Try it in manual gear shift mode, the acceleration will be slightly slower but more 'consistent'.
Agree that it's probably the transmission. Experiment manual shift and stay at M1 or M2 to test the throttle response. Bear in mind, it's still not a Tesla so no instant torque like a hybrid or electric car.
