Tesla has been building an old-school Diner in West Hollywood, California. The Diner is a throwback to the old age of drive-in diners.
The Hollywood Diner is supposed to be getting Superchargers, a full classic dining experience, and a drive-in movie theatre. But it is not your stylish old film projectors – Tesla is using two 45ft LED screens in the parking lot, bringing the future to its diner. Up to 77 guests will be able to find outdoor seating to watch the movies playing on either screen or can be seated inside their Teslas, and watch while Supercharging.
We’ve been seeing some cool updates related to the drive-in diner recently.
Construction & Stainless Steel
Construction seems to be progressing well on the diner, with the structure being completed. Most interestingly, the entire two-story diner will be getting stainless steel siding for the outside. Perhaps it’ll be the same material that the Cybertruck is made out of? It’ll have a past brought into the future style with the hallmarks of a 50’s diner, but it will also feature cool tech and style that Tesla brings to it.
Most construction for the exterior has now been completed, and work crews have moved on to working on the interior. We’ll likely see it completed by the end of 2024. Tesla broke ground on the 200-seat diner in September 2022.
Job Posting
On that same front, Tesla has opened up job postings for a “Diner Experience Specialist”, who will be responsible for “providing an unparalleled and immersive” customer experience for both charging and dining.
That’s a pretty vague job description, but it comes with a salary range of $83,600 to $285,000 USD. It sounds like this will be a management position for the diner, and whoever gets the job will be responsible for both ensuring that Tesla’s vision stays on point with the drive-in theatre, dining, and Supercharging experience, as well as making sure the place functions properly and lives up to its potential.
