Tesla has officially opened its first retro-futuristic diner in Los Angeles, blending 1950s Americana aesthetics with cutting-edge EV technology. The diner, which features Tesla’s signature Superchargers alongside a classic drive-in setup, allows customers to charge their vehicles while enjoying burgers, milkshakes, and other diner staples. CEO Elon Musk hinted at further locations during the grand opening, suggesting a broader rollout if the concept proves successful.
According to TechCrunch, the diner includes a rooftop movie screen and solar panels to align with Tesla’s sustainability goals. Meanwhile, Electrek reports that the company may integrate AI-powered ordering kiosks in future locations, streamlining service. The venture marks Tesla’s latest push beyond automotive manufacturing, following earlier expansions into energy storage and solar technology.
Industry analysts speculate that the diner could serve as a branding tool, reinforcing Tesla’s image as an innovator while creating new revenue streams. With Musk’s track record of ambitious projects, the diner’s success—or failure—could influence Tesla’s next unconventional move.
