A comment on Is Am Radio Dead?.

Something I don’t see mentioned:

Some (many?) new cars don’t have AM radios. And since people in cars seems to be a huge chunk of AM/FM radio listenership that’s a very big problem for AM stations.

I know the Mustang Mach-E removed it in the newer models.

The article also mentions that Tesla cars dropped AM support by default and now sell a $500 upgrade to the radio just to get AM radio back.

That is not correct, you cannot add AM. The radio fee is for people who upgraded their computer hardware and want a new radio that is compatible with the new computer. The new radio does not have AM.
