Fake.
The term “Tesla Tiny House” has been associated with a few different concepts, but it’s not a single, clear-cut product available for purchase from Tesla. Let me break it down for you:
1. **Tesla’s 2017 Tiny House Demonstration**: In 2017, Tesla created a mobile “Tesla Tiny House” as a marketing tool to showcase its solar panels and Powerwall energy storage system. This was a small, towable structure (about 140 square feet) built by ArchiBlox, clad in sustainable timber, and powered by a 2 kW solar system. It toured Australia to educate people on renewable energy, not to serve as a residential product for sale. Tesla never manufactured or sold these as homes.
2. **Elon Musk’s Personal Tiny House**: Elon Musk, Tesla’s CEO, has lived in a tiny home from Boxabl, a Las Vegas-based startup. This is the “Casita” model, a 375-square-foot prefab house costing around $50,000. Musk uses it as a guest house in Texas near SpaceX’s site. While it’s often linked to him in headlines, it’s not a Tesla product—Boxabl is a separate company, and Tesla has no official involvement. Musk’s choice has fueled speculation, but it’s not branded or built by Tesla.
3. **Rumors of a Tesla Tiny House for Sale**: You might have seen claims online about a “Tesla Tiny House” priced at $7,579, $12,000, or $15,000, often tied to viral videos or posts on platforms like X or YouTube. These are not backed by any official Tesla announcement, website listing, or credible news source. Tesla’s focus remains on electric vehicles, solar energy, and batteries—not mass-producing tiny homes. Such claims seem to be either misinformation, speculative renders, or attempts to capitalize on Musk’s name and Tesla’s brand.
So, to answer your question: No, there’s no “Tesla Tiny House” that Tesla itself produces or sells as a residential product today, March 21, 2025. The 2017 demo was a one-off promotional tool, and Musk’s Boxabl home is a personal choice, not a Tesla initiative. If you’re interested in tiny homes with sustainable tech, companies like Boxabl or others offer options, some of which can integrate Tesla’s Powerwall or solar products—but that’s as close as it gets!
