The foldable Casita, being developed by @BOXABL will be the BIGGEST disruption to the housing industry, CHANGING HOUSING on a scale the world has never seen.
00:00 Introduction to Boxabl
2:30 Beginning of Factory Tour 1
14:56 Factory Tour 2 with CEO Paolo Tiramani
25:09 Interview with Boxabl CEO
49:43 VR experience of one-bedroom Casita
I was able to interview Boxabl's CEO about their first customer, which, now we've confirmed was Elon Musk! This had been speculated about for over a year- but recently Elon Musk confirmed on the @FULL SEND PODCAST that he did indeed order a Boxabl prototype to station in Boca Chica, Texas where the largest fully reusable rocket in the world, Starship, is being constructed.

"So what are the benefits of that from a first principles view?" - CEO Paolo Tiramani. Thinking about the problems and finding solutions by going back to basics.
He's talking about long term strategy, not "this quarter", and not "we're spending this much"
Reminds me of another CEO I know...
Ellie's interview was fantastic, but if you want the total breakdown on all the 1st principle advancements in design that Boxabl made, here is the long-form interview with the Chief Engineer with an offsite building UA-camr from January 2022... ua-cam.com/video/sQPf9x0OxVw/v-deo.html
Did you catch "if we can't find it at the price/ standard we need, we bring it in house"?
Vertical Integration.
Lifting the ceilings to 9 1/2 feet was one of the smartest moves they could have made.
Nobody needs 9.5 feet. I have 9 and it could be at least a foot shorter and still feel fine.
I HATE short ceilings. If I can touch it in the basement, they're too damn short.
7.5 is a bit too short, imo. 8 would be just fine.
The mold is a big issue in Guantanamo Bay. Look up NY Times 9/17/22.
The young man who guided part one of your tour was great. You can see how excited he is about Boxabl. I also noted your reporter's skills. You have a way of making people very comfortable on camera.
Ellie has a gift for answering many questions in a short amount of time. Highlighting the personalities and the topic,
with some humor for good measure. Perfect!
Fantastic!
Many thanks! Can't wait to sleepover!
Thanks!
This was so unexpected! And so helpful. Thanks!
I just looked at their website, and I’m pretty sure the unit comes with a standard refrigerator, range, microwave, dishwasher, and a washer, dryer, standard. That’s a lot of money saved, right there!
And don’t forget the cooling and heating mini split…
Doesn't save you money, if you still have to buy your preferred or support your daily use function appliances and the appliances you would not buy at all. Different priorities in appliances means there isn't a best value for all.
OMG Ellie this is great reporting! There are lots of talented people doing amazing things to solve problems for human beings. The regular media gives you 1) climate crisis 2) race crisis 3) income inequality crisis 4) etc etc etc. Instead you give us people like Paolo -- with reals skin in the game -- who are providing solutions! I wish you rocket success in your venture. We have liftoff!
You really knocked this one out of the park. Well Done. I'm happy to see this industry taking off. As an retired USAF guy, glad to see the DoD stepping in with a contract, too. RED HORSE units in the Air Force could use these, perhaps modified to military specifications.
Boxabl mentioned back in 2020 Kevlar could go into the walls…
I’m wondering if they’re using them as emergency replacements for condemned base housing units.
“Mold, major leaks, and other mistreatment detailed in Senate’s military housing report”
In the Marine Corps we lived in WW2 squad bays sometimes.
I would like 7 units. For multiple places around the country for our housing. No need to trailer a large 5th wheel trailer all over the place.
so 7 units, would be more eficient in any materials, than 1 you could travel in? 5th wheels need to be empty on highways. yet you could use an RV, and even sleep in a bed while someone, or something else drives. Some with MPG better than the average imported sports car 2 seater...
@@gamerfortynine Comparing a 9.5 foot tall, 375 sqft Casita to a 5th wheel is crazy...
@@rule1capital so far, you all miss the point. Buy property around USA, place these on them. Then live/move as the year and weather conditions change. Own our own multiple properties like the Bill Gates of the world do. However affordable for retirement living. These help make owning multiple properties in multiple USA states. And live on those properties. Live lean, enjoy the nature of the property. Have multiple staging areas to see sections of the country while enjoying living on each property throughout the year.
