    Issues connecting to the movie
    Jennifer C.

    I liked the Tesla Diner a lot more than I thought I would! I came on the one year anniversary and they had roller skating gals delivering orders to your car. I came back a week later and it was just a guy dressed in black walking the order to my car. Classic movies playing on the two drive-in theater type screens. I was never able to get my Tesla car to play the movie and sound inside though. Neat interior with Tesla displays and Optimus Prime on exhibit. Free popcorn upstairs and good viewing deck for the movie. It was a few minutes wait to get into the parking lot the first time, and they had lots of staff directing traffic and kicking out people who were sleeping in cars.

    Fun experience while you charge your Tesla. Despite being in the heart of Hollywood, it was packed! There was a wait to find an open charging spot. The diner is cool inside, food is a bit pricey, a regular smash burger is $15 after tax and does not include fries. The upper level has 2 big screens where you can watch a movie while enjoying your food or have some of their free popcorn. Staff is friendly. There is also an option to order from your car and they bring the food to you. Restrooms are clean but only 3 or 4 so there was a wait.

    When in LA... Immaculately kept inside and out. Decor was futuristic. I ordered from my car and my shake was ready after I plugged my car in and walked inside. I paid $10.50 for a small chocolate shake (10 oz?) and $9.32 to charge 17.59 kWh @ $0.53. There is free popcorn available on the 2nd floor. There are 2 large screens to view whatever is playing. There are plenty of charging spaces.

    This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen! I was in the area and decided to stop by. The main parking lot is a little hectic but if you exit there are a lot more stalls available. I liked seeing the different Optimus versions throughout the inside and the fun Tesla merch available. I tried the fried pickles (they were okay), the spicy chicken sandwich (delicious but greasy!!), the insane coffee (fine) and the chia pudding (fine). I love that it's available 24/7 though. Picking up the order was a little hectic and different than what the app had instructed me to do but the staff was apologetic and friendly. Will definitely be back if I'm in the area!

    I've always passed the Tesla Diner when some game is playing on the big screens or just to charge, never to eat. Food is served 24/7 but the dining room closes at midnight. I'm not too sure when the Skypad is open or closes too, but it wasn't open this Friday around 11:00PM. Service is minimal, you walk in, order on a tablet, and wait for a text to get your order from the pickup counter. We both got Tesla Giga Burgers and they come in these cute cybertruck boxes, but unfortunately these burgers were dry and wet. The patties were smashed and burned to oblivion that it brought tears to my eyes to swallow from it scratching and refusing to go down my throat. Getting to the middle, there actually were some nice juicy bits, but for $13.50 it felt like there were 3 bites of a real burger. The fries are standard, not crispy on the inside and not soft on the inside. Usually I see something playing 24/7 but today there was nothing? But chargers are very fast, there's some futuristic spacey music playing and it's a fun place to visit! Parking is only for charging teslas and is really fast.

    Kids combo, three fried chicken strips with fries was better than I expected. Chicken batter seasoned and meat juicy. Paired with the maple mayo. Also got a cheesy hot dog, with crispy potato sticks and ketchup/mustard. Free popcorn on the 2nd level. Free water next to the condiments.

    It was mid. It's kind of in a area I wouldn't expect. And although there are any charging stools, they are often very if not all full. There are two large movie screens, but they are only on one side of the building so if you park where the map take you. Or where they direct you first, then you can't watch the movie from your car. There's only a very small parking lot by the movie screens. You can't see the screens from the diner though. If you're sitting on the upper deck. As for the food, it's OK. It's definitely not bad, but it's not the most amazing thing I've ever eaten. Across our family, we ordered a spicy chicken sandwich, a Smashburger, grilled cheese, a hotdog, regular fries, cheese, fries, a birthday shake, fried pickles, and a fountain cream soda. The kids like their hotdog and grilled cheese. They looked good. The birthday cake milkshake was good. The sandwich and the Smashburger were really good. My husband really liked the fried pickles. I did not try them. It was not as expensive as I expected, but was a tiny bit pricey but not any more than other restaurants these days. The food came in little boxes that looked like Teslas are cyber trucks, depending on what you bought. There is free cups of water and free popcorn. You can buy limited Tesla merch there. There is three individual bathrooms. So that definitely causes a little bit of an issue. There was lines the entire time I was there. But they were clean.

    Super cool and unique experience. Love that you can pre order when you are near the diner. I also love the drive inn screens you can watch from the top floor. The only con is that the bathrooms are single use only and seem to always be packed. Literally a line to pee is crazy at a place like this. Food was decent and priced well.

