Tesla’s Retro-Futuristic Diner Opens in LA With Robots, Burgers, and Hollywood Buzz
So, imagine this — you’re driving down Santa Monica Boulevard in Hollywood, the sun is blazing, Cybertrucks are lined up on the street, and there’s a buzz in the air unlike anything else. Why? Because Elon Musk’s long-anticipated Tesla Diner & Drive-In just opened — and it’s everything fans hoped it would be.
Tesla superfans were already camping outside early Monday morning, waiting anxiously to be the first inside this sci-fi-meets-1950s fantasy spot. With no official opening time announced, people waited for hours, chatting, taking selfies, and swapping Tesla stories. Then, at exactly 4:20 p.m. — in classic Musk fashion — the gates finally opened.

The diner is built on the site of an old Shakey’s Pizza, but what now stands there is pure spectacle. Think retro diner aesthetics fused with the sleekness of Tesla tech. There’s a full-blown drive-in movie theater playing The Jetsons — a fitting tribute to the futuristic vibe — and inside, you’ll find servers on roller skates gliding around with trays of food and ice cream samples. But the star of the show? Tesla’s humanoid robot, Optimus, who was spotted serving popcorn on the rooftop deck like a mechanical maître d’.
The menu? Pure comfort food with a Tesla twist. Chicken and waffles, grilled cheese, a “Tesla Burger” with “Electric Sauce” — all served in Cybertruck-inspired containers. Prices are pretty down-to-earth too, ranging from $4 fries to $15 for biscuits and red gravy. You can even order directly from your Tesla’s screen and hear the movie through your in-car speakers.
People traveled from all over just to experience this. One family drove 80 miles in their Cybertruck. Another Tesla enthusiast arrived at 8 a.m., battery almost drained, just to be first to charge at the brand-new Superchargers — though they weren’t accessible for much of the day. Social media influencers, YouTubers, and Tesla Owners Silicon Valley folks mingled like it was a convention. Even random strangers bonded in line, asking what model each other drives.
Despite some confusion early on, the atmosphere was full of good vibes — ice cream carts showed up, people passed around donuts, and anticipation only grew stronger. The bathroom, by the way, is apparently space-themed, and yes, someone said they specifically came to try that .
Elon Musk himself posted about the opening, calling it one of the coolest spots in LA. And it’s not just a one-off — if this concept thrives, Musk says we’ll see similar diners pop up in cities around the world and at Supercharger sites across long-distance routes.
Whether you’re here for the tech, the nostalgia, or just the waffles, one thing’s clear: Tesla’s diner is more than a pit stop — it’s a cultural moment. A bold, bizarre, and thoroughly Musk-style celebration of innovation, fandom, and fun.
