Photos show the Tesla Diner's grand opening in Hollywood, which Elon Musk has been teasing for years
It's part diner, part drive-in, and no dive. (Sorry, Guy Fieri fans.) We're talking about the latest launch from Tesla, which, as some may be surprised to learn, is … a diner? Located in Hollywood, California, the Tesla Diner — a classic diner and Supercharging station all in one — opened Monday (at one of Musk's favorite times, no less: 4:20 p.m.) It's the culmination of an idea Elon Musk talked about as far back as 2018, when he floated the idea of "an old school drive-in, roller skates & rock restaurant." — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 7, 2018 Tesla Diner & Supercharger in Hollywood, LA Open 24/7, starting now — Tesla (@Tesla) July 21, 2025 The Tesla Diner is in West Hollywood, California. It's part diner, drive-in, and charging station. Tesla says the facility can seat more than 250 people in its two-story restaurant. The menu includes classic American diner fare, like a burger and fries, with a twist. The burger comes in a box modeled after Tesla's Cybertruck. The diner's website says it has 80 Supercharger stalls. Besides the food and charging access, it's also part drive-in movie theater. The facility has been years in the making. This is the only Tesla Diner in the world for now — but maybe not for long.
