Tesla has transformed electric vehicle charging with the grand opening of its first-of-its-kind Supercharger Diner and Drive-In Theater at 7001 W. Santa Monica Boulevard in Hollywood, California. The venue combines an 80-stall V4 Supercharger station, a 24/7 diner, and a drive-in movie theater, creating a unique destination for EV drivers and the public. Think 1950s nostalgia meets the future.
The site features the world’s largest urban Supercharger, with 80 V4 stalls open to all NACS-compatible electric vehicles, not just Teslas. Two 45-foot LED screens broadcast movie clips and Tesla-themed content, like SpaceX launch highlights, synced to vehicle speakers for a noise-free experience from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM. Viewing options include the parking lot or the diner’s rooftop seating. The two-story diner serves classic American dishes, burgers with “Electric Sauce,” all-beef hot dogs, roasted turkey sandwiches, fries, shakes, and cookies, with Tesla owners able to order via their car’s touchscreen for carhop delivery. The diner seats 70 indoors and 113 outdoors, with a 77-seat rooftop theater area offering views of the Hollywood sign.
Opening day saw fans lining up for 13 hours (!) with Tesla’s Optimus robot serving popcorn and showcasing future automation potential. The menu highlights locally sourced ingredients, including a 1/3 lb. Brandt Beef burger, Snap-o-Razzo hot dogs, and roasted turkey sandwiches on Tartine buttermilk bread. Tesla merchandise, like Optimus Diner figures, is also available.