Watching for the 2nd time at double speed on the video, it is fantastic (coming from someone who has seen every Boxabl interview)... I can tell you really spent a lot of time editing and prepping for the interview with Paolo, which is not always the case... Excellent work...
Watched a lot of Boxable videos and this one was the most in depth with the most info.
It is so annoying watching other UA-camrs try to make clickbait type of videos for Boxabl, where Ellie just gives you the info and lets you decide...
I agree
Agree most in depth to date good interviewer
Fantastic interview Ellie! This filled in my knowledge gap on Boxabl thoroughly. Paolo seems like a very approachable and person. All the best to his team and to you!
Good job Ellie, I want one.
Very interesting. Great vid.
Thanks *Ellie.* I absolutely _love_ this episode. I also love the *Boxabl* construction concept.
The question should be why *wouldn't* you build houses this way?
@@rogerstarkey5390 Shipping has always been the pain point for offsite construction, which the Boxabl guys have solved with years of design (2017-2020)... Additionally, the labor shortage/wage pressure for onsite construction workers is another advantage for Boxabl in the current economy...
Wonder what the wait time will s with a 5k deposit?
I'd love a lego style solution where you have A module, B, C and so on along with a second floor middle addition. So that you could use 4 modules + 2 middle addition and get a 2 story house with 2-3 bedrooms or 2 bedrooms, office, living room, bathroom, kitchen. Just snap it together and movie in, that would be a show of power that would stun everyone and more or less have the potential to solve any housing crisis.
Where I live there is a hidden crisis, where scalpers buy up everything the moment it goes in to be sold, then they do nothing except jacking up the price by 100K+ and resell the house. This has caused a problem that there is not enough started homes as most can't afford 2 bedroom + guestroom/office type houses, but it's what they need. Prices are rampant as a result, so new solutions are desperately needed.
Sadly I live in Norway where you have to build for temperatures from -25 C to 40 C and storm level winds. If your idea can withstand and be livable in such conditions then you'd really have something wonderful.
All of the different room module configurations have been on the company's website from the beginning... the Casita 20x20 was just the company's "minimal viable product" to get into the marketplace and make a name for themselves... Like yourself, I would sell my current house tomorrow if I could get 3-5 Boxabl room modules in a newbuild...
I don’t think people realize how difficult manufacturing is - and building a business to manufacture from scratch is. Paolo and Galiano have shown that they have rare skillset to do so many, many essential tasks to pull this off. Designing, marketing, fundraising, etc.
Most importantly, is that they’re good leaders. They infect their teammates with their vision and enthusiasm and treat them right and encourage them to innovate, contribute and grow with the company.
A rare find and why I think they’re going to succeed.
Getting from 0 factory production last year to around 400 this year is a fantastic accomplishment for that complex of a product... I think that journey will prove to be harder than scaling from 5,000 to 50,000 production at the current Factory 1 maxed out to the megafactory...
I agree just wondering why they have not even made 50 of these and the factory is empty, I ordered one a year ago and would love to have it NOW.. So is this really a NIKOLA thing?
@@tomyocom5886 I believe it's called a Ponzi scheme. Lol. Just saying.
They don't keep weather out. It's flush to the ground which is beyond stupid. Guess where snow and rain is going?
Look up Tim Carter Ask A Builder. Read everything on his page. He'll tell you, you ALWAYS step UP into a house for weather. Even a cheap trailer does so.
It does not take 2 years to build a factory to produce modular housing, something fishy going on here.
@@rozinant1237 I agree, Nocmarketing needed. Make them. I thought there was a huge line. I ordered one over a year ago so, what is up... The empty buildings. Make them, sell them. Make them already
So Tesla to become a Franchisee of Boxabl, to build a University and Campus, plus facilities for charging locations....?
🤔
Boxabl plans to keep factories company owned in the US and franchise in most other jurisdictions...
I’ll buy one just to put it in my back yard for a guest house
I have the same idea!
So will a lot of people
Yes, invite your in-laws to stay over, fold it back up and haul them away! :)
Nicely done.
Mars housing - here we come.
You want three boxabls or a
Tesla roadster?
Yea yea both. all of the above
your place, garage and quest quarters.
Very cool report. ty
I want a plaid model x and a boxabl plz
@@ellieinspace Why the X?
