I have so many questions: 01. - How good is the sound proofing? I ask because some people have home studios when they do work for commercials, movies & even music production. 02. - How good is the insulation for winter season that hits 5­°F on average? 03. - How secure are the windows & doors. (are the doors kick-proofed) so much crimes regarding kick-in robberies, that people are forced to purchase kick-proof kits from Home-Depot. Some construction companies are now also installing front doors frames that are 8"x6" or 12"x6" thick jams on both sides of doorway, so frame don't split when door gets kicked. Other companies are also installing break proofed windows. It was tested on several daytime talk shows & news. As they tested crowbars, bats & windows stayed intact. Sorry to keep going on about this, but in these days we live in a very cruel world that this happens and crime are spiking regarding this. 2023 that's the way the world is now. 04. - How are the seals in between each box and fold out platforms? How are they sealed from water, weather and damages? And are the seals under warranty? 05. - Are these structures energy efficient and do these structures have triple-pane windows, which is now standard in most new homes? 06. - How is this box-house secured to the foundation? 07. - Does the company have warranty for these box-houses in case of problems? 08. - Do these box-houses come in other colors selection by customers, or only white? 09. - Can a customer purchase extension aka add-on for additional space years later after buying the main part of the box-house? 10. - Can people customize the layout of the house the way they want it, or is the layout only available in certain presets? 11. - What are the walls made of? wood, plastic, sheetshock? 12. - If a person does not want the house sitting on the ground, but on a bit higher foundation, maybe 6 to 8 steps up to get into the house front door, is that possible? 13. - Are there structures for basement levels with no windows? Anyways, very cool idea to try to solve housing problems or the poor and elderly. I think that part in a previous video I seen was very very heart warming. This is what this world needs, more companies that care about the disabled and elderly who only have a few years lift in their lives, to have comfortable homes.

These are great questions!

So, When is the fully integrated Tesla version being announced? 😉 (He said only half joking)

Yeah happy belated pride month my dude

Great thoughts and feedback as always John, thanks for watching

100%

@@KerryTarnow Kerry, of all the products you’ve reviewed, do you think Boxabl is one of the best or the best? If so, why?

Technically there isn't a housing shortage, there's just a problem with investment companies buying up so many properties and sitting on them, or renting them out for insanely high prices that nobody can afford. But I get you.

@@Riverbreak thank you for your comment. Several realtors have told me the same thing about the current market.

Glad you like it, thanks for watching

Definitely! Code requires a 2 car garage & I’m terrified abt site prep costs.

Yes, I am looking for a garage too. I saw a garage in one of their renderings, so I hope it is on their To Do List. If code regulations require a garage or at least more square feet - adding one might make it easier to fit these into existing communities. I sure hope so. Thanks Kerry, I've been trying to scrap together enough money to walk through one of these myself, but the budget is too tight right now. So thank you for making this trip worth any wait I might have.

@@marikoyatsu3928 Not sure why site prep would be an issue at all compared to normal build... And for the garage and Boxabl... The best way in future models to get a "free open air, covered garage" would be to put a 20x40 on the ground floor and then a 2nd floor 20x40 that sticks out over the front by 15 feet... This would give you a 20 feet wide by 15 feet long overhead cover... Could finish sides of garage with cheaper framing and then also have 15 feet patio on back on 2nd floor too...

I was very concerned someone was going to take my phone 😆

For sure! Thanks for watching 🙌🏼

My pleasure, thanks for watching 🙌🏼

You are so welcome!

Wow thanks Billy! That means a lot, appreciate the feedback and will try to do more like this 🙌🏼

Glad you’re enjoying the videos! Thanks for watching

More to come!

There will be a ton more potential interesting configurations when Boxabl introduces 20x30 and 20x40 room modules, to complement the current 20x20... The larger ones will be coming at Boxabl's next scale of Megafactory, "Boxzilla"...

Thank you! Appreciate that

Glad you like it!

