The very first Tesla diner is here

Looks incredible. Can’t wait to see what else they do with this concept

They need one in the desert with lots of charging stalls and good food. Would be so cool. In the middle of Hollywood? Eww

Where is this

When does it open?

The new Tesla Diner is located at 7001 W Santa Monica Boulevard, Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA 90028

Apparently in 3 to 4 weeks, it will be open for public.

Sweet. I will be in LA at the end of this month.

Ooooh I can goooooo yesss lol

Is this tied into a supercharger station or is this standalone?

I can’t wait to see the menu.

Do they serve cyberdish?

It’s open now?

it's tied into 2 supercharger stations. I think there is around 60 or 80 stalls across 2 parking lots The diner lot is uncovered and the other lot has solar canopy

Not yet, will be open to public in 3 to 4 weeks apparently. There’s no confirmation on it yet. They are doing some video and photo work today.

Menu looks great but most items on it will only be available next year. Servers are robots with a 'handler' that takes ages to get to your table. , tables have auto wipers for spills that constantly go unexpectedly and swipe everything off the table. You have to put a deposit down before you get seated.

Fully run by Tesla Robots

🤣🤣

There is a small Tesla supercharger in the parking lot of a Sonic. So I have "Tesla diner at home" heh.

Everything is $4.20

Yeah, why would you put a business around people when you can put it where nobody will go instead?

Definitely interesting to see how this goes. Thanks!

It’s going to be so crowded

I can’t wait to see what the heck movies they play???

It’s interesting but I refuse to give him another nickel of if can avoid it

Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.

With protestors? Lolz

good to know. i will also be there now to try and find you and stalk you.

[removed]

Next year…

it's also in kind of a weird spot in Hollywood like off the beaten track

it is only for me or you guys also see 60’s futuristic diner?

Looks incredible. I wish we could have more cool buildings like that.

Need to dim that lighting inside. Looks like a polestar logo on last image too

Same

Dang, such design is a breath of fresh air in the world where almost every modern building looks identical and boring. This design brings back the mid century architecture designs, which incorporate elements of fun. Excellent choice of fonts, colors, and designs. Kudos to the designer.

You sonofabitch—I’m in.

3 months maybe, 6 months definitely

[removed]

This is 3-4 weeks in Tesla time? So sometime in 2026?

Sounds perfect

Why not?

Perfect, opening after musk has ruined the taste of Tesla in the public's mouth. Excellent execution.

The 80’s want their vision of the future back… It does fit in Hollywood though with the Back to the Future aesthetic.

One of the biggest, fastest chargers in my area is at a Sonic. 12 stalls, never more than a few vehicles charging.

Need to check this out.

The one in the desert gives off nostalgic, route 66 road trip vibes. But yeah, superchargers in the desert people want to charge and gtfo, going to a diner when you are on a time schedule (need to move vehicle once charging ID done) just seems stressful.

God damn that looks cool. Exactly how I imagine America from all the 50's diner movies.

Where is this opening, and is this the only one so far?

Nighthawks of 2050.

Probably be gaps in the food

It'll open in 2021

Looks cool but where is it? I dont see anyone saying it

*takes a deep breath and admires the atmosphere* feels like home

In the midwest the Tesla "diner" is grabbing a sandwich in the deli section in Mejier's before your charging session ends.

Menu and price?

Can we get one in Austin pleaaaaaase

It's in Hollywood on Santa Monica where the old Shakey's pizza used to be. [https://maps.app.goo.gl/3uPoqeYNxLvjAUkx6](https://maps.app.goo.gl/3uPoqeYNxLvjAUkx6)

Elon said June for Robotaxi 6 months ago and they started in June. Long term time tables are way off, short term time tables are pretty accurate.

If you are doing a long trip through the desert, charging takes like 50 minutes anyways. Order food, use the restroom, eat, leave.

How many superchargers will there be?

Tf you mean “Why not?” Unless you’re not American, in which case I sort of maybe understand why you don’t know.

Where is this

[removed]

Is robotaxi actually open to the general public yet though

Looks awesome but reminds me a lot of that postapocalypse fallout vibes 😂

And while everything works most of the time, every now and then your fork will suddenly veer wildly to the side and embed itself in your seat cushion when you try to take a bite. But that happens only rarely.

