The radio is a separate module. The MCU1 radio uses an analog interface which is incompatible with MCU2.
It appears the infotainment upgrade only replaces the MCU1 processor module with the MCU2 processor module - not replacing the console display (look at the image on the infotainment upgrade page - it has a yellow border !).
FM/HD radio/XM is included in new S/3/X vehicles. Since many AM stations also broadcast in HD radio, without an AM radio, you can still get most of the stations.
The Tesla streaming apps do not provide live sports/news. Even if Tesla supported TuneIn Premium, there are still many stations that are available with FM/XM.
When we get the infotainment upgrade e-mail, will schedule the upgrade and ask for the MCU2 radio to be added. And if that's not possible (or is unreasonably priced), we'll cancel the infotainment upgrade.
If enough owners press Tesla about the MCU2 radio, they could add that as an option - similar to how Tesla has modified their strategy in the past for things like FUSC or closing the stores...
