I don't think those maps are "coverage" maps. They are "availability" maps. The coverage is there in eastern US for example. Its simply at full capacity of users for the time being. Musk was on a Joe Rogan podcast explaining this very thing by imagining his system as a giant flashlight shining down. Only so much bandwidth available within this beam of light. The amount of users is capped for each beam until new beams (satellites) are in place. I'm definitely paraphrasing here. I was driving and only paying half attention to it. Those interested could likely find it on Joe Rogan's podcast. I think it would answer several questions/concerns in this thread.
