No AM radio on 2021 VW?

[George Allen]

No - I have an EV [Chevy Bolt] and AM is fine.  Not having AM in the 
car is strange - there are still very rural places where there's not 
much FM.  I suppose there's always SiriusXM if you pony up for 
it.  And of course music on your phone or thumb-drive or 
whatever.  Yes, AM is dying, but it's not dead yet.

GM car radios don't have HD-FM [well, my 2017 doesn't], since they 
want to sell you SiriusXM.....

Could it be that the electronics / motor(s) generate so much electrical
noise that the AM band is unlistenable ?
