In short
- Tesla opened a retro-style dinner in Hollywood with only-EV parking, dining on the roof and huge LED screens that played film clips.
- While an optimus robot serves popcorn, the kitchen is still run by humans.
- While Tesla fans praised the experience, some locals released concern about traffic, noise and the impact of the restaurant in the neighborhood.
The long-awaited retro-style dinner of Tesla is finally open during the weekend in Los Angeles, and yes, there is rolling waitstaff, seats on the roof and a humanoid robot that issues popcorn. No, you can’t pay in Dogecoin yet.
Located near the iconic Paramount Studios, the Dream with two-storey fever is on top of a supercharger hub with 80 EV-all-parking places.
Part Midcentury Nostalgia Trip, partly Muskovite Experiment, The Dinner takes place for 250 people and has two, drive-in-film format LED screens that are compiled with 30 minutes of film and TV show clips (intended to match the average Tesla charging time).
The menu offers Comfort Food Classics renamed the Megawatt -public.
The restaurant also contained an Optimus, Tesla’s in development Humanoid Robot, who handed out Popcorn to guests as an escaped from CES. However, kitchen operations were led by people under chef Eric Greenspan.
Musk suggested for the first time to open a restaurant with Tesla theme in January 2018. Mixtures of people were released, and there was a two-hour waiting time for lunch on Tuesday.
“It was a fantastic opening,” said the restaurant’s manager, Bill Chait, said Decodeer.

The menu adheres to the American tradition, with “Tesla Burger” cheese burgers, hot dogs, fried chicken and waffles, fries, cinnamon rolls and cookies and gravy. There is also a lot of merchandise from the Tesla brand.
The restaurant is cash without cashless and currently does not accept crypto, despite Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s confessed love for Dogecoin.
Reactions were mixed on prices, if not the food. “It was good but expensive,” said a restaurant. Another added: “We came last night and wanted to come back for more.”
The flashy location is on an industrial zone and a residential area, and with all the hustle and bustle plus the fact that the place is open 24/7, not all locals were enthusiastic. “It’s not at all with the neighborhood,” said a passer -by. “It’s just more gentrification.”

The influx of traffic has caused headaches, with congestion of strip centers and near-accidents while rubberneckers slowly take the spectacle.
Two 66-foot long LED screens did not help, of which a view of the nearby apartment bars of South Park Group, Inc.
South Park Group did not respond to requests for comment by Decodeer.

Well, the traffic will certainly die as more locations open – something that Musk has suggested could occur.
“If our retro-futuristic dinner suits you, what I think it will do, Tesla will establish it in large cities around the world, as well as on supercharger sites on long-distance routes,” he wrote on X.
Because nothing ‘sustainable future’ says as a Tesla Burger for 3 hours and a 66-foot screen that completely destroys your view of the world.