You make me laugh. No S or E ?
Now you are talking. You work hard
Okay I see X plaid - crossover. Ahh the gull wing. Nice.
Humm What is that a family vehicle?

Next exciting episode
for Ellie in Space
You just let him speak! Great. And you asked good questions.
The entire Boxabl concept in amazing. Your interviews just get better all the time Ellie; this was fascinating. Thank you👍
What makes it “amazing”?
Excellent presentation Ellie. This is definitely one of your best. You just keep coming up with great topics of interest. Keep it up girl!
Disruption at its finest. About time we rethink housing. Thanks for the information. Look forward to future updates.
My man is jacked 💪
I worked in a factory making similar box-type rooms over 20 years ago. I was on the saw section cutting the timber frames that would form the walls, roof, doors. CFC gas was used (before it was banned) to pump liquid insulation foam between the metal skin of the walls. You could literally heat the rooms with a candle the insulation was that good. It took a few days to produce a 40ft x 20 ft room, that cost €20,000, I believe. The customer had to make the foundations and concrete floor (with waste pipes and electrics) before the room could be erected which took only a few minutes to an hour. I haven't seen anything in this video to suggest there's new developments as the tour guide says, so I call bs on that. If the new part is "speed of production", then that's only down to the number of workers they have there; the more workers, the greater capacity for mass production.
How did they transport it? A simple truck?
A few days to build? These will take about a 15 minutes in about 2-3 years. It’s 4 hours now. It’ll be about 1 hour next year.
Boxabl is not comparable to non-turnkey units that don't have already included plumbing, electric, HVAC, turnkey utility hookups, all kitchen appliances, single washer/dryer combo, breaker box... Boxabl's differentiation is comparably low-cost, high-quality, scalable, but most importantly hyper fast production (hours/minutes vs 4-6 months)... And this is all only possible in the factory because of the fold-down IP...
@@radiofreealbemuth8540 Paolo stated, on current models, the Casita weighs about 15,000 pounds, which is pushing past the top-end towing capabilities of most standard consumer facing pickup trucks, like an F-150... However, I just did a quick Google search and found that an F-250/F-350/F-450 can potentially tow much more than that in appropriate configurations... At the other end of spectrum, a big rig could potentially pull 2 Casitas on a double trailer (20 feet long per Casita gets 40 feet of max 53 foot standard trailer length)...
Funny, how is it, that the company you worked for, didn’t grow large and become a world-altering producer of homes for the needy? Probably because it wasn’t possible. But hey, Boxabl has the magic formula, if only you’d invest.
Great comprehensive interview of a very topical subject. Thanks.
"We don't lug anything through doorways, because we put the door on afterwards." Amen. We're really living in the future.
I feel like you can take this 1 observation you made here and find another couple dozen like it, which when taken in aggregate, make the productivity step from current production methods to this process unlike any other single step change improvement in any industry for the past 100 years... it is a combination of Boxabl squeezing out newly unleashed offsite advantages combined with the sheer lack of productivity gains made by industry in the last 50 years...
Cool, thanks Ellie. No more waiting for 2 years for a house built from our specifications, from the ground up :-) and cement wasted from excess.
God bless.
This was really cool!
Great video!
Quality presentation.... Still looking forward to watching "Ellie on Mars" in a few years.
An amazing in-depth interview and wonderful exploration of the vision. I am totally hooked! Thanks Ellie!
That young man that gave the tour is very good. Very clearly spoken and very knowledgeable of the product. Thanks Ellie. Keep up the good work. Pete & Fran W. Canberra.
Great content Ellie! Thanks
Thank you for all your videos about Boxabl, I watched all of them. I am pleased that you have made these videos as I would love to get this Casita. Amazing. I really enjoyed watching you videos.
That was a ton of fun! Wow...a for real documentary, Ellie. And so well done. Have you done this before? 😉
Ellie was an on-air TV news reporter for eight years. Check out her other channel and see her tell her story.
This woman has many talents way beyond rock climbing.
30:27 They feared death via Elon from space Lazers!!!
One of your best videos!
Wow, thanks!
You have the coolest interviews. Such a cool thing happening there.
Hey Ellie! Love this video. Really great information.
