Terrible assumption; I’ve driven all over the place. It just strikes me as odd that feds want to say a car must have AM and it’s not the driver’s responsibility to provide one themselves.

I’m not far from places where you’re legally required to use tire chains in bad weather. You have to provide your own.

Would it be also odd if feds said that a house must have a smoke alarm during its sale? Both of these items you probably wish to never be thankful to.

Also, in grand scheme of things, AM tuner is probably a fraction of a dollar. Optimizing it out is weird.
