The Mini or now Mini 2 will never see it's full use potential until Starlink makes a Monthly Plan for users with more than 1 dish! Many people want a Mini for traveling while having a different Starlink dish at home.

Cost is always the first question. Until overwhelming abundance becomes reality.

A dish you can toss in a backpack with no cord is huge for anyone chasing launches from a beach or a dirt road. The battery was the missing piece!

Starlink Mini 2 has a built-in, quick-swap battery with 4.5 hours of connectivity. 🛰️🔋 Joules and I are about to have the best-connected road trips in Texas. Homestead, ranch roads, ballpark parking lots, you name it. 🤠⚡️

Built-in battery is the upgrade everyone wanted. 4.5 hours of internet anywhere out of a 3.5 lb thing in your backpack. Wild

It's a small thing, but including a 10-foot cable shows some actual caring about the users.

No one cares.. Elon will just trash it like he does everything else. I'd rather invest in a company that has a history of maintaining their equipment for the long haul.. #BoycottSpaceX #BoycottTesla

This is an important and major breakthrough for high bandwidth internet access. The benefits to human safety keep getting better. Starlink is an extremely important product, that which the impact of will continue to be seen for many applications and situations that we are only beginning to identify. Amazing work @SpaceX 🛰️🦾❤️

@SawyerMerritt if we already have a Starlink roam subscription and Starlink mini, can we use both the new Mini 2 and current mini in the same single subscription? Or does every Unit need its own subscription ?

The swappable battery is the real upgrade here. 4.5 hours covers most of a field day, and USB-C charging means a car or power bank keeps it going. I'd like to see the actual watt draw under load.

This is what I have been waiting for!! Awesome!!! 👏 Cybertruck news still hurts but this is some great news.
