The first futuristic-looking Tesla Diner restaurant opened in California Monday.

Overview

  • The Tesla Hollywood Diner & Drive-In opened July 21 and operates 24/7, combining dine-in seating with 80 V4 Supercharger stalls that serve Tesla and other NACS-compatible EVs.
  • Two 45-foot LED screens anchor the drive-in experience, streaming video whose audio syncs directly into Teslas for an immersive in-car movie night.
  • Tesla owners can place orders via their car’s touchscreen for classic diner fare—burgers, hot dogs, wings, fries and milkshakes—curated by chef Eric Greenspan and delivered by Optimus robots and roller-skating staff.
  • A soft launch over the weekend led into Elon Musk’s July 14 visit and an official opening that drew hours-long lines of enthusiasts eager to test the retro-futuristic concept.
  • Elon Musk has signaled plans to roll out similar Supercharger-diner hybrids in major cities worldwide and at SpaceX’s Starbase if the Hollywood prototype succeeds.
