      Jaquon Argon yes, but this is just a prototype. As they make certain parts cheaper and more efficient, and as they are able to standardize more parts for mass production, it will get cheaper and cheaper, as well as having the unfold speed quicken.

    It seems like a few things weren't thought of. Like, where does the power come from? What if the thing malfunctions and crushes you into a pancake? Also, a fully functioning 700 sq. foot place costs much less than $130,000 in most states/countries.

      probably because you can move your home across the country from lot to lot instead of paying for multiple homes and multiple insurance policies. Hence the " cost effective " pricing

    • @originalShorai
      @originalShorai 7 років тому

      It's not though. This would still be classed as a mobile home. There is a reason you don't really see too many 100K mobile homes. Banks won't finance them. So the only people buying these are people who can already afford all that or maybe FEMA if they ever run out of 30-year-old RVs and Trailers.

    • @martyc4993
      @martyc4993 6 років тому

      Yes because there's no cost involved in building then and they could basically give them away for free. Idiot...if you spend 3 months per house you have to sell 4 a year and make enough money to earn a living and pay the workers so they can earn a living. Go take an accounting course and get a clue. Tiny homes are meant to simplify life, create more quality Time by not having to maintain a large structure and property and to live more efficiently - not to get a house for free jackwagon.

    The 1 major flaw I noticed was that it has no built in insulation, and you could tell it has no bathroom. Not even a portable one. Not sure how 1 would set up their plumbing for that type of home. Plus I can see a person freezing their but off during cold climate changes.
    Personally I see this for people who own businesses and need a portable office if they plan on staying at a specific location long and don't want to rent out a trailer.
    I would market this to people who want to start a business but don't have the funds to pay for heavy construction. Instead of people who need an actual home to live in. I can literally see this being for clothing shops, architect offices, small coffee shops, designer crafts store, yoga studio, etc. I would reach out to that market instead. Yet I guess they're trying to do like Japan with the portable hotels.
