This is just Tesla marketing. Usually companies just dump money into marketing campaigns. Musk dumps it into engineering instead.

Remember when they sent one into space? Same thing, everyone in the world is talking about it without spending a single cent in ads.

If you get an Apple Tv also get the Infuse app. It is able to play anything that is in your home network - smb, plex, jellyfin. I also recommend running iSponsorBlockTV if you use the YouTube app, it auto mutes and auto skips ads