I would like to get such a cool home, but the backlog sounds like it won't time with the end of my lease in Feb.
Probably not by then, but I would like one of these too, eventually!
@@ellieinspace I'll go in with you 2/3 in the Coca Beach/Cape Canaveral area. I can take my job with me out of Tampa, lol. 🌞
It will be awhile, but you can jump 95% of waitlist people by putting down a $5,000 deposit vs the standard $200 deposit...
Huge props for transparency and honesty
They're full of mold in Guantanamo Bay. AVOID.
Awesome tour and video! These are the future. Now if they just designed these to be StackAbl, the possibilities would really be endless.
Current gen1 models are rated for 3 stories, more in future
@@AndiGrant this is awesome! I commented before the end of the video and they showed them being stacked. Seems they thought of just about everything!
@@DATDesign - So, now that you see they are StackABL, it would seem, the Possibilities "Are" already Endless! (Still defined by your "$50,000" Budget Steps!)
Great topic! Thanks for highlighting!
This was great content Elliie. Thoroughly enjoyed it. More more.
This is amazing Ellie. I love how you find unique products and topics. This is better than a cabin in the woods. An ultra-modern space for privacy and relaxation! Very cool.
wow, the video came out great. It was definitely worth the wait.
Amazing...the product, the CEO, your interview and the video! Great job 👍
The last thing this CEO ever designed were makeup cases for women. Do a wiki search.
Thanks for sharing this Ellie!
Super interesting company, great CEO with a very cool mission. I'm definitely intrigued.
Great tour guide and beautifully clean and organized facility
Easily the best, most informative video about Boxabl I have seen. A world class video about a world changing idea and product.
Spot on... Too many UA-camrs try to make "gotcha" videos about Boxabl, instead of covering all the small product/system improvements that add up to one incredible opportunity...
Thanks - excellent interview. Fascinating to hear about the engineering and production philosophy. I can imagine other companies being stood-up to provide cosmetic or other customizations.
I would so live in one of these!
I got a WOW moment when they drove between those packed boxes outside, they were so small and yet it is a house (when unpacked ofc). Really WOW. Welcome to the future!
Great point... to get a good idea of the scale of the Boxabl's folded up for transportation... an 18-wheeler pulls trailers that are up to 53 feet long... 2 Boxabl units being pulled by a big rig would easily fit (40 feet, with 13 feet to spare)...
Great interview Ellie, you have natural talent in making people feel comfortable. You’re asking the key questions that are controversial, uncomfortable, aaaand what we’re all wanting to know lol….continued success!! Thanks! 😊 Go Boxabl!!! On and up. ✅
Very interesting and informative. Thanks ELlie
Loved this video. Thank you Ellie!
Awesome content!! This is really cool!😍
I think they should move to a counter depth refrigerator in the kitchen. That would open up the kitchen. We have that in our kitchen, and they are just taller, so you still get the same amount of space, but they don't stick out in the way, and they are easier to find things, because you can't bury items for far back that you lose them.
Agree
Love this
Cool tour! I want a Boxable now! 😫
great video!
A great video enjoyed it.
Terrific interview!
Thanks for a great informative video!
Damn. This is amazing, both the whole boxabl approach and your work on this video! I have been planning on touring the factory but this is so good I dont feel so bad for not being able to make it. I wish I had grabbed more shares during their recent offering I also cant wait for these to be available. On the wait list and hope to snag a couple once our number comes up. Very exciting!
What great coverage ES! The CEO was stoked to be able to show off BOXABL. :D
Such a great show!!! And awesome audio to boot!
We can all tell that being a former news anchor pays off in the audio department...
Thanks Ellie, Very Nice...!!!
Nice, then you have a roof over your head!
But what about infrastructure, energy, water, sewer, internet, roads?
Someone said, nice as a guest house..
I'm really interested, because we have a huge housing shortage in the Netherlands, but this doesn't solve anything, because infrastructure!
Still fun!
Tim
But you build infrastructure for ANY housing, then many months building the structures, with associated disruption.
This removes that.
Internet?
Communal Starlink.
If you want off-grid (solar, well, septic), this is ideal...
Brilliant Interview Ellie. Well done!
Thank you !
WELL DONE ELLIE... WELL DONE!!
