In Houston, Texas, a groundbreaking communityof homes fully powered by Tesla technology is
making waves in the real estate market.
This enclave, located in the Oaks of ShadyAcres neighborhood, features 11 homes equipped
with Tesla's solar roof shingles, Powerwallbattery storage, and electric vehicle chargers,
(00:24):
ensuring uninterrupted power supply even inTexas's famously unstable grid conditions.
These homes are a first of their kind in NorthAmerica, and they're selling like hotcakes.

Priced between $524,000 and $544,900, thesehomes may be above Houston's median listing
price of $365,000, but they offer anunparalleled blend of sustainability and modern
(01:15):
luxury.
Each home features corrosion-resistant steelsolar tiles, floor-to-ceiling windows, and
premium amenities like Quartz countertops andspa-like bathrooms.
It's no wonder they're attracting "normal,everyday people" as well as international
buyers eager to invest in this cutting-edgetechnology.
The appeal of these homes goes beyondaesthetics and technology.
(01:39):
The energy independence they provide eliminateselectric bills and ensures 24/7 outage
protection.

Tesla-powered homes marks a significant shifttoward clean energy.
"We're not selling sunset; we're sellingpower," she boldly states, hinting at a

continued role in the Trump administrationcould drastically alter Tesla's future.
Despite these headwinds, Elon Musk remains thewealthiest person on the planet, although his
net worth took a significant hit, shrinking by$10 billion during the stock's slide.
Yet, his fortune still towers at $354 billion,keeping him far ahead of Jeff Bezos, the
(06:28):
second-richest person with $165 billion less.
It's a pivotal moment for Tesla and Musk.
As we await the earnings call, all eyes are onthe potential for a turnaround strategy.
The market is watching closely, and the stakesare high.

India and to solidify Tesla's presence in Asia.
But that's not all.
Starlink, Musk's satellite-based internetservice, is also making strides in India.
The company has already partnered with twoIndian firms to bring high-speed internet to
(07:54):
underserved areas.
This initiative could revolutionizeconnectivity in rural and remote regions,
opening up new opportunities for education,healthcare, and business.
In a bid to reduce dependency on China, Musk isalso exploring deals with Indian semiconductor
and chip manufacturers.
(08:14):