Only the outside though, the inside is still pretty corporate minimalist blank

I’ve long had this idea of a retro futuristic ev drive in diner where the food comes to your car. Looks like this is about half way there.

Do they bring to food to the car or is Tesla simply next to sonic?

They were going for that 50’s style diner I believe, so kinda nailed it huh?

I hate to be a downer BUT LA can’t have nice things. Im sorry but this place will be trashed graffitied gutted neglected and forgotten in months/years. Its sad but it will happen

I keep an electric kickscooter in the trunk specifically so i can go get some better food before the thing finishes.

[removed]

Do the robots cook the food?

I'd want to go to this if Elon wasn't a maniac

How does a restaurant align with any Tesla business objectives or core skills?

It’s nice but it takes forever for them to charge you the bill.

Often times it’s so dangerous tho going through these shopping centers without a car. I gotta be honest charging and seeing a restaurant not even a 5 min walk but still not being able to make it really opened my eyes to how fucked we are

Oh no you walk like 10 feet to the outdoor seating. 😂

Paying idle fees

If you have a problem with your order just go ahead and make an appointment in the app and someone will be right over at your table in just a few weeks.

Well giant separated circle booths are not an efficient use of space.

Elon also said unsupervised FSD this year late last year with a service where we can use our cars as taxis for money. We’ll see lol

You can check in but you can never leave.

> Long term time tables are way off, short term time tables are pretty accurate. “[3 months maybe, 6 months definitely](https://imgur.com/gallery/elon-musk-3-months-maybe-6-months-definitely-S58bg )” is long term now?

Roles out with unsupervised FSD, so around 2018.

that is the point

Just dont take your hands off your fork for too long

I think that's what differentiates the mid century design than the rest because it isn't always about functionality or practicality, but more so as an experience and pleasing to the eyes. I've gotta say, this design is well balanced inside and out based on the pictures.

I’d hardly call supervised drives in a single section of a single city a launch, but okay.

For real...I'm so fucking tired of every building looking exactly the same. Is that a Starbucks or a McDonald's? Oh whoops, it's a Wendy's. I can absolutely get behind more creative and fun styles like this...

Or maybe not everyone has been brainwashed ☺️

CNN told him Elon bad bad man.

My favorite Tesla supercharger when I’m out and about is in Beaumont, California. It’s literally in an In N Out parking lot. My closest is in a Von’s store so I feel your pain about the “diner” being a deli or a Starbucks in a grocery store

Really? Can you give some examples? I go to restaurants and bars in LA all the time. Many have been in business for many decades. There are always new places opening as well.

Is this true?

NOW THIS IS WHAT I CALL COOL MODERN DESIGN

Tesla has no direction apparently

Why ?

I’ve soured on Tesla lately- but this is cool.

Looks awesome. Was hoping it would not be another jimmy buffet vibe.

Ew that lighting is worse than a waffle house

Ultra Geil wann in Deutschland?

Quite the irony when compared to their vehicles.

Wow looks cool!

Meijer ❤️

Don't forget to get the empty promise pre-order for the appointment! Uh-oh wrong sub!

This looks amazing.

It made more sense when Tesla was an aspirational brand that people wanted to identify with and commune with other fans. Now it’s just more surface area for vandalism and controversy. I give it 18 months. And only that long because closing it earlier would be more embarrassing than keeping it open at a loss.

...28...30...

The auto wipers had me rolling LMAO.

Elon said June for Robotaxi while unveiling a car called Robotaxi. Now they're driving Model Ys around, I don't think it counts if you move the goal post by that much

Same time as the cars turn into a fleet of self controlled robo taxis. Any day now

Orchard Street charger in Boise?

Served by Optimus Robot!

That would actually be a damn good idea for a Sonic

Looks futuristic and dystopian. Like it!

Robots are going to take over restaurants, diners, and cafés, BUT you cannot replace humans altogether. We like the human touch.

Where is it?

Hasn't mid century made a comeback since like 2016 tho...

IONNA did it first.

Space balls for sure

That looks cool af

Can the chargers here be set to charge slower so I can enjoy my food? :)

I think the ruse that’s been pulled over everyone’s eyes is that middle class American is everyday life. The white picket fence with a car in the driveway was not the life of a laborer working in the factories in the 1940s-50s

I get vibes of a Sci-Fi take on that famous diner painting, "Nighthawks" by Edward Hopper

Why is there a ginormous broadcasting cam in the middle of it

Tf they serve, nuts and bolt?