Fair enough! Thanks for watching

Actually Boxabl’s very FIRST show prototype was a 2 Bedroom side-by-side attached casitas. Its on YT Boxabl Builders Show 2019 video. :)

Thanks for watching!

Yes I asked what was happening to this one and that’s exactly where its headed

What makes you think this is the runaway favorite in the industry?

@@radiofreealbemuth8540 Just an opinion, I live in Vegas, the typical condo is $150-200k in ok places. putting one of these on a plot of land lets say would put you at $250k, as a house it would compare to houses $350 +. I expect them to lower costs as they ramp up and by the time they start these, should have a very efficient operation. With the wait list, I would say they must have a quality product.

I have a video showing a few of the exteriors coming!

I’m trying to understand math in all this…boxabl has 150,000 waiting list. If they can make 80 casitas in a day they can make 150,000 casitas in 5 years…but boxabl can only make 6 casitas a day currently…they want to make 20 casitas a day but that is still enough. Do we have to wait 10 years to get our casita if we get on the waiting list today?

@@benjiebarker the goal is 1 minute 1 casista.

Glad you like it!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Sounds like some developments in the works! Glad you enjoyed this style of video. Hoping to do it more

Not all markets in North America, but hundreds of millions of people will be in markets where Boxabl will compete with new build low-end market on price...

Thank you!!

For sure! I believe they put one near UCLA for a similar reason

@@KerryTarnow Any suggestions on who I might contact and how to approach them?

Cool! The tour is fun if you’re in that area again

Great idea!

Just to be clear, was your reference to 4 units separate from the video? That IBS showcase unit was 3 units, and you get the "free" 2nd floor patio on the roof... At next scale of factory, will be able to get 2 20x40 units, instead of 4 20x20 in that size range...

@@rule1capital correct. If they do the 2 longer units, all the better.

@@macweber With the future 20x40 units, Paolo talked about being able to have a 40 feet clear span... That would be a stunning feature if they can pull it off...

There is talks of a 20x40!

20x30 and 20x40 are in the plans at next scale of factory, "Boxzilla"... Current Factory 1/2 production is expected to reach 5,000 units per year... While "Boxzilla" could start at 25,000 units per year and expand all the way to 100,000 units per year...

@@KerryTarnow yeah, I think where the current shower now if they move the washer and put a full-size dryer there and use the toilet and sink as a half bath that connected to a separate shower room that would be in the extra 20 ft.² area. They need to think of more retiring seniors. 20 x 40 is all I need for the next 10 years, as soon as I dump all my crap this summer at a yard sale I’m really wanting to severely downsize. Only thing I really don’t like is how close the fridge is to the stove and I would rather have more counter space and move the fridge where the little flip out table is now or across the way on the other side, extending into the living space if necessary, in a larger unit

Thanks for watching 🙌🏼

Haha! This one is actually new-ish I just got the same color 😂

That would be cool!

Thanks for tuning in!

Ok I will try! Thanks for the feedback

Great idea! Thank you 🙌🏼

Hi Marian! Glad you enjoyed the video and like the new model. Thanks for watching 🙌🏼

Glad you like it!

exactly!

Thanks Andi!! Appreciate you tuning in

So $160K + land and land prep/grading, etc ($100,000+ in CA) + foundation + install + roofing system + utility hookup = over $300K. Fantastic deal!!

Thanks for watching

Awesome! Thank you!

It did! It wasn’t hot but the sun was shining. Thanks for watching Joe

Thank you 🙌🏼

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed this style of video. It was fun to make

Agreed, this is right toward the minimum viable size for families... The real game changer is 2 20x40 vertically stacked units... offset length wise by 15 feet to provide the top of a garage in front downstairs and a 15x20 2nd floor patio in the back, like the show units here... The 20x40 will be built at "Boxzilla", the next scale of Boxabl megafactory...

