Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you're a Tesla fan or just love innovative spots in LA, you're in for a treat. I recently swung by the upcoming Tesla Diner in Hollywood, and even though it's not officially open yet, I got a solid first look at what this place has to offer. Spoiler: It's more than just a diner—it's a full-on EV haven with some seriously cool features. Let's dive in!
First things first, if you've never been to this part of Hollywood or Los Angeles, it's worth mentioning that the area can be a bit sketchy. My advice? Stick to the Tesla Diner and don't wander around nearby. We're talking about half a mile from the main Hollywood action, so it's close enough to the buzz but in a spot that's still developing. The diner was all fenced off during my visit, with security on site—likely due to ongoing construction and the hype surrounding it. It opens tomorrow (Monday in July), so if you're planning a trip, mark your calendars!
As I approached, I even spotted a Waymo autonomous vehicle chilling nearby—talk about a futuristic vibe right off the bat. It politely let me pass, which was a fun little moment.
Right now, the place is off-limits to the public. Only Tesla employees, project workers, and special guests can get inside. I couldn't park or step beyond the fence, but I did manage a quick walk-around to scope things out. Security was tight—they weren't letting anyone get too close, but that's understandable with all the excitement building up.
Inside, I could see folks working away, and there were already a bunch of Teslas parked up. It's clear this spot is gearing up to be a major hub.
What really blew me away were the thoughtful amenities Tesla has packed in here. I didn't realize there was a rooftop bar until I saw it—perfect for chilling with a view of the city. There are also movie screens set up, which could make for some epic drive-in style experiences while you wait for your car to charge.
For pet owners, there's a dedicated pet area—a nice touch for those road-tripping with furry friends. But the star of the show? The superchargers. This location is supposedly cramming in 80 superchargers, which is insane for such a busy, over-capacity area in Hollywood. I tried counting them from afar, and yeah, it's going to be a game-changer. LA's charging spots are always jammed, so this will be a hot spot for Tesla owners needing a quick top-up.
Tesla's definitely committed to keeping things clean and well-maintained here, which is crucial in a high-traffic zone like this.
Hollywood's supercharger scene is notoriously packed, so adding 80 stalls at the Tesla Diner is a massive win. It's not just about charging—it's about creating a destination where you can eat, relax, and even catch a movie while your car juices up. I can't wait for it to open tomorrow; this could redefine pit stops for electric vehicle owners in LA.
If you're in the area, definitely check it out—but remember, safety first and stick to the diner. Have you visited any Tesla spots like this? Drop your thoughts in the comments below, and don't forget to like and subscribe for more EV adventures!
