Nissan Leaf here. AM radio works fine.

Given that Tesla will add it for a fee(and older Teslas had it), I presume its removal is not technology-related.

That is not correct, you cannot add AM. The radio fee is for people who upgraded their computer hardware and want a new radio that is compatible with the new computer. The new radio does not have AM.

You miss the point: Tesla chose not to fit AM radios because it would have made suppressing the electrical interference so much harder. Hopefully this will change as the FCC starts looking closer at the E.M. interference from Teslas.
