Elon Musk’s Tesla Diner in Hollywood is officially here — complete with robot servers, retro diner vibes, 80 Superchargers, massive movie screens, and comfort food like burgers, fries, and milkshakes. Here’s everything inside the Tesla diner in Los Angeles.
Tesla Hollywood Diner Arrives in LA
Elon Musk has officially brought one of his most imaginative ideas to life — a Tesla-themed diner in Los Angeles that blends nostalgia with futuristic tech. Located in the buzzing Santa Monica Boulevard area — right in the heart of LA’s media district — the Tesla Diner is turning heads with its unique blend of retro aesthetics and cutting-edge innovations.
What started as a concept in Musk’s tweets has finally become a physical reality. Construction on the Tesla Diner began in September 2023, and now, less than a year later, it’s up and running, with its location showing up in the Tesla app, signaling that it’s open for visitors.
Tesla enthusiast Sawyer Merritt, known for accurate insider news on the company, confirmed that the grand opening is scheduled for July 21, 2025.
Where Is the Tesla Diner Located?
The new Tesla Diner is situated at a prime location on Santa Monica Boulevard, within the LA media hub — a spot ideal for Hollywood visitors, Tesla owners, and tech enthusiasts. Its strategic position allows Musk’s latest attraction to tap into both foot traffic and the growing number of EV owners in the area.
What’s Inside the Tesla Hollywood Diner?
The Tesla diner is more than just a place to eat — it’s a full experience. Designed to be a throwback to classic American diners with a high-tech twist, the diner features:
- 80 V4 Tesla Superchargers, capable of delivering up to 325 kW per charge
- A drive-in movie theater with two massive 45-foot LED screens
- Robot servers and a retro-futuristic ambiance
- Tesla app integration and in-car ordering system
- A playful food menu served in Cybertruck-themed packaging
- Tesla merchandise, collectibles, and quirky restrooms
The location is meant to be a community space and entertainment hub, where Tesla drivers can charge their vehicles while enjoying a movie and a full meal — all without ever leaving their car.
Charging Gets a Hollywood Upgrade: 80 V4 Superchargers Installed
One of the standout features of the Tesla Hollywood Diner is its state-of-the-art Supercharger station. With 80 V4 chargers, the site is capable of powering a large volume of vehicles with ultra-fast charging, allowing drivers to fill up their EV batteries while enjoying dinner and a film.
Each Supercharger can deliver up to 325 kilowatts, which means that a Tesla can regain hundreds of miles in just minutes — perfect for LA commuters or road-trippers making a pitstop.
Dinner and a Movie — Tesla Style
Elon Musk has taken the classic American pastime of dinner and a movie and elevated it for the EV era. The diner comes equipped with two huge 45-foot LED movie screens, allowing visitors to watch a film while charging their cars or enjoying a meal in the outdoor seating area.
The audio experience is just as impressive. Thanks to Tesla’s smart system, the movie audio plays directly through your Tesla’s speaker system. Once your car connects to the diner’s WiFi, the synced sound automatically kicks in — giving you a private drive-in movie experience without needing any extra equipment.
Food With a Twist: Tesla’s Retro Menu
If you’re a fan of classic diner food, you’re in for a treat. The Tesla Diner menu serves up all-American comfort food with a futuristic flair. According to Merritt, here’s what’s on offer:
🍔 Main Items:
- Classic burgers and cheeseburgers
- Crispy chicken wings
- Hot dogs
- Fresh sandwiches
- French fries and other diner-style sides
🥤 Beverages:
- Handcrafted cane sugar sodas in flavors like:
- Cola

- Cream soda
(Each soda costs $4)
🍨 Milkshakes:
- Classic milkshakes: Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry
- Pie shakes: Add a slice of apple pie or pecan pie blended into your shake
(Milkshake: $8 | Add pie: +$4)
🧊 Packaging:
All burgers and sandwiches are served in Cybertruck-styled cardboard boxes, adding a touch of Musk’s quirky sense of branding to the experience.
Robots Are Part of the Staff
You read that right — the Tesla diner includes robot servers. The most eye-catching among them is the Optimus robot, which has been seen serving popcorn to guests. This isn’t just a gimmick. It’s part of Musk’s broader vision of integrating robotics into everyday life.
While the full extent of robotic automation in the diner is still evolving, early visitors report that robots help deliver food and perform interactive tasks — adding a fun, sci-fi element to the dining experience.
Tesla App Integration and In-Car Ordering
One of the smartest features of the Tesla diner is how seamlessly it integrates with the Tesla app and in-car system. Once your Tesla connects to the location’s WiFi, the Tesla Diner app automatically appears on your screen.
From there, you can:
- Browse the full menu
- Order food directly from your car
- Choose to dine in, pick up, or have it delivered to your vehicle
It’s a contactless, efficient, and futuristic take on fast food — ideal for a generation used to touchscreen convenience.
Tesla Collectibles & Merchandise
The diner isn’t just a food destination — it also doubles as a Tesla mini-merch store. Visitors can buy limited-edition items such as:
- An all-black Tesla Bot action figure, exclusive to the Hollywood location
- Branded t-shirts, hats, mugs, and more
- Possibly future Cybertruck and Optimus-related items
There’s also a quirky restroom area — which, according to Sawyer Merritt, is as stylish and “cool” as the rest of the place. Musk’s flair for design is clearly evident in every corner.
