⚠️ Controversy? What Controversy? Tesla Homes Are Still a Hot Ticket
Despite the global headlines swirling around Elon Musk’s ties to the Trump administration and his controversial government role as the new “DOGE Czar,” a revolutionary new housing development powered entirely by Tesla clean-energy tech is flying off the market in Houston, Texas.
Broker Jamie Fallon of NextGen Realty says demand for the homes is exploding, even in the heart of oil country.
“We’ve had over 150 people at our broker’s open—people were losing their minds. It’s Tesla-powered. It’s cutting-edge. Houston’s never seen anything like this,” Fallon told Realtor.com.
Tesla-powered homes are flying off the market in Houston, the oil and gas hub of the world, despite the recent backlash against Elon Musk.
🌞 Welcome to the Future: Tesla Powerwalls, Solar Roofs & 24/7 Energy Security
Each of the 11 high-tech homes in the Oaks of Shady Acres subdivision features:
-
🧱 Tesla Solar Roof Shingles — durable steel tiles that are corrosion and weather-resistant
-
🔋 Tesla Powerwalls — advanced home battery systems for total grid independence
-
🚗 EV Charging Stations — seamlessly built into the garage
-
💡 Backup Energy Supply — uninterrupted power during outages
“When we lose power in Houston, it’s gone for five days,” Fallon explains. “These homes change that. This isn’t about politics—it’s about power.”

📈 Why These Homes Are Changing the Real Estate Game
Houston’s median house price is around $365,000—but these homes range between $524,000 and $544,900, about $180,000 more. And buyers aren’t flinching.
Fallon reveals that interested parties have come from across the U.S.—from Washington State to Florida—and even international buyers are trying to snag a Tesla-powered home.
“These buyers aren’t celebrities. They’re everyday people who want a future-proof home,” Fallon says. “This is the beginning of a clean energy real estate movement.”

🏘️ From Oil Capital to Energy Innovation Hub
Houston has long been the epicenter of oil and gas—but these homes may signal a major cultural and economic shift. In a state heavily reliant on fossil fuels, the arrival of Tesla-powered homes could kickstart a new wave of sustainable development.
“We’re not just selling homes,” Fallon says. “We’re selling energy independence.”
She adds that she’s now planning to install Tesla roof shingles on her own home, despite not yet owning one of the new listings.
🔮 What’s Next for Tesla Real Estate?
While only 4 of the original 11 homes remain, the success of the community has set a precedent. Fallon predicts more Tesla-powered neighborhoods could start popping up—not just in Texas, but nationwide.
“There’s a mindset shift happening,” she says. “People want resilience, control, and sustainability in their homes. Tesla is delivering exactly that.”
And with the political landscape uncertain, many are turning to the certainty of clean energy.
