Musk plans to open all-night Tesla diner and charging station

admin 2022.05.31 19:48 Views : 75

The connection between fast food and car culture goes back to the infancy of both: As motorists took to the expanding system of highways across the United States in the early 20th century, shops offering road-friendly eats cropped up to serve them. Drive-ins, drive-through lanes and mobile-ordering parking spots all came to cater to our car-wedded world.

 

Now, a possible new chapter in the intertwined story is being written: Tesla is developing plans for an all-night diner attached to one of the stations where users charge their vehicles, filing plans this month with Los Angeles for a 9,300-square-foot facility.

Though the technology might be cutting edge, the idea behind it harks back to the golden age of the drive-in, which was as much a place to show off your finned, chrome-trimmed ride as it was to fill up on cheeseburgers and fries. Tesla founder Elon Musk sounded cognizant of the connection in his 2018 announcement of the plan in which he promised an old-school “roller skates & rock restaurant” at one of the company’s “supercharger” stations.

The newly filed plans feature a rooftop bar, a drive-in theater and a carhop area, though the vibe seems more futuristic than retro, according to electric vehicle news site Electrek, which first reported on them. The facility will be built on Santa Monica Boulevard in Hollywood, where a Shakey’s Pizza is located. The design includes 29 stalls for charging cars, allowing patrons to dine and watch short movies while they wait.600px-Tesla_logo.png
