Assuming it's not free (satellites / modem aint cheap) - what do you think the subscription rate would be? Especially given most people already pay for connectivity via their phone? Would that justify the BOM cost and complexity increase on the car build?
- ctdonath 6y agoAssuming: at-cost hardware built into car, subscription fee covers both car and home. Buy a car? $99/mo gets great service around the car, including your home when home. Want that service at home when car is away? one time $499 for hardware. Stare at those numbers, then realize you can dump that lousy $25-100/mo service, making Starlink the obvious choice ... and suddenly geography isn’t a limiting factor.
- akozak 6y agoI personally don't believe that very many people would dump their cell service because their car can get broadband.
