@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.

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

Does someone make those? That looks pretty neat.
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!

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.
