um, no, Starlink is now becoming the primary reason for the huge run-up
in valuation for SpaceX...

The difference being that this is a side project for one of the main
businesses, not their primary purpose. At best I don't think this is
going to be anything besides a better alternative to other satellite
internet options.

Guys, lots of misinformation here.
They are NO plans nor hints of integrating Starlink antennas into
Tesla cars. It may happen but no one has hinted of this happening.
All Tesla's have 3G or 4G modems already built-in to them along
with WiFi. Updates are sent via WiFi first and after the fleet has
received the updates, they eventually push it to cars via cellular
data that haven't updated via WiFi.
Regarding B2B backhaul, I don't believe you'll see this as an
option anytime soon for WISP's or other ISP's. They're targeting
residential and small businesses as well as government contracts.
The cost if they did offer B2B backhaul services would likely be
higher than fiber to your network. Please stop thinking this will
happen as I bet it will not.
They may offer a self install option but they'll also have a
contractor to perform most installs for a cost is my guess. Maybe
they'll send a self install kit for X price and if you can't get
it working, they'll schedule a contract install for XX price.
I'll also say that you should not doubt Elon's passion to achieve
great things. I have a Tesla and it's a work of art and by far the
best vehicle I've ever driven. 99% of people who have driven one
also think this. Tesla is succeeding, SpaceX is on it's way there,
The Boring Company is half done with their Vegas tunnel, and
Starlink will likely be a viable competitor for us.
