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 sparked criticism from broadcasters, who warn that it puts public safety and consumer choice at risk.
The move makes Tesla the first major automaker to remove over-the-air radio entirely, after phasing out AM tuners in 2020.
- The change 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.
According to NAB Senior Manager of Communications and Social Media Grace Whaley, the exclusion of FM radio is troubling.
