On 21 July, Tesla launched an all-new diner and electric vehicle charging hub in the heart of Hollywood, creating a unique space where the nostalgia of 1950s Americana meets cutting-edge innovation.
Located on Santa Monica Boulevard, the two-story facility features a vintage-style eatery, a rooftop cinema, and dozens of fast-charging stalls—all operating around the clock.
Largest Urban Supercharger Station
The flagship site is now the biggest urban charging facility in the world, equipped with 80 of Tesla’s latest V4 Superchargers.
It’s designed to accommodate more than just vehicles—over 250 guests can dine across its indoor and outdoor seating areas.
Classic Diner Food With a Twist
The menu, crafted by Los Angeles-based chef Eric Greenspan, serves up quintessential American favorites: burgers, grilled cheese sandwiches, hot dogs, and breakfast tacos.
For younger diners, Tesla adds a playful touch—kids’ meals are served in packaging shaped like miniature Cybertrucks.
Watch Movies From Your Car or the Roof
Two giant 66-foot LED screens show a continuous stream of short films, full-length features, and exclusive Tesla content.
Drivers can stay in their vehicles for the show or head up to the rooftop “Skypad” lounge, designed to recreate the vibe of old-school drive-ins—with a high-tech upgrade.
Robots, Merch, and Touchscreen Ordering
Adding a futuristic flair, Tesla’s humanoid robot “Optimus” made an appearance during the opening weekend, handing out popcorn and greeting guests. Visitors can place food orders either through their vehicle’s touchscreen interface or directly at the counter inside.
A gift shop on-site sells themed merchandise, including Tesla-branded gummy snacks and retro-inspired diner T-shirts.
Charging Becomes a Destination
Rather than just a charging stop, Tesla envisions the diner as a lifestyle space. By integrating fast EV charging with dining and entertainment, the brand aims to transform how people spend time while powering up. If the Hollywood location proves successful, similar spots may soon appear in other major cities.
