#1 
I don't need a truck radio.
I listen to the voices in my head.

#2 Now that Rush is gone, radio and television within 100 miles of ATL is not worth listening to or watching anyway.

#3 Simple, order the vehicle w/o the 5x overpriced radio and have your own better aftermarket radio install for 1/4 the price.

#7 I renew my SiriusXM subscription every year just to listen to Real Jazz, though I do listen to some of the other channels from time to time.

I haven't listened to any talk radio in decades.

#9 If the radio/stereo systems in the new vehicles have Bluetooth, which they most certainly will, it should be easy to do as Frank G suggests and then you can listen to stations from all over the world.

But I was listening to John and Ken one day on LA's KFI extolling the virtues of AM radio in case of natural or man made catastrophes such as the recent storms in southern California. If the electricity is out and your house is buried in snow, the battery powered AM radio might be the only source of outside information you have left.

#10 Conservative AM talk radio is a way for young people and blue collar types to get an introduction to conservative, traditional American ides and attitudes, away from the immersion of public education and broadcast television. Removing it is another progressive method to chip away one of the few sources of content we want them to hear. Many just discover it and the humor and variety draws them into thinking.

#11 Hopefully the marketing campaign will be suitably inclusive.

#12 AM radio screws up their telemetry of your car.

#13 The reason they're dropping AM radios is that the drive moters for the EV's they're pushing have always made horrendous electical noise, shielding is expensive and tricky, and they're going to pretend they've fixed the problem by making it so you won't notice.

#14 So in other words, removing AM radios is a twofer win for the Dems. It is brilliant.
