| It’s kind of crazy Tesla hasn’t partnered with SpaceX to provide Starlink as an option. |

| I think the fact that they haven't may be kind of indicative. Last I searched it had supported maximum local device density of just handful in miles. |

| ▲ | chrisco255 13 hours ago | parent [-] | | That can't be true. I've stayed in campgrounds with dozens of Starlink dishes deployed. | | |
| ▲ | pbmonster 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | The cells are large, dozens of dishes in one location are not a problem if there's few other dishes for miles in any direction. |

| That reminds me, I wonder what they did about the Subaru Starlink trademark. |

| ▲ | tssva 15 hours ago | parent [-] | | Subaru filed in 2021 to have SpaceX's Starlink trademark cancelled. The case is still pending. |

| Kinda not. Generally if you got road you got reception. Only wilderness areas don’t. For few people who go camping, etc the standalone miniterminal makes most sense. |

| ▲ | petesergeant 16 hours ago | parent [-] | | Any idea of the etymology for calling it a "white spot"? Assuming this is a German thing | | |
| |
| ▲ | dzhiurgis 16 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Yes there are, but I my guess is 95%+ of car miles are in areas with good reception. If you are building roads putting cell reception there is trivial. |
