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.”

    Do tesla shareholders not care that the ceo is fucking with their customers because a company stopped advertising with his other company?

    Ostensibly, tesla has nothing to do with xitter. How is this acceptable to anyone?

      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!”

            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.

              Everything I’ve learned about Elon musk since the Thai cave incident has been against my will.

              He bought Twitter and I deleted my account. I don’t know what he does on a daily basis, or what he says until it gets posted here, unlike you morons that keep engaging with him. I also don’t know what’s happening on Parler or Truth Social, because there’s no reason to give those people engagement, which is what they want.

              SpaceX is resupplying the ISS and Starlink provides decent internet where there are no other options. Tesla sets the standards for electric cars, and did it a decade ago.

              Are any of these things perfect? No, but they are moving the world forward, and it is unfortunate that he’s the guy at the wheel.

                “You morons?” I dont follow him, lil racist, I learn about him via news articles after he makes another anti jew comment.

                I just dont defend him for doing things 20+ other companies are already working on, except he got done “”“first”“” by either buying the rights to the name of the first people or by breaking worker protection regulations.

                “Sure he is racist, makes unsafe products that better companies make safely, is actively spreading more racism, and blows up a fuckload of rockets for no gain in a pissing match with amazon, but I stuck my fingers in my ears for every other word so its okay! Sure its not perfect, but its not good either!”

                You cant even defend your racist idol properly, yuck bud

                  They make among the safest cars ever sold, but don’t let facts get in your way.

                  SpaceX, once again, is providing low cost rockets for NASA, reducing our dependence on Russia for spaceflight, and saving tax payers billions.

                  It’s honestly odd that you can’t recognize that just because you don’t like the guy doesn’t mean he hasn’t contributed.

                  I can say all that while still despising the racist stuff. Fucking weird, right?

                    Im talking about the factories they are made in, bud, but dont let the injuries and deaths get in your way

                    SpaceX isnt the only aerospace company, its just the cheapest. And Im not concerned about global markets, especially when the trade off costs workplace safety.

                    Its fascinating that you defend the safety problems while hand waving the racist stuff. Fucking weird right?

        …where one side isn’t completely malevolent…

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