Why Housing — And Why Now?


 

 

Sustainability at the Core

  • 3D-printed structures using recycled materials
  • Construction costs as low as $10,000–$15,000 per unit, compared to the U.S. average of over $200,000
  • Tesla solar roof panels and energy storage via Powerwall
  • Rainwater collection and greywater systems
  • Smart lighting, climate control, and appliance integration

Hopeful Applause — and Skepticism

  • Will the homes meet local building codes and zoning laws?
  • Who will own and maintain the properties over time?
  • Can the model be replicated in high-density urban environments?

A New Chapter in Musk’s Legacy?


 

What’s Next: Timeline and Expansion Potential

  • September 2025: Construction begins on the first Genesis site in Texas
  • December 2025: First 10 homes completed and opened to volunteer residents
  • Early 2026: Full community evaluation and potential greenlight for expansion
