Sounds like the motors only run for the alignment once in a fixed
location. After that if the motor dies it wouldn't matter?

Straight from the gods mouth I guess.

OK but are these phased array antennas like beam steering well they
have stepper motors in them? Because the moment you add motors you
had parts that are going to break sooner or later.
Plus if we really think that a self install is going to work for a
customer I think we are giving the customer way too much credit.
First of all a cable still Hass to be run to the antenna and put
through the wall of the house, secondly we all know customers are
going to try to install it in the worst possible location, under a
tree, under a deck, or someplace that has great aesthetic value but
terrible propagation to the night sky.

The question is what do the parts or materials actually cost in
large quantities? Cambium makes its money off of selling 450s.
They aren't interested in selling them to you as cheap as
possible so you can make more recurring revenue. SpaceX wants a
piece of that 30B recurring revenue and in order to do that they
need a ~$200 CPE that users could install themselves or have joe
taskrabbit install for them with nothing more then a screwdriver
and perhaps a cordless drill. Elon has shown time and time
again that he is willing to go all in any time the pot odds are
good. There are some great pot odds here and I wouldn't bet
against Elon, at least in the long run.

Then all you read online is the cult following of spaceslax
who takes a twitter post as gospel and just keeps
perpetuating the same tired information.
