Tesla Diner Opens in Los Angeles: Five-Hour Waits, Robot Interactions, and Futuristic Dining Experience
Los Angeles, CA – The highly anticipated Tesla Diner in Los Angeles has opened its doors, drawing massive crowds and creating a unique blend of automotive innovation and futuristic dining. Visitors reported wait times extending up to five hours, eager to experience the diner's distinctive features. The establishment, designed with Tesla's signature sleek aesthetic, offers a modern dining experience alongside its primary function as a Tesla Supercharger station. Guests can charge their electric vehicles while enjoying a meal. The interior boasts a clean, minimalist design with mood lighting and a bar area, extending to a rooftop section offering panoramic views. A highlight for many attendees was the interaction with Tesla's humanoid robot, Optimus. The robot was observed assisting with tasks, including serving complimentary popcorn, much to the delight of children and adults alike. One visitor noted, "My son absolutely loved this part; he had to meet the Tesla robot Optimus." The menu features classic American diner fare with a Tesla twist, including the "Tesla Burger" and a spicy chicken waffle sandwich. While some items, like the spicy chicken waffle sandwich, received high praise for their flavor and texture, others, such as the fries, were described as bland. The overall sentiment, however, leaned towards the novelty and experience being the main draw, rather than solely the culinary offerings. The diner also provides a gift shop with Tesla-themed merchandise.