They’re making some big moves, I have a follow up video that talks more about whats coming next…

@@KerryTarnow awesome, I look forward to seeing it. I have been in real estate for a while with rental properties and it's refreshing seeing a new industry coming. I am very big on tiny homes. Great content Sir

Thanks for watching!!

+ land and land prep/grading, etc + foundation + install + roofing system + utility hookup = would end up being $200-$300K+ depending on where you live.

It does make sense!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! Glad you like it 🙌🏼

I bet the vast majority of customers will want standard interior staircase, but they were comprising for the trade show to jam as much as possible in there... Boxabl has standard floor plan layout designs dating back to 2020, but haven't been ready to push those on the marketing front since Casita scaling comes first...

Ok! Thanks for watching

Thanks so much!

Even if you can only afford 2 units that are both on the ground floor... That means you could have 2 "free" rooftop decks, since the decks are just the rooftop of bottom floor Casita... Just need outdoor staircase like in the show units in video and railing... Benefits of flat, strong roof on the units...

Yes he did, I have more info on the possible location in an upcoming vid!

Haha you’re welcome! Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching 🙌🏼

Thanks for watching Mark 🙌🏼

Agreed... the next scale of Boxabl megafactory, "Boxzilla", is aiming for annual production to start at 25K units and possibly grow to 100K units... To your point, the next scale factory will introduce 20x40 room modules... For my Boxabl build, I want a minimum of 2 20x40 units... A 40 feet clearspan will look incredible...

Thanks Eileen!

Glad you like it Michael

@@rule1capital which would need separate garages unless the structure had massive driveways or a separate structure.

@@michaelbindner9883 My point was with offset 20x40 units... With 2nd floor 20x40 hanging 15x20 feet over the 1st floor... You are getting a "free" open-air garage ceiling... If you are already getting a foundation, you could have it poured for that extra 15x20 "covered garage"... Then, it would probably be cheaper just to do standard wood framing for sides of garage, if you want to fully enclose... Much cheaper than whole extra unit...

Great idea... I was thinking that a lot of people would want to cover the patio and screen it in...

@@rule1capital Right. I’m too fair skinned to stay out in the sun but love to read and eat outside. At the cost of the house you could easily add a pool if the property were expansive enough. It would be great to be up on the patio watching the kids and cooking lunch for the crew.

Good thought Kim!

I thought the same thing!

The plumbing in all of the Boxabl building shells is very simple, based on necessity... Since all units shown above; (A) Casita, (B) Jack-and-Jill Bedroom, and (C) Master Bedroom all foldup to 8.5x20 for shipping... Only one wall has has all the plumbing along it... Makes the total length of plumbing lines insanely small and simple...

You can!

Check out how strong Boxabl wall panels are in this official video... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ipOkadFqm9O7Z6M.html

Thanks so much!

Bummer! I was only there for Wednesday

Thanks for the feedback James!

Thank you! Appreciate you tuning in 🙌🏼

Replace spiral staircase with a cage-style elevator for $20k! Especially since the top floor landing is in an alcove.

@@AndiGrant I was thinking flip the Master on the 1st floor and let the younger guests enjoy the spiral yayyyyy LoL

@@SA-qx7fx Yes master on bottom floor is better and much less costly, but only if you have windows and no door on the top floor or some parents would never know where their teenagers were! 😄 I was master sneaker-outter. My brother was my accomplice!

Thanks for watching 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Thank you 🙌🏼

Yeah I have another video planned about some of the next moves for the company

thanks for watching

Exactly! 🤦‍♀️

Boxabl is going as fast as they responsibly financially can... Q4 2021 - 33 units... 2022 - Built ~270 units... 2023 - Opening Factory 2, reorg of Factory 1, and Install $15m of new equipment; Goal to get annual production rates up above 5,000 units per year at Factory 1/2... But late-stage private lending markets have been tight and Boxabl wants $1 Billion to build factory with up to 100K annual production...

@@rule1capital In other words, better look at other options!

I am.
