I wonder how expensive they are to produce now and have they managed to break even. Gwen Shotwell told the press that their costs were around 1300 with some updated model that was released in early 2021, she said that in April. Since then there was second gen antenna made, that is, I presume, cheaper to produce. And there was leaked email of Musk in late 2021 that was talking about need to get v2 sats working so amount of terminals they are ordering could make sense(email was about their need to fix Raptor 2 production in order to do this). Then they upped their prices in March of this year and IMO this could be a sign of break even point(not sure though).
- pmorici 4y agoI’d guess that the fact that they are allowing service you can pause now means that they are probably at break even on the user terminal hardware cost. 1 million terminals shipped means roughly $1 billion a year in revenue. Some customers are paying substantially more than $100 a month depending on the tier of service.
