Imagine a world where billionaires having petty arguments result in functionality being remotely removed from your $40,000 device…

TL;DW: Disney decided to cease advertising on X (formerly Twitter) and not long after, the Disney+ app was removed from many owners’ Tesla vehicles. Users who have already used the app shouldn’t be affected by this, however those who haven’t will no longer have access to this functionality.

This video follows on the heels of GM announcing removal of CarPlay and Android Auto from their future vehicles, indirectly reducing the freedom granted to vehicle owners of what they can run on their infotainment system. Running apps that provide traffic warnings and additional functionality will be no more, likely paving the way for more unnecessary subscription addons - and even situations like this where functionality can just be taken away without warning

    Apparently it’s a bug and not affecting everyone and is easy to restore by visiting Disney+ from the browser.
