Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable
- Thread starter AudubonB

They said voice and video at one point, but Musk also said it might take 30 minutes for a message to get through. Perhaps super bursty at first. Now TMobile guy says you found message back and forth “in real time”.

That's a use case, but many IoT devices run on much much lower power profiles and LoRaWAN for connectivity. That's a far more efficient device that can run for days/weeks on battery, but obviously without satellite connectivity.
I gotta go… but this is way cooler than I was thinking. Should be huge for T Mobile even if it’s just messaging. I’ve spent many hours doing sort of risky stuff in very remote places. This is an instant switch for me.
Reminds me of this announcement by Twilio and T-Mobile back in 2018
Twilio and T-Mobile US Partner to Introduce Twilio Narrowband: the Nation’s First Developer Platform for Narrowband IoT - T-Mobile Newsroom
Twilio, the leading cloud communications platform, and T-Mobile announced that Twilio has created a new developer platform for the T-Mobile Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) network

Not needed. Tesla's Corporate Bylaws grant the BoD the authority to authorize up to 20% of additional common shares beyond the number currently specified by those bylaws.
I heard Elon say if you’re lucky in a sparsely used cell you might be able to do short video. Made me think very low bandwidth that would take awhile to upload. Had to drop off after that so maybe more info in the Q&A

Google is your friend. Seriously. Where have you been the last five years of headlines from WallStreet and media flogging the recession story? Where have you been the last ten years of headlines from WallStreet and media every time Elon tweets or farts?
Either stop being purposely obtuse or go pee on a different hydrant; the cat does not find your yipping amusing.

As long as your cabin’s not on my mountain.
That is separate and will likely be sold by SpaceX directly.
Suddenly a largely text or small video service like Twitter must be looked at in a different light and possibly value.
Nope. Tesla uses AT&T as the carrier, so the cars won't get service. (The only real use for it would be to be able to unlock/start the car remotely if you lost your keys with the car in a cell dead zone.)
Now, if Tesla decided to switch carriers to T-Mobile, that would be interesting.

You're still going to have to signup for Starlink Internet service for your Internet access... This will just allow text messaging and eventually voice calls when you aren't within WiFi range of your Starlink install.
This isn't directly related to Tesla, but I'm confident it will increase the "Musk/Tesla effect." More companies will realize they really need to partner with him where they can, and more of WS will realize that they can't avoid investing in our generation's Edison.
Hertz benefited greatly. T-mobile just unlocked a few million customers (many will switch to T-mobile for goodwill alone). Who is next?

Probably a dumb question, but can you currently perform VOIP calls over Starlink?
Cool. T- mobile has a lead now. Didn’t hear any other Stateside carriers in plan, only other countries. Sounds like an exclusive to me for X years.
Listened to it at a supercharger, but bummer many chargers are physically damaged, ripped open and with sand shoved inside the nozzle so that it fills your connector. Did not happed to me, but another customer warned me, and said it was all fine last night. Maybe 15 units opened up.(Edit more like 6 or 7, removing back panels mostly, and the sand, sad.)
