Guys, lots of misinformation here. They are NO plans nor hints of integrating Starlink antennas into Tesla cars. It may happen but no one has hinted of this happening. All Tesla's have 3G or 4G modems already built-in to them along with WiFi. Updates are sent via WiFi first and after the fleet

Yeah... but a customer's idea of a clear view of the sky, is throwing it under a bush, and stringing the cable through the goat pen. The only problem that the phased antenna solves is needing to align it properly, and that isn't even the biggest problem with self installs. Sure, there are people

That’s the idea behind the phased antennas though. Once it has a clear line to the sky, the amount of sats and the motors inside apparently make it a set and forget type thing. They’ll still need to run cat5 outside and have a router I assume, but who knows. Maybe they’ll do some sort of power

The CPE end is fixed, in that the antenna is mounted, and doesn't move. Unless it's something that you can throw on a desk and plug into an outlet, self install simply isn't realistic. Dish Network offered a self install option early on (back when they were only using a single satellite, and it

With the number they are expecting to install, it almost doesn't matter what the actual cost is. I doubt there will be any moving parts either. They now have something on the order of 170 birds in orbit, with another 60 due in another week or so. The first 50 were
