"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...

[@metamorphs96]

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.

[@SQLMonger]

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!

[@radiofreealbemuth8540]

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 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.

[@radiofreealbemuth8540]

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.

[@rule1capital]

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...

[@rule1capital]

@@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)...

[@rozinant1237]

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.

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.

[@rule1capital]

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...

Nah we need more NON housing options. Try and figure out how to go buy a piece of land, and create your own home to live in. P.S. its not legal and can be torn down if it doesnt meet aproved building codes.

@@gamerfortynine Unincorporated areas have no building codes because there's no one to enforce it.

With a lights-out robotic facility I am curious how they'll handle the electrical wiring. Traditional electrical outlets seem like something that would be hard for a robot to handle. I wonder custom receptacles and switches will be something they will have to design just for the Boxable assembly line robots.

If you listen closely again, Paolo said they want to be technically able to do that, but "Would NOT" do that in practice...

[@jjones2582]

@@rule1capital 23:34 - I think you misunderstood. He was saying they wouldn't actually turn the lights out because that would be stupid. Not that they wouldn't have a full lights-out factory, which is a term unrelated to the status of the actual lights.

[@rule1capital]

@@jjones2582 There are actual factories in China that will turn off the lights to save money (not smart lol), so that is why I just wanted to clarify...

Excellent video, Ellie.

[@analyst1777]

Love the company and the concept! My only concern as an investor is the large number of shares. I hope in the future once they get profitable they will buy some share back.

I would like a Boxabl on a small lot on Maui no fancy mansion needed. Great tour Ellie

Priced property in Maui lately?

Those future products renderings tell me this company knows where to go, their product today reflects them knowing where to start

[@rule1capital]

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...

[@alanbrady420]

Cool upload I want one!!

[@aphaileeja]

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!

[@webbtrekker534]

Interesting. This is a bit like the folks in Austin and their modular homes.

Superbly done! I've heard of this company, but never went out of my way to research it. I think it's one of those "Elon has one, so it must be good" mentality. Thanks again.
