TESTING STARLINK MINI DURING A HURRICANE INSIDE A TESLA

EV Channels Review

This video thoroughly tests the Starlink Mini's performance in extreme conditions, including a hurricane and while driving. The reviewer highlights its ease of setup and portability, noting speeds often exceeding 100 Mbps in ideal land-based scenarios. However, the review points out significant limitations: connectivity drops considerably inside a house or when obstructed by weather, and in-motion performance within a vehicle is inconsistent, with frequent signal interruptions. While the Starlink Mini offers a viable solution for remote areas or as a backup for stationary use, it is not recommended as a primary in-car Wi-Fi solution, as cellular 5G often provides superior speed and reliability in areas with coverage. The reviewer also contrasts the Mini with the standard Starlink, noting the latter's better performance in adverse weather and larger coverage area, though lacking the Mini's portability.
