Everything I could have said about the head to head between Tesla and Ford has been said by others in the comments. Tesla, besides being in multiple industries, is so far ahead in EV vehicles it's like watching a horse race in which the winning horse is crossing the finish line will the rest of the pack is just entering the far turn.

But I'd like to address your mention of the Netflix vs. Disney+ competition. It is paltry. Netflix is a behemoth while I think the Disney name actually hurts the company in streaming. I'm an adult with Netflix, Prime and HBO Max. In my mind Disney is a kids' service and I have no interest. I suspect I am not alone in that thinking. Apple+ is another matter but as mostly a copy cat it probably will be pleasantly forever nipping at Netflix' heels.

I was at a party recently in which a movie theater manager told me Netflix would be killed by the gang of other streamers. Disney alone wil kill it, the theater manager insisted. I noted that in 2021 Netflix grossed $29 billion, ten billion dollars more than the top ten grossing movies of all time. Netflix will do some number like that again this year while movies can't yank up an annual repeat of the industry's all-time top-ten. My move theater manager's face paled.

And this says nothing about movie theaters being at diminished capacity relying primarily by big special-effects movies that are getting increasing dull and being more of he same old thing year after year. In the meantime, the streamers can show any kind of movie they want and will have some viewers for every one which supports and bolsters each streaming service for years to come..
