Explore Tesla’s first-ever diner in this walk-through video

Tesla has just thrown open the doors of its brand new diner in Hollywood, California, a spot that Tesla chief Elon Musk promised will be “an island of good food, good vibes and entertainment, all while Supercharging.”
As the restaurant and Supercharger facility welcomed its very first guests on Monday night, Tesla shared a video tour of the plush new diner, which it describes as “retro-futuristic.” You can watch it below.
The walk-through takes you around the stylish dining area and up to the rooftop where visitors can relax with a drink and even watch a film on one of the two large movie screens down in the charging area, which offers 80 V4 Supercharger stalls.
You’ll also glimpse a Tesla bot — also known as Optimus — Tesla’s humanoid robot. However, rather than working at the bar or serving drinks, it’s been securely placed inside a display cabinet (though it was seen serving popcorn at a pre-launch event).
Before the opening, Musk shared a drone shot of the diner. In an accompanying comment, he said that if this first Tesla Diner proves popular, the company will open more of them “in major cities around the world as well as at Supercharger sites on long distance routes.”
Opening such a diner has been a long-held dream of Musk’s. Five years ago, he posted on Twitter that he was “gonna put an old school drive-in, roller skates & rock restaurant at one of the new Tesla Supercharger locations in LA.” Well, he’s finally delivered on his promise.
The Tesla Diner opens against a backdrop of mounting sales pressure for the automaker, with Tesla seeing a 13% drop in U.S. deliveries in the first quarter of 2025 and similar challenges in many of its overseas markets. The difficulties are due to a combination of factors, including increased competition in the electric-vehicle market and negative attention from Musk’s controversial political activities.
One diner in Hollywood is unlikely to shift its fortunes, but it should make the charging experience a little more enjoyable.

A flat or low tire always seems to show up at the worst possible time. A compact compressor you can keep in the trunk solves most of that stress in a couple of minutes.

The 2026 Cadillac Lyriq-V is the first all-electric model in the luxury brand’s V-Series performance lineup. The V-Series has been instrumental in helping Cadillac shake off its stodgy image with fast-and-fun cars that go tire-to-tire with their counterparts from BMW M5 and Mercedes-AMG. But, more often than not, Cadillac V-Series models have been powered by loud-and-thirsty V8 engines — the opposite of the silent, zero-emission electric powertrains that are ostensibly Cadillac’s future.
