6/20 Update: The data plan details and pricing has been released.. and it's disappointing for nomads - here's our video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aoZqo7GmYqzHctI.html 6/19 UPDATE: We just released an updated video with even more tech specs shared by Starlink overnight - power consumption, 12v, size and more: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aW2nuK2pZ9u4lJc.html

I retired May 31, and no longer "need" my Starlink Gen 2. I literally just sold it today! I am FT Class A RV static right now (since Jan 2017!), but as I wind down my time here in CenTex to go mobile in my dotage, this is a great option moving ahead. Thanks for the update!

Might be a backpackers wet dream. I’m kinda excited about all this new shrinking tech coming out

I think this will still be too hefty and power hungry for most backpackers to want to carry. But the upcoming satellite text messaging capabilities to regular smartphones will be a huge safety boon for backpacking!

Can't wait to purchase one !

We have a feeling this will certainly be a popular option for people to purchase.

Looking forward to this! Glad to find out what speeds it has, should be plenty for our needs 😊

Great information as always - thanks.

wow!! This will be Absolutely a super game changer!!

I sure hope I'll be able to integrate this into my permanent mounting position on the sailboat arch.

We are hoping this will be a good option for us to move between van and boat. It should be small enough to be easily portable.

Definitely will consider it!

That looks nice. These upgrades keep coming out too quick. We have the v2 in Europe and the v3 in the states. Now I want the v4.

There is no V4 at present time. V2 and V3 are referring to the Standard dish line-up. The Mini will be an entirely new product.

Kudos to Elon and team! Not like any other company is providing an alternative. Plus their team up with T Mobile working with direct connect to Starlink will only get better.

Nice! Great content!

If anticipated price is accurate, I'll be getting a Starlink Mini...tired of wrestling with campground WiFi and poor Verizon coverage in some areas.

Thanks again for your updates. The speeds work for me, as well as the size but, you know.... Elon :(

If it can be used in motion I know so many storm chaser will buy this.

Thanks Chris! Like 179

Power consumption will be the main point for me. Up to now it was simply much too high.

Yay!

I would be great to add to my existing gen 2 system where I'm using one or the other but not adding an additional usage plan.

@MobileInternetResourceCenter

More likely at launch the Mini will need its own plan, but perhaps cheaper. We'll have to see if Starlink comes up with on option of allowing multiple hardware on the same plan even if you can only use one at a time. Many people would probably take advantage of having both the Mini & the Standard Dish if they could have one plan to use them on.

Yep I personally would like to see this also. I would love to have the Mini setup for keeping on the roof of my RV for travel days or take with me on excursions away from the RV, but use my Gen 3 for normal day to day activities and those times I don't mind the higher power usage. I'd certainly not want to maintain two separate plans to accomplish that either.

Regular RV Starlink service often gets 1/3rd or less of advertised MB per second on the east coast, so reducing to half as the max, would have minimal effect on the user experience to ‘Easties’.

We would anticipate that the performance will continue to be proportional - and low priority data plans (like Mobile) will see even less performance.

I just got the email. 599 and 30 a month for Mid-Missouri.

Of course I want one, but think I'll wait until it's been out for a spell and has been reviewed a time or two first. I'm thinking it's all set up to run on 12v. Don't want to modify another version 2 to do that.

I hope this starlink mini you can just plug into a battery throw into a backpack and have it work even if you need to go less than 10 mph basically just walking I am not driving to be able to use your router and for 50% off the $150 bill for $50 to $75 a month would be a great deal even if it was 100 MB play my problem is I'm just waiting for a portable way to carry a hotspot with satellite in a backpack

Do you know if it is possible to have 1 plan and switch back and forth between 2 antennas? OR alternatively, to have 2 antennas with 2 plans and aggregate them at the same time? Dont ask why Im asking haha.

Even if this new thing costs $85/month instead of the current $150 price, I still would not be interested. It might be acceptable for overloading and RV use, though, albeit still expensive.

I just want Telsa to upgrade my Satellite phone by combining it with my smartphone and let me just use this as a highspeed satellite internet hotspot. I don't want an external antenna and router I just want it the size of my Satellite phone upgraded with features of my smartphone and can send/receive unlimited talk/text/Data either through the closest cellphone provider or by Satellite. Get with it Tesla it's 2024 already!!!!
