Broadcast Leaders Criticize Tesla's Decision to Cut FM Radio
Tesla's decision to eliminate FM radio from its new Model 3 and Model Y trims has been met with criticism from broadcasters.
Industry leaders argue that this move puts public safety and consumer choice at risk, highlighting the need for legislation to protect broadcast access in cars.
- Tesla is the first major automaker to remove over-the-air radio entirely.
- The company began phasing out AM tuners in 2020.
The timing of this decision coincides with Congress considering the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act, a bipartisan bill that would require automakers to include AM radio as a standard safety feature.
Free, local radio is not a luxury.
Autor's summary: Tesla removes FM radio from new models.
