During the late 1990s, there came a trend in real estate that has changed the industry and will continue to in years to come— tiny homes.
Owning and maintaining a home has always been a problem in more ways than one. This is mainly because of the financial aspect of it, especially as lot prices only continue to rise. Besides the initial cost, there are bills and maintenance expenses to pay for. It was not until tiny homes became popular that people realized how much they could save by moving into a small house, not to mention even Elon Musk sold all his mansions to live in a tiny house. Money aside, it is also environmentally friendly and encourages minimalism. This eventually turned into an advocacy, which is referred to as the Tiny House Movement.
Over the years, the Tiny House Movement has grown, and many companies are now focusing on constructing small houses. One of which is the renowned automotive company known for its commitment to using clean energy, Tesla. In 2017, the business launched a promotion for the Tesla Tiny House, which features energy-efficient features to promote sustainability.
The Tesla Tiny House dimensions are 6m x 2.2m x 4m, and it is expected to weigh 2,000kg according to the model launched in Australia. This makes it small and light enough to be pulled around for showcase by a Tesla Model X. However, beyond its size, the Tesla Tiny House stands out because it uses 100% clean energy.
Specifically, its exterior is covered in chemical-free and sustainable timber, not only for aesthetic purposes but to further promote sustainability. Meanwhile, throughout the Tesla Tiny House interior, there are sustainable features and technologies that support the company’s clean energy mission.
The most notable of all the Tesla Tiny House features is its solar storage, the Tesla Powerwall. This integrated battery system stores the collected energy from the six solar panels for later use, providing you electricity 24/7. Not only does this benefit the environment, but it also saves you money that was supposed to go to your electricity bills.
What allows the Tesla Tiny House to store energy in its Powerwall is the Tesla Solar Roof. This feature is one of the critical points, as its role is to convert sunlight into electrical energy for use inside the home. The Tesla Solar Roof also received praise for its durability and cost-effectiveness. On top of all that, it is low-profile and matches the small house’s minimalist aesthetic.
The Tesla Tiny House implements smart home technology, allowing homeowners to control the light, temperature, and other appliances using a smartphone application. This modern feature provides convenience, security, and better home management in general.
In the topic of convenience, the Tesla Tiny House has an energy monitoring system, which homeowners can use to track their solar energy usage. This feature merges the uses of the Powerwall Battery, Solar Roof, and Smart Home Technology. You can view the real-time energy usage through a mobile application. Not only is this convenient, but it helps you manage your stored energy to use on your appliances wisely.
Just like a modular home, the materials used to construct the Tesla Tiny House, such as bamboo and timber, are sustainable. Its small size also requires less energy for lighting, heating, and cooling, reducing the homeowner’s carbon footprint. Since living in a tiny home also encourages minimalism, they become more mindful of what they consume, leading to reduced waste.
As for the smart home appliances, the Tesla Powerwall Battery is used to power them. This means clean energy was used for electricity consumption instead of burning coal. Since the solar roof provides the energy and the energy monitoring system can help homeowners ensure they don’t run out of power to use 24/7, the house can continue to sustain itself following the same pattern.
Other sustainable features that homeowners can potentially incorporate into their Tesla Tiny House are energy-efficient appliances. Many alternatives in the market consume less energy than their traditional counterpart. Besides electricity, features like low-flow toilets can also help with water conservation. The key here is for the homeowner to be willing to transition to a sustainable way of living in the first place.
While the Tesla Tiny House was impressive and gained much attention, it is not for sale. The model launched in Australia was for promotion, and Tesla has not yet announced its plans to scale up the project and sell the units. Therefore, you cannot find a Tesla Tiny House for sale yet. However, some small houses have been constructed with this as an inspiration, so those can be your alternative.
Despite not officially being in the market, many speculate that the Tesla Tiny House cost will be higher than traditional small homes. This is because of the sustainable features, which require high-end technology. Specifically, the Tesla Solar Roof has an average price of $21.85 per sq ft, which can go higher depending on the installation specifications.
Meanwhile, the Tesla Powerwall Battery costs around $10,500. This does not include smart home appliances yet; prices can vary depending on your choice.
While the Tesla Tiny House price may be initially high, it is expected to be more cost-effective in the long run. After all, as previously discussed, it can sustain energy for itself. You do not need to pay an electricity bill; your solar roof and backup battery will provide the power you need. Overall, investing in a small home like the Tesla Tiny House is a great decision, whether financially or for the environment’s sake.
While Tesla Tiny Houses are not widely distributed, the units, which have only been launched in Australia for now, show potential to change the real estate industry. After all, it is minimalistic, cost-efficient, and comes with sustainable features. Therefore, not only does it encourage simplicity in life, but it also saves you money and even helps lowering carbon footprint, allowing you to do your part in protecting the environment.

Fortunately, when it comes to ADU, Texas is more open to it than other areas. However, there are only designated zones where ADUs are permitted to be constructed, even in this state. At the same time, strict regulations must be followed regarding this.
The simplest way to define an ADU is another housing unit on the same lot as an existing home. It is different from storage structures like garages because it has all the amenities that you can find in usual living quarters.
In the modular building method, the construction is separated into smaller three-dimensional sections called modules. Each is built in a factory, including the interior, exterior, and even electric wiring and plumbing. Afterward, these are assembled, and the house is done and good to go.
