    Was in the area, feeling hungry, and fuel near emptied. Set destination to Tesla Diner while on the road, system preconditions my car to prep for fast charging and the Tesla Diner menu pops up on my Tesla screen with option to pre-order my meal prior to arrival (how cool is that!). Parking lot is only for Tesla charging vehicles, with additional charging stations around the corner (but walkable path). If you don't drive a Tesla or don't need charging, looks like you'll have to find street parking because you can't park in the diner parking lot if your car is not charging. The burgers and fries are packed so cutely in little Cybertruck paper boxes. Despite the food looking dry and unappealing in the photos, the flavor is quite good, for every single item we tried. The service is excellent, and they are willing to customize your order to accommodate for food allergies, even showed me a printed chart when I inquired. You can first place an order on the kiosk then immediately speak to an employee informing that you need the order customized, and they will gladly accommodate. Lovely interior design and architect, clean restrooms, enjoyable visit. Looks like a popular tourist destination stop too, I see international tourists being dropped off by private vans on the street and picked up after dining. I would definitely swing by for a bite if in the area next time, or recommend out-of-town guests to pay a visit when enroute to other destinations.

    My favorite part was watching The Jetson while I ate my food on the rooftop. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and cheese fries. The customer service was good and everyone was helpful. I love the ambiance is very futuristic and modern (less is more). The Tesla boxes for food are soooo cute Would I come again, maybe but I'm not pressed or rushing.

    We came right after a heavy breakfast nearby and fully intended to just look around while charging our Tesla. That plan lasted about five minutes. The kids saw the place and immediately ordered waffles and chia seed pudding as breakfast round two -- zero regrets. At the risk of dating myself, the whole futuristic interior felt straight out of The Jetsons -- futuristic in the best possible way. The robots were such a hit with the kids, and every detail felt playful and thoughtfully designed. From the self-serve ordering kiosks to food arriving in little Cybertruck-shaped paper boxes (adorable), the whole experience had this "future diner" magic. The kids were obsessed. Honestly... so were the adults. The rooftop/balcony dining area was another surprise highlight -- complimentary popcorn while watching cartoons on giant screens? Such a fun touch. It somehow feels nostalgic and futuristic at the same time. And maybe my favorite detail of all: the diner menu popped up on our Tesla screen right when we plugged in to charge, with a cute little burger icon at the bottom of our screen. That seamless integration was just ridiculously cool. This is so much more than a gimmick or novelty stop -- it's genuinely a blast, especially with kids. Yes the food itself is a bit overpriced, but great energy, clever details everywhere, and an experience unlike anything else....

    If you don't have a Tesla you'll need to do street parking since their lot is only for Tesla drivers who are charging. I didn't have much expectations going in but I was super surprised at the details and how futurist it felt inside. The space was spotless and you can really tell the workers paid attention to detail when cleaning. As for food I don't usually like smash burgers but his is one of the best ones I've ever had. It has a nice crispy outside with plenty of juiciness inside

    Highly recommend adding the Tesla Diner to your LA tour list! They sell merch on the top floor and have very futuristic stariways and even the Tesla Generation Robots to look at on your way up. They even give out free popcorn on the top. We ordered the Tesla Giga Burger and a Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Both were delicious!! We did end up buying a t-shirt and a Tesla diner take-out cyber truck box. The service is really good too! Everyone is very nice and understood our excitment when entering the diner.

    Not a Tesla fan but I am a fan of this charging station and diner. We needed to charge your car after a late night hockey game before driving home out of town. We found this charging station since we have an adapter we are able to charge here. They have a drive-in movie to watch while you were charging your vehicle as well as a diner. The diner is a futuristic theme that reminds me of tomorrowland in Disneyland. It is very clean you can order via tablets and go have a seat. They'll text you when your order is ready. We ordered a side of fries which were crispy and freshly made, and the breakfast tacos, which were full of flavor and very delicious. This staff was friendly and the restrooms are clean. Definitely recommend this stop if you need to charge and get a bite to eat before heading out of town.

    The Tesla Giga Burger was surprisingly good and so was my strawberry matcha with oat milk. The only downside? Those two items cost over $29 (with 15% gratuity). I had to charge my car and I was in the area so why not stop by. The parking lot surrounding the diner is pretty cool with two large movie screens for people to watch from their cars while charging. The actual diner is future retro looking with counter seating and booths. Order from the kiosk or from your car and pick up your food inside when your number is called. The Giga Burger is grass fed prime smashed flat with caramelized onions and pickles with lettuce and American cheese. I had the electric sauce, which is like a spicy thousand island, on the side. I should've made it a double. So tasty. The strawberry matcha wasn't anything special but it was good too. Tesla or not, you gotta try this place at least once.

    Honestly, you can say what you wanna say about Tesla and this Tesla diner, but there's no doubt about it. The whole experience is unique and very cool. Tesla brought back an old school memory by having a drive-in type of experience while you're charging your electric vehicle. There are many other electric cars other than Teslas here so I'm pretty sure you can also charge your EV is here as well that doesn't fall underneath the Tesla family. I would recommend pulling around to the front charger if you can, if anything is available because that's when you can actually see the view of the diner, watch movies, pick up food easily, and enjoy in your car. I made the mistake by parking at the back charger so I didn't really see too much and had to walk a little bit to go all the way to the front. I ended up ordering some Tesla Gummies, and just some fries. While I was waiting for my gummy's, I noticed that there was a whole upstairs deck that you're able to take a seat and enjoy the movie. While I was sitting there, I had an employee come up to me and offer some popcorn while I was watching the movie. My overall experience with the staff, diner and charging experience was definitely unique and enjoyable.

    Love or hate Tesla, this diner makes a strong statement. From the nostalgic exterior that resembles a 1950s classic car diner to the ultra-futuristic interior with a robot serving popcorn, it feels like traveling Back to the Future. A fun place with a fun menu, even though it may be a tiny bit overpriced, the experience is worth it

    Second visit and this time it was so much smoother. Aaron took great care of us while we ate at the bar area. Food was good and the ambiance was chill. Best part my car charged in 11 minutes....

    Visiting LA and it just so happens this was the closest charging station... how cool!! I pulled up at 7am so they open early serving food and coffee. There's an option to deliver it to you but i wanted to see inside. Pretty cool! I'd didn't get to try food because I have other breakfast plans but I did get a matcha and it was not bad at all!! I'd totally come back here the next time in LA.

    We have 2 Teslas so we were curious to see the Diner. We parked to charge our car and then a menu popped up on our control panel. We could have ordered from our car, but decided to go inside and look around. The thing I noticed first was a big giant balloon dog. It's the same as the dog mode avatar. 2 movie screens were outside playing Close Encounters of the 3rd kind. Inside, we ordered our food at a panel and then we would go later to the counter and pick it up when it was ready. In the mean time, we explored. We climbed the stairs to the roof. Up there, there was outside seating and you could watch the movie. They served Free popcorn and it was delicious. They also sold Tesla Diner merchandise. They also had 3 Tesla robots on display as you walked from the ground floor to the roof. We went back down to get our food and it was very delicious! We were surprised because we just ordered a tuna melt and some breakfast tacos. We shattered and they were surprisingly filling. Of course it wasn't cheap, but at least it was tasty.

    Why don't you make my food!

    Only good for charging. Architecturally it's pretty but functionally ineffective. The skypad was closed. We were hoping for more of a robotically run diner. The food was good but nothing too impressive. One bathroom which someone was in for a long time. The one plus was it was the first charge station that had a tire fill station. I would also like to see a place to clean the windshields at charge stations.
