Electrics going for maximum acceleration usually don't do that, because once the wheel is spinning relative to the pavement, friction is reduced and there's less acceleration. Watch videos of Teslas in launch mode.
The burning rubber is to heat the tyre rubber to get the rubber to maximum adhesion, just before doing the run.

Maximum acceleration occurs with some tyre slip - spinning a little but not a lot: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Masayoshi-Tomizuka/publ... https://www.google.co.nz/search?q=tire+adhesion+versus+slip+...
I am guessing you know that, but just clarifying.