🤣🤣🤣 Dead! Menu items “ coming Q2’26 “

It gives off retro '70s vibes... me gusta. :-)

Hollywood, CA.

Hate Tesla but I love this concept. We need more of this

A f-ing what now?

I didn’t count, but there are a lot. 40 - 50 maybe ? I might be wrong.

Hollywood, CA

They opened it to do some video and photo work. It’s not yet open for public.

Keen eyes, I can see that, especially that curve side of the long glass.

Home decors maybe, but not major architectural designs as they are less cost effective to most businesses. Most businesses may prefer plain and simple buildings with minimal modifications when they take over.

Does Optimus serve you?

I've been watching this go up. Looks cool except the strip of white light panels looks cheap and poorly executed. Maybe they just need to be cleaned/adjusted. This part of LA is in desperate need of superchargers so it'll be good to have some more around.

Or $69.00

Cathy Wood already evaluated the new segment with 2bn :)

how long until It gets graffitied and or vandalized?

Location?

That street is about to get so much worse with traffic now

r/cassettefuturism people are gonna love it

The Logo is so TRON like, reminds me of Flynn’s Arcade aesthetics.

Ah fair enough

I genuinely can’t tell if this is real or not

Cannot replace the humans 🤷‍♂️

Trust me bro, it’s real 😁

7001 Santa Monica blvd, Hollywood, CA

Sad most people do not get this comment

So true! I do the not so fresh sushi.

Star Wars, Space Balls and Bladerunner only.

Gets burned rubber and anthrax on a plate: I STILL LOVE MY DINNER!!!

“But, I ordered cheese”

This is a great idea! Thanks for mentioning!

Looks like they’re shooting promos first.

This place will be filled with only the coolest people you’ve ever seen😎

Amazing. Now fix the fucking auto wipers!!!

What ? Lol. Why would you not be able to get there ? I’ll walk up to ten mins away if I have a long charge ahead of me.

on Mars

I'm going to hold my excitement for if they actually expand this concept. They couldn't even get the tesla lounge off the ground beyond the single location

There is no way I would go there. Too easy of a target for anti Elon

You can say that about any charging location

YOU find this refreshing!? It looks instantly dated and 1950s old ass shit.

That's pretty small!

The satellite view looks way too small for that many. Looks like it could support maybe 20 MAX, I'm hoping I'm wrong.

This is what I wanted the future to look like.

I can’t imagine supporting anything Elon Musk is attached to.

They really missed a great design irony statement if they didn’t modify the dumpsters to look like Cybertrucks.

Yes, and they also spit in it.

QUANAH TX!!!

🤣

What's with the camera and the slider?

Entrance door better have uneven panel gaps or else just shut it down.

Wouldnt wanna see that power bill

This is a great idea. Now I have something to specifically look for at garage sales

Wish this architecture made a comeback, looks amazing

Red Rocket Truck Stop vibes....

Optimus bot is absolutely going to be here doing stuff, even if remotely controlled.

Sonic is so hit or miss for service. My local Sonic sometimes has their car park area coned off and sometimes the drive thru. Went there today and preordered through the app. Saw drive thru open only with multiple cars so I parked and walked inside and waited like 15 min for my two item order. One was a slush which was completely melted at that point. I just put it in the freezer and didn’t even have any of it in the car.

Nah, walk over to Raising Caine's...

I drive by this on my way to work. It’s been under construction for about 3 years!

Ewwww.

Considering this is in LA, they are definitely paying homage to classic drive in diners and googie architecture

Yup 🤦🏻‍♂️

I go camping/apple picking once a year there and I think I stop at the same one before heading up the hill.

Okaaaaay

Every building looks like a doctor’s office.

When they started pitching this idea full feature FSD was due at the end of the year

And keep your eyes always on the food! One look away at your phone and the table will beep “Pay Attention”!

It’s pretty sweet. I commute to see clients in the desert and San Diego. Sometimes the drive through Beaumont is necessary for the charge and the burgers lol.

Not a fan. Sorry. I’ll take any bone in chicken place over glorified McNuggets. To each their own.

