Question 1

Where did Elon Musk buy his tiny home?

Accepted Answer

Elon Musk confirmed that he owns inexpensive tiny homes near SpaceX, and one is rumored to be a Boxabl Casita. He utilizes them as workforce housing, as well as guest and vacation homes near his Texas property.

Question 2

How long is the waitlist for Boxabl homes?

Accepted Answer

The current waitlist for Boxabl homes can be upwards of 1 year or more. It is suggested to reserve a Boxabl home through their waitlist for a $200 fee for the fastest turnaround time or by pre-ordering one for free to be added to the end of the production line cue.

It is unclear when any Boxabl Casita will be delivered.

Question 3

Does Boxabl home need a foundation?

Accepted Answer

Boxabl homes do need a foundation. They are compatible with any type of foundation system and can be secured by bolts with the included connector plates. However, the necessary foundation needed to secure your Boxabl home is determined based on your geographical area and soil type.

Question 4

Can you put a Boxabl in your backyard?

Accepted Answer

In short, a Boxabl can be placed in your backyard. Legal placement of Boxabl homes, however, varies per your local zoning codes. Boxabl suggests contacting your local government website or visiting their partner, www.permits.com, to learn more.

While Boxabl is not yet aligned with state modular approval (currently in process), their website states the Boxabl Casita tiny home is registered as a park model RV in accordance with ANSI 119.5 in all 50 United States. So it can be placed wherever park models are allowed and in most cases, where tiny houses on wheels are allowed.

Another factor to keep in mind is Boxabl does not set up the home for you. Once you solidify your order with Boxabl, their team connects you with a local Boxabl state-licensed installer.

Question 5

Does Boxabl come furnished?

Accepted Answer

Boxabl does not come furnished. Their Casita comes as an unfurnished 375-square-foot modular room that can be used as a standalone tiny home or can be expanded by adding additional modules.

Question 6

What does a Boxabl home come with?

Accepted Answer

Included in the initial build of any Boxabl home, which begins as a Casita module, is a full kitchen complete with appliances, a full bathroom, electricity, HVAC, flooring, and windows (plus a few other basic items like sinks and counters).

Land, permitting, foundation, set-up, roofing, landscaping, and all additional interior furnishings are not included in the cost of the Boxabl Casita. If you are budget conscious, these are big considerations to keep in mind, as pre and post-building costs can add significant changes to your overall budget.
