Wow. I’m impressed with Starlink!

Re: the mini, for those using it with your vehicle, if you mount it on the exterior, say with the magnet, do you remove it when while driving?

If you keep it on the dash instead, realistically, how much does it cut performance vs an exterior mount? I'm sure some, but theft concerns might make dash use more prudent and storing it when away from the vehicle.

Those that use it in the suspended service mode ($5/mo), how many months at a time is it suspended and does it still work well enough for calls or text? It looks like there is a limit to how long it can be suspended at $5/mo.

For me, the use throughout hunting season and a few months in summer would be huge. The remainder of the year, suspending it would be a wise move, but there might be 1-2x a month it would be handy for calls or text during those suspended months. No streaming really needed and if checking emails and rokslide could be done on suspended that would be amazing, but probably not practical.

I have had mine mounted to the roof of my truck via the verits van magnetic mounts for 6 months and around 10k miles without issue.

I ran it on the dash for a while as well, and it was ok, but with a case and mount, it took up to much space in the windshield. I see a fairly high number of people running them from the dash though, usually just without a case or mount or anything. That isn't bad, but it does slide around some.
