Broadcast Leaders Criticize Tesla's FM Radio Decision
Tesla's decision to remove FM radio from its new Model 3 and Model Y trims has sparked 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.
The NAB, a supporter of the AM Act, is among those concerned about the exclusion of FM radio from Tesla's new models.
