First Tesla Diner Location Opens in Hollywood with Robot Waiters, Drive-In Cinema, and Meals Served Inside the Cybertruck
Tesla has finally opened the doors to its 1950s-inspired diner. Located in Hollywood on the famous Santa Monica Boulevard, the venue combines a restaurant, a vehicle charging station, and a drive-in cinema all in one space — featuring a retro-futuristic aesthetic and robots from the company serving customers.
The Tesla Diner is described by the company as a “complete charging and dining experience” aimed at drivers and fans of the brand. Open 24 hours a day, the space can accommodate 250 people, offers a classic American menu, and houses the largest urban fast charging station in the world, with 80 spots for Supercharger V4.
Robots, Cinema, and Menu Straight from the Future (with a 1950s Nostalgia)
The space functions as a retro-futuristic restaurant, where Tesla Optimus robots serve popcorn while customers watch movies on two 20-meter LED screens. The menu is divided into six sections — breakfast, burgers, kids’ meals, desserts, sides, and drinks — with prices ranging from US$ 4 to US$ 15.

It seems simple, but it enriches: from R$ 500 to R$ 6,000 per piece and up to 10 days of handcrafted production, how is the couple from Praia Grande making a high income with hyper-realistic miniatures and turning a hobby into a money-making machine?
Highlights include the “Tesla Burger” (US$ 13.50), breakfast tacos (US$ 11), egg sandwich (US$ 12), and desserts such as apple pie with ice cream (US$ 12). For kids, meals are served in packaging shaped like Cybertruck, including mini burgers, chicken strips, and grilled cheese.
Food in the Cabin and Screen in the Car: The Tesla Touch
In addition to dining in the hall, customers can place orders through their vehicle’s touchscreen and receive their meal directly in the cabin. Those who prefer can go up to the “Skypad,” the upper level of the restaurant with views of Los Angeles and the outdoor mega screens.
According to Tesla, the solar canopies reduce 26 million pounds of CO₂ per year on-site, contributing to the sustainability of the complex. The idea, according to Elon Musk, is to transform the Diner into a social space for Tesla users — but also open to vehicles from other brands.
First Days, Controversies, and Future Plans
The opening attracted crowds and went viral on social media. Many users praised the experience. One commented: “This is the coolest place in Los Angeles. It’s definitely going to become a tourist spot.” But not everything received applause.
Residents in the neighborhood complained about the visual pollution caused by the massive LED screens. Others criticized the lack of vegan options on the menu, seen as a flaw in a city like Los Angeles. Tesla has not yet commented on possible adjustments to the menu.
The brand has not confirmed whether it will open new locations, but fans are already calling for expansion to cities like Austin and Miami. For now, the Tesla Diner remains a mix of a 1950s café, technology hub, and futuristic showroom — with burgers, cinema, and charging included.
Would you go to the Tesla Diner? Do you think this idea will spread around the world, or is it just another marketing ploy from Elon Musk? Comment below!
