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.”

    I’m not a TSLA shareholder, but I do have a model 3, and my Disney+ app was removed.

    I don’t really care because I don’t have kids, and between Disney and Musk, I’ll take Musk any day. This isn’t a good vs evil battle, it’s evil vs evil, where one side isn’t completely malevolent.

      Yes it is. Look at Xitter and say Bob’s wrong. And if you can’t see it, you should at least understand which side you’re on.

        Musk saying antisemitic shit is heinous, that doesn’t make Disney any better of a company.

          Ah, the “whataboutism” defense.

          One doesn’t negate the other; Disney certainly sucks in many other ways, but compared to Musk and his overt racism, Nazism, and harboring and enabling those who would do whatever they could to bring down the US? Fuck Musk, and fuck your feeble fake-out.

          Stick to the conversation - we’re talking about Musk here - don’t change the subject to deflect attention.

      Its weird that you know one side is completely malevolent, and then proudly chose that side.

      “I know one of these parties has some redeming qualities, and it makes me sick!”

        Yeah, spacex and moving electric cars into the mainstream, no redeeming qualities at all.

          Oh for sure, cause there definitely wasnt multiple other companies doing those same things more competently, who were going just a bit slower because they were following pesky things like, I dunno, laws.

          That definitely excuses the open racism and flagrent incompetence at every turn, for sure.

          Just admit you love that he is a racist git, youre doing a shit job hiding it.

      …where one side isn’t completely malevolent…

      …and the other side is Tesla, owned by Apartheid Edgelord.
