Tesla’s Retro Diner Opens in Los Angeles with EV Flair and Neighborhood Tensions
Tesla's Hollywood diner launch blends retro aesthetics with futuristic touches, featuring EV-only parking, rooftop seating, and Optimus robot greeters. The 250-seat venue adjacent to Paramount Studios plays curated media clips on massive LED screens during average charging sessions—though culinary operations remain human-driven under chef Eric Greenspan.
Local reception splits sharply between Tesla enthusiasts celebrating the immersive experience and residents voicing traffic and noise concerns. Notably absent is Musk's 2018 promise of cryptocurrency payments, leaving Dogecoin holders waiting for future integration.