Cool about the food, but are the chargers near the diner or that small lot adjacent open yet? There’s no good Supercharger options in the area - it’s either the overcrowded charger on Sunset or driving all the way down to Culver City.

Once in a while they serve you food that hasn’t expired.

Do you need to own a Tesla to go?

Robots might take over places like McDonalds, but not actual restaurants

And only for selected sycophants

Until they do.

'but if you had your hands on the fork for the entire meal that would've never happened'

If there is a problem with how the food is cooked, you'll be held accountable. Technically you are still the one cooking.

Humans throw their forks all the times. By comparison this system is much safer.

I love how you spelled Meijer the way that people pronounce it.

Incredible? Looks like it seats basically as much as Waffle House while taking up twice the space. At least the lightsaber fights in here will be cool

For a moment, I thought they redid Flo's Diner in DCA

because there are no crosswalks and the roads are extremely busy. Sometimes even if there is a crosswalk, the light never changes!! Even if you press the button!!!! grrr It's not a matter of being able to walk there, it's a matter of being able to do it safely. This is a uniquely american problem, and honestly i would love for small towns along highways to put dcfc in their parking lots so i can atleast walk around yknow

No problem. We can meet at the Boba Tea place and discuss... It's a nice supercharger, with half a dozen restaurants within walking distance. (But none quite so close as the In N Out...)

I guess call me Frogger cause I don’t even consider looking for a cross walk lol. I’m crossing, waiting in the landscaped median then crossing the next 2-4 lane road lol

It’s a major chain. 😄

Sounds good! See you there. We can do some shopping at 5 Below too!

Swasticar going in the dump so they starting a restaurant chain?

in LA? not a chance.

Just drove by it. Looks to be some kinda testing event. It's as if they were filming a commercial, the people there looked like they belonged on camera, groups of trendy looking friends smiling while they walk through the parking lot and such, but there were no cameras.

Aside from the Cybertruck, I think most of Tesla's vehicles look pretty unique. They have a nice combination of curves and angles in their designs to set them apart from most other cars without being too flashy. I know not everyone likes the "egg-shaped" look they have, but personally, I think it's a breath of fresh air, especially in a world full of rectangular trucks and SUVs.

Examples, what am i the la times? Its my opinion. I live here i have eyes. Take a drive around hollywood, see for ur self. Whatev.

Ya they did, indeed. Would love to see one of those over here though

This brand loyalty is absurd.

is it only white people allowed?

I might have missed it, but where is this?

Why does the interior look like a club or a lab? Looks cool from the outside, but the inside isn’t particularly inviting.

7001 Santa Monica Blvd, Hollywood, CA

Q5

You must be an insider, I heard this is when all the secret projects are stated for release

I’ll have a Pepsi free

Once you finish your food you start incurring idling charges…

I will be in L.A next weekend! I wish I could check it out…. May just ride pass

First 1938 customers get free small mustaches.

Where will it be located?

dont agree - this stands out and being the first makes it particularly high risk

It looks so 50s, it must have segregated seating...

I’ll be curious how much the superchargers cost. If it’s anything like the lot in West Hollywood I won’t be stopping by anytime soon

It’s at the old site of the Shakeys on Sta Mónica. Miss that Shakeys!

I’m late to the party, but damn that’s a good idea. I hate the long parking lot walks to get something decent to eat.  Even worse when you have to run back to the car to disconnect and move it in the middle of eating.

Do we get to hang out with Biff and play with hovering skate boards while we wait for our food?

That's true.

Yes, fast food restaurants are easier since people don't expect to be served.

Regardless of your views on elon, elons designers ate here.

How will people have time to dine if charging finishes in 30 min?

Why not build two stories of chargers to decrease demand in LA instead of wasting space on a dumb diner?

Looks incredible! What kind of food do they have there? Seems like a fun place to charge up!

Better then Sonic?

Interesting Tesla harp on about how environmentally savvy they are - yet the menu is nothing but beef (extremely environmentally taxing with CO2 emissions, water usage, sewerage run off and deforestation) and very little in-terms of plant based options.

To waste money

Cause all the rich people are full of bs

Does the food cook by setting itself on fire? 😆

I wanna go!

I heard Optimus is no longer working there. How come?

Laid off
