Elon Musk just announced<\/a> that the upcoming second-generation Starlink internet satellites include cellular antennas for connections with phones from T-Mobile in the US and potentially other operators as well. <\/p>\n

Following the event, he responded to tweets asking whether the connections will work with Tesla\u2019s electric cars, which currently connect to AT&T\u2019s LTE network. According to Musk<\/a>, the answer is yes.<\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t go into detail about how it will all work or how much data owners could expect to access from the connections when they\u2019re somewhere out of reach by terrestrial cellphone towers. Musk said during the event that the satellite-to-cellular coverage from Starlink will be capable of providing a 2\u20134Mbps link, which is shared by everyone in the satellite\u2019s coverage area. That likely won\u2019t be enough for some Premium Connectivity features, like livestreaming video from your car\u2019s cameras<\/a>. Still, a connection that works at all, \u201canywhere you have a view of the sky,\u201d is better than no connection, potentially.<\/p>\n
