Starlink installed INSIDE the Cybertruck

Yeah for those who aren't in the business you have no idea. I don't even have a Starlink. The atlernative for surgeons is that the patients get managed by other surgeons who didn't perform the surgery while their colleagues are out on vacation. Not optimal. Ask the patients. Interesting you found something funny about it.

Same. Well not the same I’m not a surgeon, but I do have to be accessible to my clients and staff for all of the same reasons I’m generally safe on the weekends certainly (more so than you would be) but being completely off grid for a few days is risky with certain professions.

And I know that the term “PROFESSIONAL“ has been downgraded to mean anything from a surgeon to a general room attendant these days but it has always been a term of art and it has always meant that you’re part of a self governing trade and one of the key features is we DO NOT get to leave our work at the office. Generally you have a license and there are obligations in order to keep it that will impact your personal life dramatically.

Your hippocratic oath and my ethical obligations to my clients do not allow for - “oh I’m sorry I was out of the office and didn’t have cellular signal!” ?

This is why doctors and lawyers were among the first ones to have beepers and cellular phones and so on; not because we think we’re cool. Though we are, decidedly!

I have yet to meet a cool lawyer. Cold yes, but never cool.

I'd envisioned mounting on the roof rack, but this is much easier and thief/vandal proof. No lack of room on the dash, lol.

Great for having connectivity at a campsite, and then bringing it with as you explore remote locations.
The fixed mounting will not be ideally placed to connect to satellites, but with more up there and my specific use case, with a bit of compromise (move the truck) I think it may work well enough.

No doubt someone will come up with alternative mount options soon enough.

I have the plastic strap one that has 3 suction cups and I have it inside on the roof window.

I have a stretch of roadway that I'm driving for about 45 minutes to and from an area I go every week where there is not cellphone signals. I also travel to the mountains quite often for vacation with no cellphone service. These are two reasons I have it mounted in my truck and keep the subscription active. I was able to get the mobile version for $30 additional dollars on top of my current Starlink bill. (We only have Starlink for our home Internet.)
