Tesla Opens First Supercharger Diner in Los Angeles, with 80 Charging Stalls

Tesla open its first diner/Supercharger station Monday in Los Angeles, reports CNBC — an always-open two-story restaurant serving 'classic American comfort food' next to 80-charging stalls surrounded by two 66-foot megascreens 'playing a rotation of short films, feature-length movies and Tesla videos.'

Tesla described the restaurant's theme as 'retro-futuristic'. (Tesla's humanoid robot Optimus was outside filling bags of popcorn.) There's souvenier cups, the diner's food comes in Cybertruck-shaped boxes, and the owner of a Tesla Model Y told CNBC 'It feels kind of like Disneyland, but for adults — or Tesla owners.' (And yes, one of the choices is a 'Tesla Burger.')

'Less than 24 hours after opening, the line at the Tesla Diner stretched down the block,' notes CNBC's video report. (One customer told CNBC they'd waited for 90 minutes to get their order — but 'If you're a Tesla owner, and you order from your car ahead of time, you don't have to wait in line.')

The report adds that Elon Musk 'says if the diner goes well, he's looking to put them in major cities around the world.'
