It’s been a while since I had a “modern” car. My newest car up until this point was year 2007, therefore my experience with factory installed audio systems on late model cars was very limited.
That said, I just brought home a new Tesla 3, and what the hell, the FM is absolutely terrible. It sounds like they digitalized it. Why would you digitalize an analog broadcast? I also noticed this phenomena in my brother’s new suburu. Is this the direction new receivers are going? If so, one could only believe this is some effort to deter people from bothering with FM and deal directly with streaming sources. Which BTW, the factory equipped media server sounds better than the FM in this car. For some reason this is really bothering me. My FM at home to me sounds great, and it always sounded decent in my previous cars.
