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.”

      Kind of messed up Tesla takes action because of a spat on Twitter though.

        The Board should have oversight on this, but then there are family members and sycophants on the board, so…
