Tesla is nearing completion of its 1950s-themed diner and drive-in movie theater in Los Angeles, a project that integrates a Supercharger station with 30 charging stalls. The two-story establishment features rooftop seating, a bar, and two drive-up movie screens, offering a unique experience for electric vehicle owners. This initiative, first envisioned by CEO Elon Musk in 2018, combines retro aesthetics with modern technology, aiming to enhance the EV charging experience.
Located on Santa Monica Boulevard, the diner is designed to provide a multifaceted environment where patrons can dine, watch movie clips, and charge their vehicles simultaneously. The concept reflects Tesla’s innovative approach to infrastructure, blending entertainment and utility to create a new category of charge-and-dine stations.
Located on Santa Monica Boulevard in Los Angeles County, California, it is expected to feature two floors, rooftop seating, a bar, two drive-up movie screens, and 30 Supercharger stalls. We can only hope we get one here in Australia.
The project is expected to be completed soon, marking a significant milestone in Tesla’s expansion of its charging network.
Curiously, it doesn’t seem that long ago that mainstream media outlets were convincing us that Tesla’s Supercharging network was declining.
