We'll make it clearer on the website, but the 49k version includes a 1.5kw solar array, ~15kwh of battery storage, all water systems, full smart home functionality (ie 'alexa, trigger windows' to go from transparent to opaque), and furnishings down to the utensils. Our 9k barebones model is closer to how most mobile homes I've seen are outfitted (but with better insulation and design in a boxouse); looks like these average over 60k new: http://www.dailyyonder.com/manufactured-housing-sales-bounce... . am i missing something?

Hi Luke, Thanks for taking the time to talk with us and your efforts on tackling the housing problems.

One question, is the main focus of the business to manufacture and sell the Box houses or offer then for renting with AirBnB or similar sites? If the latter do you have some planed strategy to lower the high CAPEX needed for scaling?

[liseman]

Both, balancing the capex needs for the latter via sales as I scale:)

That's pretty epic to have a fully functional human nest for 49k.

Is there a place where I can try them out. I will be visiting SF and definitely want to experience staying in a container home before deciding to make a call.

A dream of mine is to buy some land in a remote place with a gorgeous view and place a container home there.

Does the 49k version have a toilet?

[liseman]

Yes: toilet, shower, water heater, kitchen sink.

Does anyone know the details of the toilet? My guess is that it is a composting toilet? https://duckduckgo.com/?q=composting+toilet&ia=web

[alexhutcheson]

Where is the toilet? I assume that the big silver tub is the shower, but it's not clear where the toilet would be.

The shower is also the toilet. It's a big basin which you rinse with water. What's the real difference?

Please someone confirm this isn't true...
