  First of all I think you meant the Tesla of the internet provider industry. And also, by your definition, even Tesla isn’t the Tesla of the EV industry 😅

      You said starlink was the Tesla of the EV industry. But they aren’t part of the EV industry, they are an internet provider.

      And many people would argue that Tesla is not leaps and bounds above the competition, but rather falling behind the competition after starting with a huge head start.

        It’s a figure of speech. Breathe of the wild is the soulsborne of Nintendo. I honestly can’t explain it. Yes Tesla was the Pinnacle during the early years of EV. Starlink is the Pinnacle of space internet. I’m sure it will get overtaken. Currently musk has resources that others don’t, namely space x

        Maybe I coined it wrong. Starlink is the Tesla of the space internet. Is that better

  “Tesla of the ev industry”… meaning overpriced shit. Kind of is considering other satellite providers offer far cheaper service but with higher latency.

        You’ve clearly never read anything about Starlink and it’s implementation. Rural customers are desperate for any alternatives, and Starlink has 100s of LEO satellites vs Viasat’s… 4.
