Elon Musk’s Tesla has opened a restaurant in Hollywood, California that combines classic American diner food, “mega screens” for movie viewing and charging for Tesla and non-Tesla drivers alike.
The Tesla Diner is open 24 hours a day and features 250 seats for dining. It also boasts 80 V4 “Supercharger” stalls, making it the largest urban supercharging station in the world.
“If our retro-futuristic diner turns out well, which I think it will, @Tesla will establish these in major cities around the world, as well as at Supercharger sites on long distance routes,” Musk wrote on X. “An island of good food, good vibes & entertainment, all while Supercharging!”
Located on Santa Monica Boulevard, the two-storey Tesla Diner has a ‘retro-futuristic’ design, along with two 66ft LED mega screens. Movies and other special features can be viewed from the restaurant’s upper-level ‘Skypad’. In a modern twist on drive-in theatres, patrons can also watch the movies inside their Tesla vehicle in the parking lot using the Tesla Diner app.
Food can be ordered inside the diner or from inside a Tesla. The selection includes diner classics such as burgers, hot dogs, tuna melts and club sandwiches, along with desserts, coffee drinks, iced tea and fountain drinks. The restaurant also is selling a limited selection of “exclusive merchandise”, including “supercharged gummies” and a retro diner tee featuring the Tesla Diner graphic.
