You're right about Volt and M3 both using PMAC motors. However, the M3 specs indicate FM/Internet streaming radio but no mention of AM.

What part didn't you understand in context of my original post, which said there is as much evidence that HD is actually there as there is that AM is included???
If your so stuck on AM radio I will sell you my volt .... and xmradio is pretty much talk talk talk about nothing and play some music talk talk talk... I can remember when they played nothing but music no talk talk talk...that’s why I have cancelled all accounts but the lifetime I bought long ago.
Oh to have tune in and more in the model 3 can’t wait

If you're so stuck on TuneIn, let us know how it works with no cell service. And how it works for a Padres broadcast. Or how it works for CalTrans road conditions.
This of course doesn't address the lack of cell service but Tunein's premium option is increasingly becoming viable for previously blacked out sporting events. Maybe this will help.
Your original post said nothing about AM. All it said was that there is no mention of XM or HD (FM) in the manual.

Runt, you are correct as to what my first post stated. However, the topic of the thread is about AM/FM radio. Thus, my post is on topic and your attempt to derail by getting into a pissing match is tiring.
"Ignore" button utilized. Bye.
Well at least some progress on the "FM" front after an update yesterday. Not working yet according the following post but at least the UI now shows FM.
QUESTION: No FM radio, USB, or streaming from phone?

I notice that it says "HD," but there's no screen shot of any subchannel (i.e., "KXXX HD-2") being received. But since this is the first iteration of software that includes FM at all, it's progress! And heartening that indeed FM HD is a fact.

Geez, I'm wondering about this...
I rarely listen to AM radio, but on occasion have. My 2012 LEAF received AM radio with no problem.
I just had my first opportunity to listen to AM the other night on my year old 2016 LEAF, and guess what: nothing but static.
I guess I could try a few other stations, but the station I was trying to pull in was a local station that I know I've listened to in the past.
Sounds like you need to make an appointment with the dealer to look into the problem..

I had a 2004 Prius, and AM worked great for the first 6 years I had it. But gradually, during acceleration or regen, it rendered even strong stations pretty much unlistenable. Working theory was corrosion of a grounding connection in the inverter. I never had it fixed before getting rid of it.

I don't really care for either, but when NHL conflicts with NFL, of the two, only AM carries the post-game show I want to listen to.
As a data point for AM radio in EV's, BMW enables AM radio in the i3's that are sold in Europe, but disables AM in the USA. Very strange, but the cars are codeable with a laptop computer and I turned AM back on for my Mom's car and it works great. Lot's of speculation as to why BMW does this, but it does not seem to be an issue with interference inherent to the EV drive-train.
