Tesla’s retro diner and drive-in theater are rising like an EV-powered phoenix in Hollywood. With 32 charging stalls, it’s not just a pit stop but a potential blueprint for a nationwide network of charge-and-dine havens. Elon Musk’s six-year-old tweet is finally coming to life, promising a two-story structure, carhop-style waitstaff, and even a rooftop bar — because who doesn’t want a side of rooftop vibes with their EV charge?

Approved by the L.A. Department of Building and Safety, this diner’s journey from Santa Monica to Hollywood along Route 66 adds a dash of adventure to the mix. Tesla, true to its secretive nature, remains tight-lipped about the project, leaving us to savor the mystery like a slow-cooked meal.

As the Hollywood dream takes shape, complete with movie screens and a touch of Musk’s flair, the EV community eagerly awaits its grand unveiling. In the meantime, we’re left to wonder: What will Tesla name this fusion of nostalgia and cutting-edge tech? Will it spark a chain reaction of charge-and-dine destinations? The buzz is electric, and we can’t wait to see if Tesla’s diner becomes the next iconic pit stop on the road to an electrifying future
