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, after phasing out AM tuners in 2020.
- The decision comes as Congress considers the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act, a bipartisan bill requiring automakers to include AM radio as a standard safety feature.
Free, local radio is not a luxury.
The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) is among those troubled by the exclusion, emphasizing the importance of broadcast access in cars.
