I wouldn't call it biased, I'd just say it demonstrates the advantages of the Tesla in an immediately understandable way.

The instant torque isn't all that's at work there, there's also the ability of the motors to apply power in a way that keeps traction. It's the same reason a rear wheel drive Tesla car with all season tires can maintain more snow traction than ICE vehicles of the same config.

It's a tarmac road, the differential power of the electric motors is most likely negligible. And I view these demonstrations the same way as I view those demonstrations on infomercials; sure the product can do that one amazing thing, but always remember you're watching a demonstration setup by the people trying to sell you that product. They have a vested interest in only showing the ways their product looks best.
