. EVs accelerate hard, but they don't have to. That just happens to be a major selling point for most of them.
AWD works in their favor here though, since it's distributing the torque across four wheels, and traction control on EVs can be incredibly effective.
I'd be surprised if people in Model 3 Performances went through tires at nearly the rate that I do in similarly powerful ICE cars (~8-10k for driven wheels).
