EV Carmakers are deliberately dumping AM radio.
“Rather than frustrate customers with inferior reception and noise, the decision was made to leave it off vehicles that feature eDrive technology,” BMW said in a statement, referring to the system that powers its electric vehicles.
Tesla, Audi, Porsche and Volvo have also removed AM radio from their electric vehicles, as has Volkswagen from its electric S.U.V., ID.4, according to the carmakers and the National Association of Broadcasters. Ford said that the 2023 F-150 Lightning, its popular electric pickup truck, would also drop AM radio.

If I Heart GR really wanted to save money, it would sublet two of it's three floors at 77 Monroe Center.

Nothing on AM in the GR area worth listening to these days anyway. WOOD Radio can be heard fine on 106.9 now that they're back to full power.

EV is quite Early Adopter still, how many of them even know AM exists?
