I've pretty much always had a ham radio in my car -- makes travel really fun, and it's a good way to communicate with the wife. Since I don't have a car yet, I'm unclear on a couple of things....
Since I don't want to drill a hole in the body for the antenna, I'm thinking of a Larsen through-the-glass antenna (much like the cell antennas of old). But is the back window metal-coated like the windshield, which would make this challenging?
And where did you mount the radio? Any issues with RFI from the car's electronics getting into the radio -- or vice versa?
With how nerdy Tesla owners are, I figure there HAS to be some hams here!
I know I'm putting the cart before the horse since I don't have a car yet, but it's one thing I can plan....
