Here to electrify (literally) Hollywood's dining scene, Tesla Diner revives classic 1950s Americana with futuristic twists and mind-blowing tech integration (80 Superchargers + Optimus robots!). Located at 7001 Santa Monica Boulevard in the heart of Hollywood, this 24/7 destination welcomes EV drivers and food lovers alike, continuing Musk's vision of sustainable innovation with comfort food and nostalgic drive-in vibes. Simply put: Tesla Diner balances retro-futuristic design with classic American fare and state-of-the-art technology, making it one of the most Instagrammable spots in LA.
Tesla Diner Architecture
The 250+ seat space is "Grease meets The Jetsons" with two floors of retro-futuristic dining that transforms the former Shakey's location into something from 2050. The rooftop "Skypad" terrace offers drive-in movie viewing under the stars but you can watch from your Tesla car as well. FYI: Don't miss the spacecraft-themed bathrooms.
Tesla Diner Technology
Optimus robots serve popcorn on the outdoor deck while 80 V4 Supercharger stalls with charging speeds of 325 kW for Cybertruck and 250 kW for other Teslas create the world's largest urban charging hub. The stalls are open to ALL NACS-compatible EVs with curbside delivery straight to your driver's side window. Tesla's in-car touchscreen ordering works 24/7, while the Tesla Diner app manages everything from movie schedules to real-time charging availability. Two massive drive-in movie screens complete the tech, proving this isn't just dining but a fully integrated Tesla experience.
Tesla Diner Menu
Chef Eric Greenspan's menu balances American comfort food with Tesla's sustainability mission with "the overwhelming majority of ingredients are responsibly sourced, sustainable local products." The Tesla Burger ($13.50) features 1/3 lb prime Brandt Beef with signature "Electric Sauce," while Supercharged Gummies and Tesla Bot action figures turn merchandise into collectibles. From 24/7 nitro cold brew to reusable Tesla-branded soda bottles, every item reinforces the Tesla brand while delivering quality that keeps lines wrapped around the block.
The Bottom Line
Head over to Tesla Diner for a retro-futuristic dining experience.
