Tesla recently opened its first diner and drive-in experience in West Hollywood, providing a distinctive combination of charging facilities, entertainment, and dining inside a retro-futuristic setting. Situated on the historic Route 66, the Tesla Diner features an elegant two-story design with more than 250 seats and 80 V4 Supercharger stalls, establishing it as the largest urban Supercharging station globally.

The 9,300-square-foot edifice, designed by Stantec, exemplifies a retro-futuristic character. The architectural style is influenced by mid-century Americana, featuring curving metallic surfaces, neon accents, and large glass panels that present a stylized futuristic image. The diner functions continuously, operating 24/7, and features a rooftop "Skypad" deck that provides a view of the city, along with two large 20-meter LED megascreens. Patrons may either eat indoors or place orders via their Tesla vehicle's touchscreen, with food brought to the driver's side window. The menu, designed by chef Eric Greenspan, features traditional diner cuisine with a Tesla influence – smash burgers, hot dogs, chicken and waffles, and hand-spun milkshakes are presented in Cybertruck-themed packaging.

In addition to food and charging, the Tesla Diner provides exclusive products, such as a Tesla Bot action figure, diner-themed clothing, and branded confections. Solar canopies provide shade for the western charging lot, resulting in a projected yearly decrease of 12 million kilograms of CO₂ emissions. The Tesla Diner transforms the traditional roadside pit stop into a magnet for EV drivers and inquisitive tourists with its multifaceted utility and striking appearance.
