Broadcast Leaders Criticize Tesla's FM Radio Decision
Tesla's decision to eliminate FM radio from its new Model 3 and Model Y trims has sparked criticism from broadcasters.
Industry leaders warn 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 with over 300 House co-sponsors and a Senate supermajority.
Free, local radio is not a luxury.
The NAB, a supporter of the AM Act, is among those troubled by the exclusion, emphasizing the importance of broadcast access.
