Tesla Diner & Drive-In, a much-anticipated exaggeration facility that combines retro nostalgia with the futuristic and the automaker’s fast charging network, officially opened Monday at 4:20pm in Hollywood, California.
Tesla Diner & Drive-In is where Tesla drivers charge their EVs and get burgers, hot dogs or other classic diner menu items (where Eater is fully shared). With each report from not being a Tesla app, the diner, loaded with Tesla branded merchandise, Optimus Robot and two 45-foot LED movie screens, is clearly hoping to attract more than Tesla owners.
It’s too early to tell if a diner, which boasts a drive-in cinema that syncs with 80 V4 supercharger stalls and speakers inside the driver Tesla, will become a permanent fixture in Hollywood. The long queue of people who lined up on Monday morning suggests that the diners will attract crowds for a while.
Even before the doors officially opened, Tesla CEO Elon Musk meditated on establishing more diners around the world.
“If our retro-futistic diners work out, I think @Tesla will establish these in supercharged sites for major cities around the world and long-distance routes,” Musk posted on X.
