Would you ever eat at a Tesla restaurant? If the answer is yes, know that an American company is building one in Santa Monica, west of downtown Los Angeles, and this restaurant will be equipped with 29 chargers to recharge your electric car.
Elon Musk dreamed of this Tesla restaurant for several years. This will be a Diner, a type of restaurant, originally a group restaurant, typical of North America, particularly the northeastern United States. Features of the Diner are a large selection of mostly American dishes, a calm atmosphere, a counter and extended hours of operation, often 24 hours a day. Simple and efficient, as Elon Musk likes.
Tesla on all fronts
A Tesla-style diner has been a dream of Elon Musk since 2018, but it wasn’t until September 2023 that the first official photos of the project were released. At first it seemed like an idea among many others from the eccentric boss of the American brand, except that it will finally come to life. Let’s just say it’s a little easier to build an American restaurant in the United States than it is to send people to Mars. Send people to Mars? Yes, that’s Elon Musk’s ambition for SpaceX, and he hopes to make it a reality within the next few years.
A drone video posted on 247Tesla’s YouTube channel shows the building in a fairly advanced state, with the circular structure appearing to be nearly complete except for the finishing touches. Therefore, the next step will be to create a real Supercharger hub outside the structure, equipped with 29 charging stations. Tesla Diner will host 50’s stylewith better quality food and drink than a more traditional fast food restaurant.
Grab a quick bite to eat and charge your electric car
The concept should allow you to eat quickly, but probably not as fast as recharging your electric car, as the Tesla takes less than 30 minutes to charge a kilowatt-hour.
At the moment, this restaurant concept is unique in the world, but Elon Musk will undoubtedly have to democratize this type of service if he is to have the expected success. In Europe it would also be interesting, especially since Superchargers are often located, particularly in France, in isolated areas.
Of course, there is often a hotel or small restaurant nearby, but in the case of hotels, catering is not provided around the clock.
