Tesla removes Disney+ from vehicles amid Elon Musk's Twitter beef with Bob Iger

Tesla has removed Disney+ from some of its vehicles amid Elon Musk having an online fight with Disney CEO Bob...

Electrek heard from a source that Tesla informed Disney+ last week that it would remove its native app from the Tesla Theatre in its vehicles without giving a reason as to why.

A few days later, Tesla told Disney that it would only remove the app for Tesla owners who never used the app before.

The automaker now appears to have acted on the threat, as many Tesla owners are reporting not seeing the Disney+ app in Tesla Theatre anymore. Others, presumably those who have used the app before, are still seeing the app available in their cars.

We were told that Tesla didn’t officially give a reason to Disney, but the message was sort of “read between the lines.”

      There should be a law that says that if something you buy loses any functionality whatsoever due to a software update, you should be able to return it for a 100% full refund no matter what condition it’s in. That should incentivise companies not to pull this shit.

      Same should go with ads being inserted that weren’t there before. Imagine how much money Google would lose if everyone returned their Pixels over more ads being forced on them in the Play Store.
