Check Out Tesla’s First-Ever Supercharging Diner in Hollywood
Back in 2018, Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted that he wanted to “put an old school drive-in, roller skates & rock restaurant at one of the new Tesla Supercharger locations in Los Angeles.” Pretty much everyone thought it was a joke, but it has now become a reality. With a few differences.
The brand new Tesla Diner opened this week in California, the company’s largest market in the U.S., offering a unique experience for customers waiting while their vehicles are being charged. Curious to see what it's like? Browse the photo gallery above to see the facilities and services.

Located at 7001 Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood, the Tesla Diner is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Its architecture and design have retro-futuristic influences.
The Tesla Diner features 80 Supercharger stalls (V4), making it the largest urban Supercharging station in the world.
The stalls are compatible with non-Tesla vehicles that have an NACS port or adapter.
While charging, customers can watch movies and special features on one of two giant 20-meter outdoor LED screens. They can check their Tesla vehicle’s touchscreen to find out what’s playing next.
The two-story restaurant's upper level is called Skypad and allows customers to enjoy views of the city or the megascreens.
The menu is inspired by American classics. We're talking about fast food, obviously, since charging sessions are generally over in less than 30 minutes.
Customers can place an order in advance or when they arrive through their vehicle’s touchscreen, then have their meal dropped off at their window.
Here's another view from the Skypad.
Inside, the main level offers classic diner booths.
For kids, meals can be served in a Tesla Cybertruck-shaped cardboard box. Because why not?
A Tesla Optimus robot is on display right next to the door leading to the Skypad.
In the equally futuristic restrooms, it can feel like traveling in space.
