Living in a cybertruck

So actually Starlink might not be the best option in the near future.

I recently seen a 5G modem offered by Rogers in Canada. They send you a sim card and a modem, you just plug it in and get to work.

The biggest drawback of this which was also with starlink (which I think they might have changed) was that it is Geo-locked. You can't use it outside of your specified area.

But with data becoming cheaper pretty much every year and these modems (or even just hotspot on your phone) being everything you need for an internet connection. I expect cellular data being the cheaper and better option for people living in their truck. The only thing I could see starlink being the better option for is rural areas. I love the idea of starlink but if someone is living in their truck to save money, the 5G modem I seen was a bit more than 1/3 the price, no hardware cost, and 200gb. Unless someone actually needed unlimited data or they were in a rural area, I don't see the benefit.

I actually lived in my Car for a couple years while in University. It was just a Cadillac CTS, so living in a Cybertruck would be much easier and more comfy. I would use my mobile hotspot to play some games on my laptop, often on a park bench. I would start a lot of torrents for tv and movies and let that download while I was in class or connected to a friends internet with unlimited data.

But I would have killed for a truck like the Cybertruck to live out of. It would have been a 5 star hotel in comparison. Not only so much more room, but having an actual compactable mattress for the truck bed instead of reclining the driver seat. And being hidden under the cover instead of full view of people walking by if you are at like a walmart parking lot. I even had police a couple times knock on my window to make sure I wasn't a drunk driver that passed out, like I had a pillow and blanket and sleeping in a walmart parking lot, that would be one very prepared drunk driver.

Starlink certainly has options that are not GeoLocked. It's called Roam. It's very popular in the Cruising Sailboat community and even works at sea if the area is covered by satellites. Being from Canada I'm sure you are aware of the lack of cellular phone coverage particularly in rural areas. I lose coverage in parts of almost every state I'm in the United States. A 5G modem is fine in Metropolitan centers. But I like to get out boondock camping so Starlink at this point in time seems to be a much better option for me. https://www.starlink.com/roam
