- The newest launch from Elon Musk's electric vehicle maker is a diner.
- Tesla just opened a new facility in Hollywood that's part diner, drive-in, and Supercharging station.
- Musk has been teasing a drive-in diner and theater since 2018.
It's part diner, part drive-in, and no dive. (Sorry, Guy Fieri fans.)
We're talking about the latest launch from Tesla, which, as some may be surprised to learn, is … a diner?
Located in Hollywood, California, the Tesla Diner — a classic diner and Supercharging station all in one — opened Monday (at one of Musk's favorite times, no less: 4:20 p.m.)
It's the culmination of an idea Elon Musk talked about as far back as 2018, when he floated the idea of "an old school drive-in, roller skates & rock restaurant."
Gonna put an old school drive-in, roller skates & rock restaurant at one of the new Tesla Supercharger locations in LA
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 7, 2018Take a look inside:
The Tesla Diner is in West Hollywood, California.
It's part diner, drive-in, and charging station.
Tesla says the facility can seat more than 250 people in its two-story restaurant.
It's open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The menu includes classic American diner fare, like a burger and fries, with a twist.
The burger comes in a box modeled after Tesla's Cybertruck.
The diner's website says it has 80 Supercharger stalls.
These are compatible with electric vehicles from Tesla and a handful of other carmakers.
Besides the food and charging access, it's also part drive-in movie theater.
There are two 66-foot LED screens outside where customers can take in a movie.
The facility has been years in the making.
Musk first talked about plans for a diner in 2018.
This is the only Tesla Diner in the world for now — but maybe not for long.
Asked if a similar diner might be opened near SpaceX's Starbase in Texas, Musk said said yes.
