Is it true that a Trump/DeSantis ticket can’t happen because they are both FL and the Constitution prohibits that?
I am not sure to be honest so cant answer that, sorry.
If they did that, the electors for either Trump or DeSantis would not count. Considering we always need Florida’s electoral votes, that isn’t workable unless Trump changes residency to another state, which is possible.
Trump could easily use New York as his home state, shich it really is.

No it isn’t true.
If both of them are from Florida then the electoral votes can’t go to them. That’s the Constitutional part.
Trump would change his address to New Jersey (See Cheney in 2000) and “Presto” Constitutional compliance has been met.
It really isn’t much of a hurdle.
Trump/DeSantis 2024
Technically, both people on the ticket can be from the same state. There’s no rule against it. But there is a rule that an elector can’t vote for two candidates both from the elector’s state, so if Trump and Desantis are both Floridians, then Florida’s electoral votes can’t got to both. In a race where FL’s electoral votes are greater than or equal to the margin of victory, this could cause the Dem VP candidate to be elected along with Trump.
I understand how easy it was for Dick Cheney to become a Wyoming guy again. No one cared. But does Trump say he’s a New Yorker again just to accommodate someone else on the ticket? That seems like a distinctly non-Trump-like to do. Does Desantis say he’s not a Floridian? Desantis is a native of the state and is governor, so it would be kind of weird for him to abandon the state.
Can't imagine DeSantis would give up the governorship to be Trump's VP, though.
If Pelosi can be allowed to run for her seat in SF, while living In Florida over 6 months, DeSantis/Trump can move out of state for both to be on the ticket.
