I would buy a car without an AM radio. In fact I'd buy one without FM or AM. I always use my phone (or ham/cb radio) for audio entertainment, and never do i ever turn on the actual radio.
that said, a crank AM/FM radio lives in the trunk with my other emergency/contingency stuff (first aid, jumper cables, fixaflat, reflective thingies, etc)
- Spivak 3y agoMe too, I think that's the disconnect. The very last thing I expect my car to do is be a "society has collapsed" last resort of communication. I have a bag of emergency supplies in my trunk I've had since my dad got it for me when I was 16 that includes a portable battery/hand crank radio. My radio has sat in every car I've owned. So the trade of having n+1 am radios over my lifetime or 1 comes out better for not including it in the car. I would honestly much rather institutionalize my dad, have cars come with an emergency supplies kit if you don't already have one. Make everyone better prepared and waste less.
