    Elon Musk has officially confirmed what millions have been waiting
    for: the first 100 Tesla Tiny Houses are ready to ship. Priced at just
    $7,999, these revolutionary homes promise to change the way people
    live u forever. Fully solar-powered, off-grid ready, and equipped with AI-driven smart systems, the Tesla Tiny House is being hailed as the
    boldest step yet toward true energy independence.

    The next phase, Musk confirmed, will be 10,000 homes by mid-2026 u a
    massive scaling effort that could make Tesla one of the largest
    housing developers in the world.

    I've thought for some time that we get away from the idea that housing
    needs to be a brick veneer dwelling or an apartment in a multi level
    apartment block, both of which are expensive to own and build. surely
    with the technology we have today there must be simpler solutions
    available, and kudos to Musk for his initiative. In fact a friend of
    mine in the States is building a tiny house at present. however, the
    biggest problem against affordable housing is the opposition it would
    face from loss of jobs, and that so many rules and regulations exist re housing. but with so many homeless, and those unable to afford housing
    or even rent, the system needs to change.

    Thst has never been true, double brick, concrete walls and

    good point. AI says..

    "As of November 14, 2025, the Tesla Tiny House has not been officially released for sale, and there is no confirmed release date for North
    America. While Tesla has showcased a prototype of a towable tiny house
    on its marketing pages, this model is currently a demonstration of its
    solar and Powerwall technology rather than a product available for
    purchase. The company has not yet announced a direct sales channel for
    the tiny house, though it is expected that if released, it would likely
    be sold through TeslarCOs official website or Tesla Experience Centers, following its direct-to-consumer model used for cars and solar products.
    Some sources suggest that the Tesla Tiny House may be available through partnerships, such as with Boxabl, but these are currently on preorder
    and not yet ready for delivery. Alternative options include custom
    builders or companies like Craftsman Tiny Homes that offer
    Tesla-inspired homes, though these are not manufactured by Tesla itself. Potential buyers should monitor TeslarCOs official website and authorized dealers for future announcements regarding availability and purchase
    options"

    and..

    https://elonbuzz.com/where-to-buy-tesla-tiny-house-2025-your-complete-guide/ "Tesla might offer the Tesla Tiny House 2025 directly to consumers
    through the Tesla official website or showrooms."

    https://gatorrated.com/blog/when-can-i-buy-a-tesla-house
    "Unfortunately, the release date for the Tiny Tesla House has not been announced, but the good news is that it may not be too far off, as itrCOs currently touring Australia"

    seems like many of the videos may be be AI generated.. https://search.brave.com/videos?q=telsla+tiny+house&source=web

    No legal problem with tiny houses

    There can be now that they're so popular:

    They have always been legal

    Sure they're legal, if you comply with the "many rules and
    regulations", such as not living there for more than 18 months, 2
    years, etc. depending on your council. Or get planning permission
    and building inspections for a permanent structure which is another
    mountain of red tape. Therein lies the legal problem.

    and you are confusing small houses with ones with wheels

    Nope the same thing applies to both. Councils can put up lots of
    legal obstacles if they don't want you living in one.

    Sure they're legal, if you comply with the "many rules and

    Yet again, you are confusing houses with WHEELS
    with tiny houses that don't have wheels

    Houses with no wheels have been legal forever

    Or get planning permission
    and building inspections for a permanent structure which is another
    mountain of red tape.

    There is no mountain of red tape to build
    a small house on a block of land you own.

    And pleny will sell you a small house with everything
    you need installed which arrives on the back of a truck
    which is no bigger than a 20' shipping container

    Therein lies the legal problem.

    There is no legal problem

    and you are confusing small houses with ones with wheels

    Nope the same thing applies to both.

    Bulllshit it does.

    Councils can put up lots of legal obstaclesif they don't want you
    living in one.

    No council mandates how big the house must be
    and the same size as a 20' container and twice as
    high is legally fine

    Sure they're legal, if you comply with the "many rules and
    regulations", such as not living there for more than 18 months, 2
    years, etc. depending on your council. Or get planning permission
    and building inspections for a permanent structure which is another
    mountain of red tape. Therein lies the legal problem.

    and you are confusing small houses with ones with wheels
    Nope the same thing applies to both. Councils can put up lots of
    legal obstacles if they don't want you living in one.

    imagine trying to have one in Toorak or Brighton :)

    There is no legal problem with that and that
    is essentially what the smallest of the terrace
    housing and council houses are

    The reason you don't see it in Toorak or Brighton is
    just because those who can't afford a normal house
    wont be able to afford the land in Toorak or Brighton

    There are plenty of very small granny flats that are
    perfectly legal and bed sit flats in blocks of flats so
    you don't have to pay for a whole block of land

    Rubbish, I saw all the hassle a neighbour had to go through just to
    put up a modest garden shed behind a house in the middle of
    farmland. Planning approval, engineering approval (which was an
    expensive red-stamp on the engineering drawings supplied by the
    shed kit manufacturer), and two building inspections.

