Reply to comment by eberkain in SpaceX rolls naked Starship prototype to test site by RGregoryClark
Most likely HLS or a ground test vehicle of some kind but SpaceX may use some disposable Starships for Starlink. If their factory is up to 1 a day but they don’t have reuse figured out then disposable is a way to get some use out of them. Unlikely but possible.

Well the factory is more like 1 every 3 months, starlink needs to be as cheap as possible also, I can't imagine any scenario where they use expendable ships to launch starlink.

One a day is the nearish-term engine production target, not the starship one
