In a world where housing has become increasingly inaccessible for younger generations, Elon Musk is revolutionizing things. After revolutionizing the sectors of automotive, spatial and neuronal technology, the founder of Tesla reveals his latest creation: an ultra connected, compact, sustainable and, above all, accessible, accessible, for only $ 15,000.
Officially called Tesla Cyberhouse, this little engineering wonder is designed to be sent as a kit and mounted in less than 24 hours. It comes equipped with solar panels, water collection system, intelligent residential automation and can work completely autonomously.
A home of the future available to everyone
The modular cybernetic house of 37 m² focuses on people seeking independence and sustainability. Made with recycled materials and designed to resist natural disasters, perfectly reflects the futuristic vision of Elon Musk: living better with less.
“Our goal is to make housing accessible, sustainable and climate resistant. Cyberhouse can be installed anywhere, either in cities, rural areas or even in areas affected by disasters,” Musk said during the official presentation at the Tesla headquarters in Austin, Texas.
The design is minimalist, angular and completely futuristic, following the example of the famous Cybertruck. Inside, it includes an integrated kitchen, a compact but functional bathroom, a living room and an optimized bedroom and, of course, the entire Tesla residential automation ecosystem, Starlink, compatible with Internet access, even in remote areas.
A direct threat to byd and traditional housing?
Although the announcement has shaken the world of modular architecture and mobile houses, the strongest impact was felt in China. Byd, the Tesla competitor in the automotive sector and recently entered the Smart House segment, sees Cyber Houses as a direct threat to its global expansion.
Analysts are already calling this “the beginning of the end of byd in the race for the home of the future”, due to its unbeatable price and the technological integration of Tesla.
“Byd offers similar models of $ 30,000, twice the price and without the advanced technology of Tesla. If Musk can increase production, the Chinese and global market, it could change radically,” explains Carlos Méndez, BBVA Research analyst.
A dream come true … or simply another illusion?
However, some experts recommend caution. Mass production will require a massive logistics infrastructure, and delivery time can be extended if demand explodes, as happened with Cybertruck or model Y.
In addition, there are legal and regulatory barriers. Many countries still do not have laws that regulate this type of modular housing. Can you really install a Tesla house anywhere? It is not so simple.
A revolution that begins
Anyway, Cyberhouse represents a turning point in the history of housing. Its price, technology, autonomy and mobility are rewriting the rules of the game. If Elon Musk can maintain his promise, he can do the real estate sector what he has done for electric cars: triggers a global revolution.
The era of smart, affordable and mobile houses may be starting. And once again, Elon Musk is at the forefront of the future.
