Tesla Diner in California Showcases Key Construction Progress
Construction is steadily advancing on Tesla’s innovative diner, Supercharger, and drive-in movie theater located in West Hollywood, California. Recent drone footage has spotlighted significant progresses, such as the installation of glass panels, weatherproofing preparations, and more.
Significant Glass and Weatherproofing Update
Drone footage captured by the YouTube channel 247Tesla, shared on Monday and Tuesday, provided an in-depth look at the ongoing construction efforts. In these videos, the Tesla Diner is beginning to take shape as a 1950s-style eatery. Crews were busy installing glass panels for counter-height windows and preparing the site for weatherproofing measures. Notably, the second of the planned two movie screens is also nearly fully installed.
Efficient Supercharger Integration
One of the critical updates shown in the footage includes freshly poured concrete over the high-voltage lines, essential for powering the Supercharger stations. These Supercharger stations are vital for ensuring Tesla vehicles have accessible and efficient charging options at the site. The videos also reveal a large stock of conduits ready for further installations.

A Modern Retro-Inspiration
The Tesla Diner, located at 7001 Santa Monica Blvd., Los Angeles, seeks to offer a nostalgic 1950s experience. According to initial concepts shared by Elon Musk on what was then Twitter, the diner will feature rock and roll music and roller-skating waitstaff. The drive-in theater will showcase two screens displaying iconic movie scenes, creating a unique blend of nostalgia and modern convenience.
From Santa Monica to West Hollywood
Although the project was initially planned for Santa Monica, it was later moved to its current West Hollywood site. Construction began after final permit approvals in August of the previous year. The ongoing developments reflect significant strides since the initial ground-breaking.
Conclusion
Tesla’s Diner, along with its Supercharger and drive-in theater, continues to evolve, blending cutting-edge technology with nostalgic vibes. The latest construction milestones, including the installation of glass, preparations for weatherproofing, and efficient integration of high-voltage lines, signal a promising path towards the project’s completion.
