You typically don’t get gasoline but free air CO2 capture technology has been used successfully to create various fuel sources out of the extracted carbon.

They both work fine. Unless you’re running some kind of high bandwidth online business the high performance is absolutely unnecessary. The Mini is smaller, doesn’t require a separate router and still gets 100mbps and faster when I use it. The Standard will let you put the router inside your...

You can select either the mini or standard dish for your service when purchasing it.

Do you know what model your power converter is? Depending on that it may be as simple as flipping a switch to change to a lithium charge profile. If it isn’t compatible it is easy and fairly cheap to swap to a converter that is. Do you have solar? Same concept there - does your current charge...

My mini draws about 20 watts. It needs a 100 watt USB-C PD or also works with a 65 watt USB-C PD with a short cord.

If you’re already camping in a tent why the concern about a pop up camper with fabric walls?

To me they are similar but not the same at all. My Inreach can sit in my pocket and always be with me in an emergency. My Starlink is great for many things but is not for emergencies. If I fall and break my leg or back out hunting/fishing/camping/etc I’m not going to be breaking out a Starlink...

No. They are entirely different devices designed for different purposes. A starlink is not an emergency beacon.

For $300k I would have expected the build not to look like someone went through the cheap apartment contractor aisle at Home Depot.

The testing I did with it was in my backyard with both WiFi and cell coverage. Figured turning it off was part of the steps since it asks about it.

A cell booster would not help, completely different system. Did you have your cell service and WiFi disabled? Pretty sure last time I played with the emergency satellite thing in the phone it made me do that first.

Yep, which works great until you’re towing at 1mi/kwh and less. At that point an 0-80% charge in my R1T only provided a 105 mile range, leaving little to no buffer for changes in road or weather conditions and often not enough range to make it from one DCFC to the next. A full charge was often...

With my R1T towing it was an hour or more of charging every 120 miles as opposed to a ten minute fuel stop every 350 miles in my diesel. On a long trip that adds up into days of extra time on the road, a big deal if you’re wanting to get somewhere quickly rather than just go slow and enjoy the...

I’m still using an eight year old Garmin Inreach. Other than some improvements in size (smaller/lighter), faster connection and better battery life it is just as capable of sending/receiving messages as the new devices.

*if you want to do it in a reasonable amount of time. The actual towing performance is excellent.
