8 things to know about the first-ever Tesla Diner
8 things to know about the first-ever Tesla Diner-December 2024
2025-07-22 EDT 02:48:53

Tesla has just opened its first-ever diner, in Hollywood, California, as part of a themed Supercharger station. As it welcomed its first visitors on Monday night, the automaker released a video offering a look inside the Tesla Diner.

Whats the theme? The Tesla Diner combines 1950s American drive-in diner aesthetics with a super-modern Tesla-inspired interior, creating a blend of nostalgia and innovation. At least, thats the aim.

Recommended Videos Where is it? The Tesla Diner is located at 7001 Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood, Los Angeles, about a 20-minute stroll from Hollywoods legendary Walk of Fame.

Related: Best new movies to stream on Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, HBO Max, and more I live nowhere near! Will Tesla open a diner near me? Perhaps. Musk revealed on Monday that if the Tesla Diner proves popular, it could build more of them at Supercharger locations in major cities around the world as well as along popular long-distance routes.

I dont have a Tesla. Can I still go to the Tesla Diner?Of course. The diner offers 80 Tesla V4 Superchargers, enabling Tesla vehicle owners, or indeed any EV owner with a compatible connector, to recharge their vehicles while enjoying food and entertainment. And anyone in the vicinity can drop by the diner EV or no EV.

Is there an Elon Burger on the menu? Certainly not. Well, not yet, anyway. There is, however, a Tesla Burger ($13.50) along with diner favorites such as hot dogs ($13), egg sandwiches ($12), hash brown bites ($8), and grilled cheese ($9), and a range of drinks, too. In another Tesla-inspired twist, the food is served in containers based on the Cybertruck design:

What are those two massive screens in the parking lot? The Tesla Diner features two 45-foot LED screens for a drive-in movie experience, with audio and video synced directly to Tesla cars touchscreen so that you can enjoy the entertainment seamlessly. You can also watch presentations from the Skypad, the diners rooftop terrace. Expect to see short films, and probably some ads, too. For Tesla EVs.

Is the Tesla Bot serving customers? Teslas humanoid robot Optimus has indeed been seen serving (popcorn), showing off Teslas integration of robotics and automation within the venue. However, its not yet clear if its going to be a regular part of the serving team. But the robot also on display (switched off!), so look out for it. Otherwise its all human staff, some of them on roller-skates.

Hang on, why has Tesla even opened a diner? It was the idea of its CEO, Elon Musk, who said back in 2019 that he wanted to put an old-school drive-in, roller skates and rock restaurant at one of the new Tesla Supercharger locations in LA. Essentially, its an effort to make the charging experience more fun instead of just a routine stop.
