Launched by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, the new 24-hour Tesla Diner, featuring over 250 seats along with a charging station and cinema screens, has opened its doors on Santa Monica Boulevard in Los Angeles (West Hollywood).
The company describes it as a “retro-futuristic diner with electric vehicle charging capabilities.” This establishment, which blends modern technology with retro design, spans two floors. Visitors looking to linger can catch a film on one of the two LED mega screens.
“Tesla Diner, located in Hollywood, California, serves as a Supercharger station, a classic American diner, and a haven for drivers,” Tesla explained.
The site boasts the largest urban Tesla Supercharger station in the world, according to the Daily Mail.
The main service area is on the lower level, while the upper level, dubbed Skypad, offers stunning views of Los Angeles and a movie-watching experience. By the way, guests at Tesla Diner are served popcorn by the humanoid robot Optimus.
Potential visitors can “place their order in advance or upon arrival via the car’s touchscreen, or dine inside.”
What’s on the Menu?
Musk has been dreaming of this retro diner concept since 2018. The menu features six sections: breakfast, burgers and sandwiches, kids’ meals, sides, desserts, and beverages.
Kids can choose from options like a grilled cheese sandwich ($9), a kids’ burger ($13), or a chicken tender combo ($13), all served in a charming CyberTruck box.
Main dishes at Tesla Diner include:
- Egg Sandwich: $12
- Breakfast Tacos: $11
- Tesla Burger: $13.50
- Hot Dog: $13
- French Fries: $4
- Salad: $10
- Slice of Apple Pie: $12
- Chocolate Chip Cookie: $5
- Soda: $4
Before heading home, visitors can stop by the souvenir shop to pick up exclusive merchandise. Among the items are a Tesla Bot figurine, a Hollywood Retro Diner t-shirt, Tesla gummies, and a signature trucker hat.
Although the diner just opened a few days ago, it has already caught the attention of social media users, many of whom are eager to visit.
However, not everyone is thrilled about Musk’s idea. “I feel sorry for those living in the neighboring building… Now all they can do is open their window and face the back of the giant screen that’s been set up right in front of them,” one user commented.
Meanwhile, another user complained about the lack of vegan options on the menu: “I came with my family. The absence of plant-based options in a city like Los Angeles is just madness. Even the avocado toast has eggs, and the fries are cooked in beef fat. Unfortunately, we had to pass.”
