Overview

  • Chef Eric Greenspan pared back the menu to streamline service, removing items such as market salad, club sandwich, hash brown bites and all-day waffles.
  • Soft serve ice cream and biscuits are scheduled to return once local suppliers catch up with unprecedented order volumes.
  • Only Tesla drivers can access full 24-hour service through in-car console orders, while all customers receive dine-in service from 6 a.m. to midnight.
  • The two-story retro-futuristic venue combines an 80-stall Supercharger station, a 1950s-style diner and dual drive-in movie screens staffed by roller-skating carhops and Tesla’s Optimus robots.
  • Solar canopies over the charging stalls are expected to cut about 26.6 million pounds of CO₂ annually under Tesla’s sustainability and local sourcing initiatives.
