Not an answer to your question, but an indicator of shared culture: Tesla vehicles also don’t support IPv6 whatsoever.

Things you might use an internet connection for in your Tesla include triggering air con remotely, live traffic and satellite maps, streaming music or online radio, web browsing, or YouTube/Netflix/Disney+ clients.

It completely refuses to use IPv6 over mobile or wi-fi. Also it refuses to access anything over IPv4 (apart from DNS) which resolves to an RFC1918 address, even if it's connected to said RFC1918 network.

So yes, Starlink and Tesla are different companies, but I see cultural parallels which I'm sure surprises nobody.

That's wild. I wonder if Musk has some wealth tied up in the scarcity of IPv4 addresses, like an IP NIMBY.
