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.”
Sounds like Musk is trying to blackmail. Iger should get on a stage and say “anyone that tries to blackmail me, go fuck yourself.”
Disney should threaten to sue Tesla for freely choosing to remove the Disney app
Iger has no need to do that. All he has to do is release the lawyers. Having said that Disney will do nothing. It has zero effect on their bottom line.
I wish he could see the irony, but the guy has a negative amount of self-reflection.
