>The "Left" isn't pushing to eliminate AM radio
I didn't say they were. You're making a straw man argument. I literally said the opposite, that they agreed with Republicans in protecting the safety of Americans.
> I question your claim that presecing AM radio in EVs costs only $5
I'll double down on that point. The radio retails, shipped, for $9. [1] Those are consumer prices on individual, discrete units, with additional plastics, documentation, packaging, separate warehousing costs, freight, etc.
It's obviously much cheaper than $5. I've grossly overestimated the cost of an AM radio.
