Fresh off the news that a three-row Model Y is on the way, Tesla has built something even more exciting than a new EV.
Now open for business on Santa Monica Boulevard, West Hollywood, the Tesla Diner is serving up 80 V4 Supercharger stalls that are open to all NACS-compatible EVs. With the clear goal to make this one of the best charging experiences in the world, the two-storey classic American-style diner is serving up an all-day, everyday menu that includes a Tesla smash burger, hot dog, diner club, fried chicken and waffles, coffees, and other items in-store or through the drive-thru.
With 80 V4 Supercharger stalls, this is the largest urban Supercharging station in the world. It’s a retro-futuristic diner with solid food options, and it’s even a drive-in cinema with two 66-foot LED megascreens. There’s a dystopian feel to everything, but it’s impressive nonetheless. Let’s take a closer look!
Located on the Route 66 highway, 80 of the latest V4 Supercharger stalls have been installed at the location. That means you can add 40 per cent of battery range to your Tesla in 10 minutes, and because this is open to all NACS-compatible EVs, even those outside the Tesla stable can charge here.
The solar canopies offer shade to the west charging lot, which helps reduce the site’s carbon emissions by about 26.6 million pounds of CO2 per year, according to the Tesla website.
The menu, created by chef Eric Greenspan, includes a Tesla Burger (USD$13.50) served with “smashed crunchy edges made from 1/3lb. prime Brandt Beef with New School American cheese, lettuce, caramelised onions, pickles, and Electric Sauce on a Martin’s Potato Roll.” Alternatively, the Grilled Cheese (USD$9) served on Tartine buttermilk bread and the Pecan Pie (USD$12) served with Valley Ford Creamery a la monde look fantastic, too.
No trip to the Tesla Diner would be complete without a box of popcorn, served by a Tesla Optimus robot.
Plenty of fountain drinks, mocktails, and coffees are available to order, but if you’re running short on time or you would prefer to eat in peace, you can order from the menu on your way to the diner through your Tesla.
Of course, it wouldn’t be LA without a healthy dose of merch, and the Tesla Diner has you covered with a 1:10 Tesla Bot Action Figure that comes with (mini) fries, Hollywood Retro Diner Tee made from 100% cotton, Tesla Sweets (Dog Mode Chill, Mango Bolt and CyberBerry), and Tesla Diner Trucker Hat made with a lightweight stretch weave exterior and adjustable snapback closure on the back.
The opening of the Tesla Diner in West Hollywood ends Elon Musk’s year-long ambition to open a restaurant in Los Angeles.