    We stopped by the Tesla Diner and loved the futuristic vibe. The giant TVs were the highlight, especially watching the World Cup from the upstairs seating with free popcorn. The lighted staircase looked awesome, the Optimus robots in the windows were a cool touch, and the Cybertruck to-go boxes made great souvenirs. The milkshake was just okay, and everything felt a bit overpriced for what you get. Still, it's a fun experience and a nice spot to hang out, even for folks in the area who got to enjoy the big screens.

    what's happening??!!!! did something happen place feels overrun now plenty of other EV charging here too lots of tourists inside with their luggage does not feel like an oasis anymore

    As a huge Tesla fan, I've wanted to check out this place ever since it opened. I watched plenty of reviews beforehand, so I already knew the food was expensive and kept my expectations realistic. I mainly came for the atmosphere, the experience, and to take some photos. I like that they're open 24/7. I originally wanted to visit during the day, but traffic and a concert made that impossible. We arrived just before 11 pm. after the concert, and the restaurant was almost empty. Since we rented a gas car, we parked on a nearby residential street just one block away, which was easy that late at night. While we were taking pictures outside, someone drove by, rolled down his window, yelled an insult at us, and sped off like a coward. However, it didn't ruin my day. The food is definitely expensive. I ordered the Tesla Giga Burger and fries. They were good, but not worth the price in my opinion. The restaurant itself was very clean and had a sleek, futuristic design. I tried to bus my own table but couldn't find a place to leave my tray, and a staff member told me to just bring it to the counter. We got here too late and they turned off the movie right at 11 pm. The merch sale also ended at 11 pm. I couldn't come all the way here without getting some Tesla Diner exclusive merch. Even though the employee on the second floor looked like she was getting ready to go home, she still helped me purchase some merch and even gave us the remaining popcorn from the machine. Overall, I enjoyed the experience more than the food. I'd definitely come back during the day if I'm ever in the area again, and I hope they open more locations around the country.

    The drive down to Tesla Diner itself was cool. I mean it's Hollywood! The entrance to the diner was a bit confusing tho. We ended up getting navigation to the West side which is the Tesla charger parking but the real entrance to the diner is in the East side which is the opposite. Once we figured that part out it was easy We found the diner soon as we found an open Tesla charger. Looking up there's a huge tv screen playing the launching of SpaceX which my husband wanted to see. It was the countdown and really cool to watch Also what's really cool is that if you're driving a Tesla or Cybertruck, you can preorder thru the menu from your car and you'll get notified when they're going to start making your orders. The downfall of this is that there's no confirmation numbers. Just your name, so when we entered the Diners it looked nearly empty except for a few staffs. The cashier asked us if he can take our orders. My husband replied we already ordered. The staff looked confused until my husband explained that we ordered online. Then the cashier asked for his name and found the orders. We were then told to wait around the corner for our food. Once our food arrived we made our way upstairs with our dog, Peanut. Did I mention they're dog friendly? They did not have any water fountain or treats for dogs but I saw several people with their pooch. Luckily we brought our own water container for our Peanut. I was expecting to get greeted or get our food or at least popcorn being served by the AI robot but instead it was off and on display behind a glass. How disappointing. I saw 2 of these robots. There were stairs up to the second level but we took the elevator. We then found a table and it was like a picnic bench with umbrellas. I used the restroom which was very modern and clean. Thanks for that! Ok you're wondering when am I going to get to the food part right? Well I saved that for last being that the food was mediocre for the high price we paid. It was a $13.50 single patty burger without fries and a $9 hard and dry grilled cheese sandwich. The cheese was lukewarm and turned solid by the time we got it. Nonetheless it was cool to check this place out at least once. I recommend it but I would not order food from here in the future. Perhaps if they had Cobb salad or chef salad, chicken fingers or crispy fried wings with fries for about $15 then yes. Oh we also bought a black bandana with a Tesla dog mode logo on it for Peanut and put it on him right away. Someone stopped us and ask for Peanut's photo wearing the bandana hehee... Our mutt might become a star? Idk but one can only hope lol

    I had to charge my car and figured might as well check out the famed Tesla diner while I do that. The building was futuristic, reminiscent of something you'd see at Tomorrowland at Disney. Although most of the service was self-service, the workers were very kind. The food was okay, nothing wrong with it, just overpriced for what it was. Definitely a cool spot to check out if you haven't been before

    No working robots this Sunday.

    Whats better burger with bun or without?

    Get one of each 😉

The drip coffee was decent, not my favorite but got the job done and they were good about refills. The lox bagel was light, easy on the cream cheese, and had the toppings that make a lox just right. Our server was extremely attentive even through the busyness. My only qualm was the 20% large party charge on our bill despite us splitting our group, sitting on different tables, and getting two separate checks. There's also a 4% additional tax "Kitchen Appreciation" which caught us off guard. Gotta love LA. Loved the diner minus the uncalled for additional charges.
