90% figure dropped with zero source — pure hype stat.
51-inch sidewalls give plenty of headroom — BS (20/100)
51 inches is 4'3" — most adults will duck. That's not headroom, that's a crawl space.

800 sq ft with 3 baths for $26k sounds like a listing error — real Amazon tiny homes are far smaller.
Portable capsule HomePod at $37,500 on Amazon is a complete move-in ready home — Dubious (40/100)