THE FUTURE HAS CHANGED FOR THE BETTER... FOREVER!!!
AMEN

Really great work. Professional as ever and personable. Go Ellie.
The Lego idea is really cool. A cheap and cheerful single unit for a starter home, then tack on another unit if you start a family or get big pay raise (or finally pay off those student loans). No need to over-pay or over-commit for a traditional "forever home".
You can literally cash-flow your house expansion at your own pace...
Just a note, vehicle and other manufacturing industry production rates can be misleading. Whilst one unit may leave the assembly line at the rate of one every 2 minutes or even faster one every 60 seconds, that is not the time taken to produce one unit. A specific unit may take 2 weeks to get from one end of the assembly line to the other, and no unit can exit the assembly line faster than the slowest process along the line. So for vehicles to leave the line every minute, no process along the line can take longer than 60 seconds. Vehicles are more involved than an empty box, so seems should be feasible to get processes down to less than 1 minute, and have the line operate like water flowing along a pipe. Want to measure the outflow, not that it took 2 days for the water to travel across the country to the tap (faucet). So a matter of perspective, need to be comparing the same production parameters.
Cool upload I want one!!
Excellent video, Ellie.
This product looks amazing.
Thanks Elianna, you make fun videos.
Thats really awesome, I wanted to order one of these when I moved here to Az. Ironic that mine is about an hour from me. Great tour and seem like really cool place.
Very good video, Ellie.
Amazing job from Ellie!
Wonderfully done Ellie. Paolo and the whole Boxabl team and theme park factory are awesome. Elon’s being customer number one was the best part for me until you had to go Vanna White mode. ROFL. Loved the VR tour too. Looking forward to your next video!
Hey thanks for the video! I've been looking everywhere for IRL footage of 2 level - stacked Casitas, can you cover more of that please, if possible, thanks!
Such a great idea!
2:26-2:33 I feel like I just won a battle in final fantasy 10
Those future products renderings tell me this company knows where to go, their product today reflects them knowing where to start
Paolo and Galiano don't even talk about this anymore, but before they knew the Casita product would go viral, they were only planning on producing 1 per day at production Factory 1 (where there are producing now), but 10x those plans after the demand for product/investment blew up... even at that point in summer 2020, their website and promo videos already had the future roadmap for different room modules that would lego together... the Casita was such a smart choice for "minimum viable product" to get the "room module" idea into the market...
Technically, it's still Ellie in Space, because boxabl deal with usable living Space
It was nice seeing the production process, great video Ellie! I wished they were available to take order and build because I would buy one now. Oh yeah you deserve the compliment on your beautiful brilliant Blue eyes.👀
Fun report Ellie!
Well done! I hope they'll create a factory in business friendly No. Carolina too! I'd love to buy one for a campground instead of an RV, but shipping costs, west to east coast, are very expensive!
Cheers, Eric
One of the snags that has always hit the prefab market is local codes. They will be up against the unions in many places that will see them as a threat. Hurricane codes in states along the gulf & East coast. Lots of barriers to over come for national distribution.
Many are hoping the DR Horton investment and strategic partnership (not mentioned in interview, but announced on 4/25/22) goes a long way toward helping on this front...
Good idea
If you (anybody) have no manufacturing experience then you really don’t understand how difficult it is to get these units priced at $50,000 starting. My company I run with just my brother and my dad we build something similar to this but it’s not foldable and we have to sell
It at $80,000 just to stay profitable and pay a decent salary for us all. We don’t have workers and our warehouse is small (1800sqft) and it’s still extremely difficult. Props to Boxabl.
What’s your assessment of the venture and product from what you’ve seen?
They’re not 50K, they’re 60K now. They don’t have a sloped roof or a foundation. At the end of the day this will bring them up to the same 80K, and I bet your product is easily customized to the desires of your client.
Another innovative manufacturer that's under the control of industrial designers and engineers. More of this.
The best part about Boxabl, even before the initial crowdfund round, was that Paolo put in millions of his own money, as well as sweat equity, to develop all the initial Casita IP from 2017-2020... I was much more willing to invest in a product when the founder has gone all-in before asking for a dime from you...
Love this product. Such excellent engineering. The automated goal is the way to go to mass produce panels at higher speeds. I’m thinking this simple and modular design could be my next home
