3:00 a.m. the soft glow of your phone illuminates your face as you scroll through real estate listings again 800,000 950,000 and 1.2 million each price tag feels like another nail in the coffin of your home ownership dreams you're not alone right now millions of people just like you are lying awake wondering if they'll ever have a place to call their own but what if I told you that tomorrow Everything Changes you've probably heard about Elon musk's decision to sell practically everything he owned and move into a tiny prefab $50,000 house a couple of years ago
well this house was built by a Las Vegas company called boxbl which specializes in making small inexpensive and practical housing for Americans these houses are an evolution of regular prefab homes that have been completely simplified to the point that building or to be more exact assembling this house would take you only a couple of hours before musk bought his small house most people disregarded the possibility of living this way as it seemed like it wasn't comfortable enough compared to regular houses which is to be expected this is after all a very unconventional way of living
however it reaps a lot of benefits the impact was revolutionary boxable received over 100 ,000 orders soon after can you even fathom how big of an effect this was in addition The house's key selling point was its modularity however as time went by it was more and more evident that Elon didn't shift to this house out of the goodness of his heart or because of his material fatigue but rather because it would have stirred up a lot of interest for such houses giving him the opportunity to expand his own business as a result Elon took
the approach that boble had with their house and modif IED it a bit to make it even more alluring and even more interesting to those who haven't got the deepest of pockets for Real Estate after Elon showed his prototype of Tesla's own tiny house hundreds of thousands of people were genuinely interested in it and between 50,000 and 100,000 people ended up getting on a wait list for it Elon Musk got a general idea of what the capabilities and possibilities of a house like the boxel one were as well as how to make it more interesting
and cheaper than the former Elon had an idea of not creating a stationary but an actual mobile home that could both be made completely immovable as well as if there was a need for that be transported from place to place this would mean that he would provide a constant and reliable shelter for those in dire need as well as an easily transportable weekend getaway house for those with more money that can be attached to a pickup truck and driven across the country Tesla has already towed it with the model X and it passed with flying
colors however to achieve this Tesla needed to find a way to lower the weight as well as increase structural rigidity he went to natural sources of course specifically hardwood the key component of Tesla's own tiny home is the fact that it will be externally made out of hardwood completely which will both lower the cost of the house as well as allow it to be more lightweight in addition to this since hardwood is laminated this allows the house to be more structurally sound and the wood itself has been coated and protected against any kind of external
weather plus the skeleton of the house is made out of non-degradable steel and concrete which should make you sleep even more safe and sound plus hardwood is a very good insulation meaning that you can expect the house not to be very hot during summer nor very cold during winter meaning that you'll use up far less electricity and even if you do use AC or heating heating up the house will take much less time as it is far smaller and easier to keep at adequate temperatures in addition to this elon's new house can also be outfitted
with solar panels as well as an entire solar energy system which would essentially allow you to create a household that's entirely self-sustainable in addition to that the house will also be an extremely ecological choice for those of us who value our environment first of all there's the electricity 100% renewable and carbon free in addition to that hardwood is very eco-friendly and so is building a house like this as you need very little and often times no machine at all however probably the best part about this house is how incredibly modular it is you see if
the size of the house isn't to your liking you can easily purchase another one and stack them up high or even expand them at ground level sure this will all be an expensive addition however it'll still be pretty cheap compared to regular Apartments the base model of this house as you might have seen in the title is just $30,000 and that's with furniture and solar systems which brings us to the next question how is it so cheap well you see what Elon is doing with this house is a very good marketing strategy he'll bring in
loads of buyers which as you might imagine equals a lot of money for sure but in addition to this this house will have its ecosystem which means that using a Tesla vehicle will work best with it especially when it comes down to recharging this means that owners of these houses will most likely purchase a Tesla vehicle in the future as they would already be accustomed to the brand and its ecosystem plus as you might imagine the house itself will be very cheap to build for El on as it will mostly be made out of hardwood
which is one of the cheapest house materials one could buy now when talking about the price of the house itself for the end buyer prices vary from $10,000 to $50,000 in our opinion a house with no Furnishings no solar panels and generally a very lackluster amount of features will cost around $20,000 a moderately equipped house will be around $30,000 while the most luscious of them will quote unquote retail for $50,000 when will we be seeing it well that's a tricky one a house like this requires a lot of care and time and that is something
Tesla cannot fathom as they currently have loads of issues with their vehicles the most notable of which is the cybertruck they'll first need to resolve these problems before tackling a more serious matter plus it's not an easy feat to establish a house like this Tesla will need to install or provide you with stuff like the power wall and solar panels prior to delivering the house to you which costs a lot of money the price tag is mostly based on how everything will cost once they reach widescale production at the moment you can expect a far
more expensive home as the technology and methods are yet to be properly adapted and implemented as a result of this Tesla will first have to thoroughly develop the house in safe environments before rolling it out out however in our opinion this doesn't mean that it'll be decades before being able to buy one no in fact we expect it to be available in a couple of years for a steeper than average price however thankfully because Tesla is a serious and large brand unlike boxall this feat will be achieved shortly Into The house's lifespan that said you
will need to pay a premium in the first few years so until then stick to the tried and true and already proven prefab builders
