Tesla Opens Retro Drive-In Diner in Hollywood with Movies, Food, and Charging

It’s a mix of old-school vibes and futuristic technology — just like Elon Musk promised years ago. And yes, the waitresses are on roller skates!

What is the Tesla Drive-In?

Tesla’s new Drive-In Diner is located on Santa Monica Boulevard in Hollywood. It’s not just a charging station — it’s an experience. Here’s what you’ll find:

• 30 Supercharger V4 stations (very fast charging)
• Two giant LED movie screens
• A 1950s-style diner with burgers, shakes, and fries
• Roller-skating staff and neon lights
• Outdoor seating and a cool atmosphere

Charge Your Car and Watch a Movie

The parking spots face the movie screens, and each one has a Supercharger plug. You park, plug in your Tesla, and enjoy a movie while your car charges.

You can also order food directly from your car using the Tesla app. A server on skates will bring it right to your window. It’s like a drive-in from the 50s — but made for the future.

What Movies Are Playing?

Tesla is starting with movie classics like:

• Back to the Future
• Dirty Dancing
• The Fifth Element
• The Big Lebowski

Every week, the lineup changes. Elon Musk even said they might show SpaceX launches or Tesla-themed videos in the future.

What’s on the Menu?

The diner offers fun, tasty options — some retro, some modern.

Here are a few examples:

• Elon’s Burger – plant-based patty, vegan cheese, special “Mars Sauce”
• Cyber Dog – hot dog with spicy kimchi
• Falcon Fries – truffle oil French fries
• Space Shake – oat milk strawberry or vanilla shake with foam

Prices: around $12 for a burger, $8 for a shake. You can order from your car or sit outside.

The Atmosphere

As the sun sets, neon signs light up, music starts playing, and the place transforms into a retro-futuristic show. The waitstaff glides between cars on skates. There are also selfie zones and comic-book stands.

It’s like stepping into an old movie — with a modern twist.

High-Tech Features

Charging your car is faster than ever here. The V4 Superchargers can charge most Teslas up to 80% in just 15 minutes.

Also, you can reserve a spot through the Tesla app — no more waiting in line. Just choose your movie time and book your charger and parking space.

Tesla is even adding NFT rewards for frequent visitors. Each visit gives you virtual stickers and discounts.

The Grand Opening

On July 21, Tesla hosted a big launch party. Elon Musk appeared in a retro 80s outfit, there were food trucks, music, and the first screening of a Tesla-themed short film. Hundreds of people attended, including influencers and celebrities.

Coming Soon to More Cities

Tesla says this is just the beginning. Similar Drive-In Diners are planned for:

• Miami
• Austin
• Tokyo
• Dubai

Each location will have its own special design and menu.

Why This Is Smart

Tesla is doing more than just building cars. It’s creating a new lifestyle. Charging a car used to be boring — now, it’s fun, tasty, and even cinematic.

It’s perfect for a night out, a date, or just a cool place to relax while your car powers up.
