Starlink and Powerwalls

Its been about 6 months since we installed the Starlink.  So the question is why?  While the cable company was ok there was one critical problem which ironically I can blame on Elan Musk.   Every time the power goes out so does the internet.   While this isn’t Elan’s fault, what I do blame him for is designing the Power Walls in such a way that they tend to get confused when the internet is out for any period of time.  So basically the system has a problem exactly when you need it most.  The Power Walls used to use a 3G connection for backup which was included in the purchase.  Unfortunately in an effort to save money (i assume) they turned that off.  So whats the solution….no surprise back to Elan (he is a genius).   The Starlink performs pretty well outside really bad weather and it creates a perfect symbiotic relationship where the Tesla Power Walls keep the Starlink up and the Starlink keeps the Power Walls up.  Cant make this stuff up.
