Tesla’s Los Angeles Diner, Drive-In Theater, and Supercharger Nears Completion
Tesla’s ambitious project in West Hollywood is taking shape as it approaches the one-year mark of construction. Recent photos reveal the installation of the first V4 Supercharger stalls, marking a significant milestone in the development.
On Saturday, AL Set shared images on X (formerly Twitter) showcasing the new V4 Supercharger posts. These stalls, still wrapped in protective cardboard, are being mounted on concrete curbs.

The diner building itself is also progressing well, promising a unique venue where electric vehicle owners can soon charge, dine, and enjoy entertainment.
Project Timeline
- Late September 2023: Initial construction began at 7001 Santa Monica Blvd.
- Early November 2023: Restaurant building structures started to rise
- March 2024: First movie screen frame constructed
- Late July 2024: Second movie screen frame erected after power line relocation
The concept for this innovative space originated from Elon Musk’s 2018 social media musings. He envisioned an “old school drive-in, roller skates & rock restaurant” combined with Tesla’s charging infrastructure. One proposed feature is a pop-up menu in Tesla vehicles that appears as soon as charging begins, streamlining the food ordering process.
Key Features of the Site
- 1950s-themed diner restaurant
- Two drive-in movie theater screens

- Curated movie clips for entertainment during charging sessions
The project represents a fusion of Tesla’s cutting-edge technology with nostalgic Americana, creating a unique destination for electric vehicle enthusiasts and casual diners alike. As construction nears completion, the site promises to offer a glimpse into the future of integrated charging and entertainment experiences.
