Starlink dishes go into “thermal shutdown” once they hit 122° Fahrenheit

Please. The whole point of Starlink is that it's suitable for places where there is poor existing infrastructure. The desert tops the list! They also have service area restrictions for sign up.

Just say Tesla dropped the ball on this engineering prototype and V2 will work on the sun.

To be clear, I hope Tesla fails in everything they do. That wasn’t really the point I was making though.

I guess you hate Phoenix? Alice cooper, the Meat Puppets, stunning desert vistas?

People should almost certainly get over grass lawns, I know there is going to be huge problems with water, but afiact Phoenix recycles a huge proportion of their greywater, and this is a perfect use case for solar, molten salt, nuclear.

Hard to farm, I guess. Isn't there gold to mine too?