    And pleny will sell you a small house with everything
    you need installed which arrives on the back of a truck
    which is no bigger than a 20' shipping container

    Sure, but then you need it approved or it's a "temporary structure"
    which you're not allowed to live in for more than a year or two. As
    described in the links I posted.

    The small houses that come on a truck don't have wheels and neither

    Nothing new about small kit houses, Aussies have been living in
    them for over 100 years. The idea is you can plonk one of these
    in a place you can't afford to put one of those other small houses.
    Rules and regulations won't make that so easy for many people.

    I've seen a few "Tiny houses", and they have all had wheels. If they
    didn't you'd probably need planning permission.

    Apparently doesn't apply for Moslems.
    A neighbour of mine embezzled over 2 million from the NSWFB 10 years
    ago to buy the house next to me.
    He immediately put up 8 foot high steel commercial fence (which I
    liked) no one came to tell him to tear it down.
    Seems if no one complains you get away with it.
    ICAC had a complaint about his embezzlement though.
    Seems he knocked off a laptop one of his workmates was after.
    His workmate got miffed and called in ICAC
    He sold the house for half what he paid for, after being sentenced for
    3 years jail (lawyer bills?).
    The new neighbors are tops, no troubles. like to keep to themselves.
    Fence to them is not a problem either.

    So all is fine till you get dobbed in.
    Just recently a neighbour became miffed at another and complained
    about it being on her footpath/road verge <https://www.9news.com.au/national/queensland-family-faces-fine-over-immaculate-lawn/b38e6366-7c60-4e2f-8c82-82da512bd6df>
    https://tinyurl.com/353cuvh3
    The synthetic grass covers the front and back yards but it is the
    footpath patch that has made her local council see red.
    In a letter, Gold Coast City Council advised her to rip it up or face
    further action.

    much more extra cost an uncertainty than the basic idea of placing
    an order and getting a house delivered.
    More bullshit when that design has already
    been approved with previous sales.
    or it's a "temporary structure"
    Not if it doesnt have wheels
    which you're not allowed to live in for more thana year or two. As>>>>> described in the links I posted.
    Those were talking about houses with WHEELS, fuckwit
    It's irrelevent whether it has wheels,
    Bullshit, that's what makes it temporary
    it's about whether it's approved as a permanentstructure. "Legal
    issues" exist regardless.
    Not necessarily, plenty of sheds dont need any
    planning permission or any council involvement
    because of their sized
    General NSW guidelines for exempt development
    Maximum floor area: Up to 20m# (4.4 x 4.4) in residential zones.
    Maximum height: Up to 3 metres.
    The house we bought is MUCH bigger than that
    and the carport can take 16 cars, quite literally
    you might squeeze in a double bed, very little room after that
    But you are free to get normal house approval
    for bigger than that and still a tiny house
    Location: Must be located behind the front building line.
    Boundary setbacks: Must comply with specific setback distances from
    property boundaries, which can vary.
    But is bugger all, in spades with my neighbour mate's
    immense brick shed which is much bigger than what
    you listed and is much bigger than a tiny house and
    which has full sewer and water supply.
    And a 20' shipping container is much longer
    than 4.4m and is perfectly legal in your backyard.
    And demountables are one form of tiny house and
    are legal too.

    I saw all the hassle a neighbour had to go through just to put upa
    modest garden shed behind a house in the middle of farmland.

    No planning permission necessary for the quite decent sheds
    that two of my mates have chosen to add to their new houses
    on normal housing blocks in new subdivisions here in just the
    last couple of years and with the vast majority of the new houses
    in those new subdivisions either.

    None was required for my house, or the house we bought
    and are now renting out or for any of my mates who have
    most build their houses on new subdivisions either

    Planning approval, engineering approval (which was an
    expensive red-stamp on the engineering drawings supplied by the
    shed kit manufacturer), and two building inspections.

    Nothing even remotely like that here or for any
    of my mates anywhere else in the country either

    And my nephew is a builder was a builder in melburg
    and one of my mates has had houses in victoria, all
    with sheds

    All the red tape is a new thing,

    More bullshit, 3 of my mates have just moved in to the
    big 4 bedroom houses they got built for them in the
    new subdivisions and they all have sheds and virtually
    all the other new houses have a shed and you can check
    that using google satellite view and google earth

    So they went through all the red tape,

    No red tape with any of those sheds

    it's still a problem,

    Nof when there is no red tape involved

    and likely more of it for a house

    No red tape involved with any of the houses,
    because they were all house designs which
    the builders had already got approved and
    had built those houses before

    And even with another house a mate of mine
    designed himself and built himself, the only
    red tape involved was the council stupidly
    teiiing him that the 3 kid's bedrooms were
    to small because they stupidly didnt include
    the built in wardrobes in the bedroom
    dimensions and the plans were approved
    unchanged when their nose was rubbed
    in their stupidity

    Same with mine which I also designed
    and built myself, It has a massive great
    main room with the dunny and bathroom
    off to one side and the open plan kitchen
    down the north side. They knocked it back
    because you weren't allowed to have a dunny
    opening directly off the kitchen. I just left
    everything unchanged and labelled the
    big area outside the dunny and bathroom
    doors as the dining room and it was
    approved fine

    rather than a shed not intended to
    be lived in (or even have power/water connected in that garden
    shed's case).

