Accelerating Force on Slipping Tire

I’m wrestling with the problem of a car accelerating from rest whose engine is outputting a torque that would result in a force at the point of contact between the wheel and the ground that is greater than the force of static friction. From my understanding, the wheel would slip, and if the torque remains the same, would do so indefinitely (never gaining full traction). From this, the only force between the contact surface and the tire would be kinetic friction, but is this going to accelerate the car forward? I guess I’m not sure if the car would accelerate at all.
