Tesla's Decision to Cut FM Radio Sparks Backlash
Tesla's move to eliminate FM radio from its new Model 3 and Model Y trims has drawn criticism from broadcasters, who warn that it puts public safety and consumer choice at risk.
The change makes Tesla the first major automaker to remove over-the-air radio entirely, after phasing out AM tuners in 2020.
- The move comes as Congress considers the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act, a bipartisan bill that would require automakers to include AM radio as a standard safety feature.
- The bill has over 300 House co-sponsors and a Senate supermajority.
Free, local radio is not a luxury.
said NAB Senior Manager of Communications and Social Media Grace Whaley.
