Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you're as obsessed with all things Tesla as I am, you're going to love this update. The long-awaited Tesla Diner has finally opened its doors, and it's everything we've been dreaming about—and more. People have already started flocking there, and we've got some fresh insights into what makes this spot a game-changer for Tesla owners and EV enthusiasts alike. Let's dive in!
The excitement kicked off with none other than Tesla's Chief Designer, Franz von Holzhausen, welcoming the first visitors. From what I've heard, he stuck around to chat, take photos, and even interact with the community. Franz is genuinely a cool guy—remember when he signed one of our Cybertruck panels? He's always keen on seeing how the community customizes Tesla vehicles, which makes sense given his design expertise.
Tesla has dropped some stunning new videos showcasing the diner at nighttime. The place looks absolutely mesmerizing with its futuristic glow—think neon lights and a vibe straight out of a sci-fi movie. And get this: it's a 24/7 operation! As a Tesla owner, you'll get a special code through the Tesla app to access it anytime, even after hours. That's next-level convenience.
Sure, the menu is impressive (more on that in a sec), and there's even buzz about an Optimus robot and some wild bathroom designs. But the real jaw-dropper? 80 Supercharger stalls right in the heart of Hollywood! That's a massive number for such a prime location. No more fighting for a spot while you grab a bite.
On top of that, the rooftop lounge is a highlight. Imagine chilling up there with popcorn, milkshakes, burgers, or whatever tickles your fancy—maybe even catching a movie. And for now, on day one, there are no idle fees, so you can hang out as long as you want while your Tesla charges. (Though that might change soon.) Zach also spotted free air stations for topping off your tires—perfect for road trippers.
Tesla didn't hold back on the food front. They've rolled out a full menu that's way more than just burgers. Here's a quick rundown:
It looks like they consulted a top chef to curate this— we even spotted one during our visit. Whether you're craving comfort food or something lighter, there's an option for you. I can't wait to try it myself!
Of course, Tesla being Tesla, there's exclusive merch to snag. Think black Optimus robot figurines, gummies in a charger-shaped container, Tesla Diner shirts featuring the Cybertruck, and branded hats. Let me know in the comments if I should grab some for our next giveaway—I'm on it!
This Hollywood spot is Tesla's pilot location, a test run to see how it performs. If it succeeds (and why wouldn't it?), Elon Musk has hinted at expanding to major cities worldwide. Imagine supercharger hubs where you can charge, dine, and relax—all in one futuristic package.
Speaking of enhancing your Tesla experience, if you're a new owner, you might be surprised to learn that your ride comes with zero accessories—not even a phone mount! But don't worry, I've got you covered with my top picks from our partner, Joah.
