Tesla Supercharger Charging Stations Will Place Starlink Terminals This is reported by Electrek.
Journalists drew attention to the image of the Starlink satellite terminal, placed at a Tesla charging station in Lake City, Florida. The photo was posted on Reddit. As the authors found out, in this way the American company intends to increase the convenience of the Supercharger during prolonged charging of electric cars.
Experts also stressed that such a combination of two products from Elon Musk's companies is logical. The authors recalled the services Tesla Theater and Tesla Arcade, which allow you to watch movies and run games in the interior of the brand's car. “Tesla owners still often spend more than 30 minutes at stations,” the report says. According to journalists, wireless Internet will allow car enthusiasts to pass the wait.
It is currently unknown whether Tesla will pay to provide a connection to the network. The company has a Tesla Premium Connectivity plan that offers access to entertainment services for $ 10 a month.
Earlier it became known that satellites in low-Earth orbit could be used to coordinate the movement of autonomous vehicles. According to the Morgan Stanley report, Tesla may use the Starlink satellite network for this purpose.
