A man built a tiny house in seven days for just $25,000.

The home also came complete with a tiny bathroom and miniature outside area.

But is it too good to be true?

A healthy competition between siblings but there can only be one winner

A savvy man built a tiny house that runs on a Cybertruck in a competition with his sister.

The siblings were waiting for their mom to judge the winner, so both got to work making their homes.

Matthew made his just like a home- with even a flashy water feature, where as his sister Cheyanne made hers more like a castle.

But, Matthew’s had one winning quality- it ran on a Cybertruck.

Baring in mind he had a budget of around $8,000- he went considerably over, and had the added cost of the electric vehicle too.

The 2025 Tesla Cybertruck starts at a whopping $81,985.

And according to Tesla it is “Durable and rugged enough to go anywhere.”

It can also “tackle anything with electronically adaptive air suspension that offers 12” of travel and 16” of clearance”- making it the perfect home buddy.

Matthew’s sister went on to build a castle with less of a home resemblance, but then again Matthew’s had a huge gaming focus with Lego block interior and custom Nintendo features- not really appealing to his mom’s taste.

It was castle vs gaming house with a Cybertruck powering it’s smart gadgets

Despite the pair both pulling it of the bag, with Cheyenne’s featuring an elevator and even a fire breathing dragon, only one person could take home the crown.

But, the more functional side of Matthew’s thrifty, small build and the Tesla allowed him to take the win over his sibling.

His Cybertruck powered house that even had a basketball hoop and flashy water feature and a miniature hidden toilet was the favourite.

But what will happen when the Cybertruck starts to lose charge? The futuristic appeal may die, along with the battery.
