@scottalanmiller Well it would be a tiny off grid house. So I would be able to put a small solar panel on the roof, and be able to run lighting and cooking needs from the Tesla battery all day and night. Currently must people just use propane, but I would rather run electric only. I'm sure in 20 years when this goal could actully happen, the technology will be amazing.
I see. It's the solar that really makes the difference
Well when this is the size of house I want to live in, I am betting I could run quite a while on a 10KW battery.

Does someone make those? That looks pretty neat.

@s.hackleman Where do you live? many places keep making those "Tiny" house illegal. both with standards that would make them illegal and minimum square footage requirements.

My cousin is looking into a house like that. Looks exactly that size, maybe a bit smaller.

It's a big movement that start a few years ago. Quickly being showdown by laws though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGomaVCVYfM

I am in Missouri, however that is why they build them on wheels. They Qualify as RV's and do not fall under the minimum squarefootage laws.

Not cheap, I can buy a "real" house for less than that!

Yep. here I can get a 1,500 SQ house here for that if you score the right deal.

Seems like a very US-consumerist "go buy one" approach to what's normally just called "living in the rest of the world."
If you want to live in a nice, tiny place like that, Europe is loaded with them. -

Many people build them themselves. If you take advatange of a local habbitat for humanity, you can build one for around $10k so long as you have the tools and the know how.

That's not too bad then.