    Wrong with my next door neighbour's massibe great
    brick shed which has a dunny and shower at the end
    because its next to the big in ground pool

    it wasn't the case a few decades ago but myneighbour's garden shed was
    just a year ago.

    So were those 3 mates of mine and the
    other houses in those new subdivisions

    Maybe they have nicer councils, but the legal problems are still
    there in councils that aren't so nice.

    There are no councils like that that require all sheds
    on normal house blocks to be council approved

    Certainly put me off getting anything new built.

    More fool you.

    Requirements vary by council
    but I know in the nextdoor council area they wouldn't give planning
    permission for one farmer to put up a new shed because it might
    upset the native birds - even though there's a wind farm on his
    land. It's complete nonsense.

    That's not a normal housing block

    Neither shed is on a "normal housing block".

    But we are discussing tiny houses on normal
    housing blocks and them being perfectly legal

    Like I said, the middle of farmland.

    Your irrelevancy is irrelevant

    In "normal housing blocks" you'll have neighbours
    complaining instead,

    None of my mates ever had any neighbours complaining,
    because they ALL have their own sheds

    And no neighbour gets to complain about the size
    of a house on someone else's housing block unless
    it overlooks their property and by definition a tiny
    house wouldnt do that,

    like in one of the tiny home links I posted

    One with WHEELS. A tiny house doesnt have to have WHEELS

    but you're determined to make up excuses to ignore that.

    No excuse involved in rubbing your stupid nose in the
    fact that a tiny house doesnt have to have WHEELS

    And pleny will sell you a small house with everything
    you need installed which arrives on the back of a truck
    which is no bigger than a 20' shipping container

    Sure, but then you need it approved

    No different to a normal house

    They're supposed to be different to a normal house,

    Only because of the size

    Nothing new about small kit houses, Aussieshave been living in them for over 100 years.

    And you are still free to do that

    The idea is you can plonk one of these
    in a place you can't afford to put one of those other small houses.
    Rules and regulations won't make that so easy for many people.

    Bullshit. They are designed to be legal on a house block

    that's the
    point. If you've got to go through all the approvals there'll be
    much more extra cost an uncertainty than the basic idea of placing
    an order and getting a house delivered.

    More bullshit when that design has already
    been approved with previous sales.

    Same with my neighbour's shed kit which is a stock design by an
    Australian shed manufacturer.

    But that wasnt a normal house block on which
    you are legally allowed to build a house

    or it's a "temporary structure"

    Not if it doesnt have wheels

    which you're not allowed to live in for more thana year or two. As
    described in the links I posted.

    Those were talking about houses with WHEELS, fuckwit

    It's irrelevent whether it has wheels,

    Bullshit, that's what makes it temporary

    it's about whether it's approved as a permanentstructure. "Legal
    issues" exist regardless.

    Not necessarily, plenty of sheds dont need any
    planning permission or any council involvement
    because of their sized

    Only if the council is nice about them.

    Bullshit, no council get any say on how big the house has to be

    Fact is that mine makes it
    hard, and many councils are making it hard for tiny houses too.

    Bullshit

    There are plenty of very small granny flats that are
    perfectly legal and bed sit flats in blocks of flats so
    you don't have to pay for a whole block of land

    What about water supply and dunnies? And power?

    They have those

    People living in car
    or vans must have problems even though they park in the middle of
    town.

    That's not a legal small house

    Same with me and my neighbor put up a 8 foot high green industrial
    steel fence, we both get on fine, although since the fence never see
    each other, unless at the letter box getting mail.

    They have always been legal and you are confusing small houses with
    ones

    I've seen a few "Tiny houses", and they have all had wheels. If they

    Bullshit. Mate of mine's wife had a thing about trees with bulbous
    trunks and collected seeds of them, potted them and plsnted the
    seedlings in the small park/walkway between our houses and fixed
    them when stupid kids vandalised them snd the coucil didnt give a
    damn. And I planted half uke and paperbark and acacia seedlings
    I got from the frestry commission on either side of the property line
    between my block and that park/walkway and looked after them and
    the biggest of them are immense trees now

    I have evil designs on a footpath tree which I surreptitiously prune
    back every winter. Normally, interfering with a council tree is a
    capital offence.

    Bullshit.

    My neighbor & I have put up a 2m paling fence without permission.

    Me too
