Tiny-home startup Boxabl amassed a 160,000-person wait list since Elon Musk was linked to a Casita.
Many people made down payments months or years ago, but Boxabl has only built 400 homes in a year.
Max, who put down a $2,400 deposit for a Casita in 2021, told Insider he is fed up with the delay.

Customers of Boxabl — the North Las Vegas-based tiny-home startup that its founders said is worth $3 billion — said that they've been waiting years to receive their orders.

They told Insider they've received little communication from the company about when the homes, called Casitas, will be finished.
