Going to need a state of the art advanced antenna and they are not cheap.
The military has been using them for years.
I even saw an article of a Sat antenna used on an automobile.
Used on ocean going yachts nowadays. Not for for Starlink yet.

I knew the geofence was off the table but looks like a hex cell for travel. Assume pricing will eventually shake out to screw it into the roof, stay in the cell or leave the cell.

This is a great source for how the roll out is going:
you can click on a cell to see what areas in the hex cell have consistent coverage.

Interesting.

That shows Loreto as currently having coverage 97.9% of the time with a 25 degree minimum user terminal angle.

According to what we've seen, they are launching the mass of satellites and they have to go to there positions and then when there is sufficient coverage for a "Cell" based on a coverage rating s noted earlier in this thread for the location where you applied by sharing your address or google marker, then you will notified by email, choose plan, complete the order, confirm shipping location, optional roof mount, pay and receive equipment and setup.
