Tesla Diner in Hollywood Offers Enormous Cybertruck Fries and Vehicle Charging Service
In the heart of Hollywood, Tesla has unveiled a new venue that is set to revolutionise the dining and entertainment landscape. The Tesla Diner & Drive-In Theater, located at 7001 West Santa Monica Boulevard and Orange Drive in LA's Media District, officially opened its doors on July 21, 2025 [1][2].
The two-story, 9,300-square-foot facility offers a unique combination of a classic American diner, a Supercharger station, and a drive-in movie theater, all under one roof. The diner, curated by celebrity chef Eric Greenspan, serves comfort classics with modern twists and all-day breakfast options [1][2].
The Supercharging station boasts either 32 or 80 v4 Supercharger stalls, depending on the source, allowing Tesla drivers to charge their vehicles while enjoying food or entertainment [1][2]. The drive-in theater features two giant 45-foot LED screens, visible from the parking lot. The theater audio syncs directly to sound systems inside Tesla vehicles, providing a retro drive-in movie experience integrated with Tesla technology [1][2].
While the exact daily operating hours for dining, Supercharger use, and theater screenings are not explicitly listed, the venue officially opened at 4:20 p.m. and remains open to the public [1][2]. The diner offers a retro diner menu, with service style including "Sonic-style carhop service," allowing customers to order from their cars [1][2].
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, has hinted at plans to establish similar diners in major cities around the world and at Supercharger sites on long-distance routes, suggesting this Hollywood location is a pilot or flagship facility [1][2].
Since the sources do not provide a detailed daily or weekly schedule with specific hours for dining, charging, or movie screenings, it is advisable to check Tesla’s official site or contact the venue directly for precise operating times. However, the opening time was confirmed around late afternoon (4:20 p.m.), and the facility is designed to serve customers through evening hours for dining and movie screenings.
The Tesla Diner has quickly become a roadside attraction and social media hot spot, with its retro neon lighting and Tesla branding illuminating the night [1][2]. The 45-foot LED screens serve as digital marquees, offering Tesla owners content to watch while charging. Food can be ordered via the Tesla app for delivery while watching retro cartoons, music videos, or SpaceX launch footage on the outdoor screens.
While the drive-in theater experience is accessible only to Tesla owners, the diner and outdoor seating are open to non-Tesla guests as well [2]. The Tesla Diner is priced similarly to other burger joints in the area, making it an accessible option for all.
With its combination of good food, good vibes, and entertainment while charging electric vehicles, the Tesla Diner & Drive-In Theater is set to redefine the road trip experience for Tesla owners and visitors alike.
