The Sandpoint City Council voted 4-2 to begin construction of a modified version of the City Beach RV Park renovation project this winter. The essential option will use roughly $270,000 of the construction budget and will not include a restroom and shower facility, which is delayed to a later date. The signature option, retaining the restroom and shower, would cost about $660,000 and delay construction for a year. The city plans to apply for additional grants in January to eventually build the restroom and shower facility.

Prices for such trailers in the US start at 54,000 euros, while larger, custom or limited-production models can exceed 210,000 euros. Musk has previously slept at Tesla factories and Twitter headquarters, and in 2021 he stayed in a Boxabl prefab home in Texas.
