Tesla’s retro-futuristic diner with Superchargers and big film screens is able to open, and I’ve to confess, it seems fairly sick.
This mission has been within the works for a very long time.
In 2018, Elon Musk stated that Tesla deliberate to open an “old style drive-in, curler skates & rock restaurant at one of many new Tesla Supercharger places in Los Angeles.” It was one more “Is he joking?” sort of Elon Musk concept, however he wasn’t kidding.
A number of months later, Tesla utilized for constructing permits for “a restaurant and Supercharger station” at a location in Santa Monica. Nonetheless, the mission stalled for a very long time, apparently as a consequence of native laws.
Nonetheless, Tesla nonetheless moved ahead with a Supercharger on the location, but it surely needed to transfer the diner mission to Hollywood. In 2022, Tesla filed the development plans with town, giving us the primary take a look at what the automaker intends to construct.
In 2023, the automaker broke floor on the location of the diner.
7 years after being initially introduced, the mission seems now able to open:
Musk stated that he ate on the diner final night time and claimed that it’s “one of many coolest spots in LA.” He didn’t say when it can open, however Tesla autos have been noticed at Supercharger and other people seem like testing the dinning expertise inside.
A Tesla Optimus Robotic will be seen contained in the diner on a take a look at rack. It seems like Tesla would possibly use one for some duties contained in the diner.
Earlier this 12 months, Tesla built-in the diner into its cellular app – hinting at some interplay via the app – presumably ordering from it.
Electrek’s Take
I believe it seems fairly cool. I’m a fan of the design and idea.
Nonetheless, contemplating the state of the Tesla group, I don’t suppose I’d just like the vibes. That stated, it seems like Tesla isn’t prominently pushing its branding on the diner.
You possibly can come and cost there, but it surely seems like Tesla can be aiming to get a wider clientele only for eating.
