- Los Angeles headquarters offers EV load, food and more
- The project has been seven years
- Tesla owners can synchronize movies on the big screen with screens in the car
Tesla has officially opened the doors to its retro-fouturist diner, which is located in Santa Monica Boulevard in Los Angeles and bends as a load destination and a hip meeting place.
Announced for the first time by the CEO Elon Musk in 2018, the project only launched two years ago, with very little information meanwhile about exactly what it would imply.
But, unlike some of the other Tesla projects, it seems to have overcome its promise.
The large corner plot houses 80 v4 supercharging stalls that are open to any electric vehicle with the standard port of North America (NACS), while the solar reeds offer shadow to the drivers and provide energy to the load points and the site.
There is also a 24/7 restaurant, complete with a superior lever skypad for outdoor dinner, serve hamburgers, fried potatoes, chicken wings, milkshakes and other classical culinary delights All-American. In addition, Tesla owners can order through an application of custom diner from inside their vehicles and receive food in their car.
Attend
Two “megascreeens” 66 feet LED play a rotation of modern and classic films, which can be enjoyed from the Skypad or from inside the car for an authentic in the self -service experience, since an application to measure synchronizes the interior screens with what is happening outside.
According to Tesla, the menu has been curated by chef Eric Greenspan and Restorer Bill Chait, but has been designed to imitate the offers found in the classic diners yesterday. So think of hamburgers with cheese, fried potatoes and smoothies.
Of course, there is also a merchandise support that sells everything, from caps and t -shirts to “supercharged gommies”. Ah, and the food is served in small boxes in a cybernetic way, which is beautiful.
Analysis: exactly what the EV industry needs
Despite the recent registration figures that suggest that electric vehicles are slowly becoming more popular among buyers in the United States, Europe and beyond, there is still a large sector of the public that remains in the fence, or simply hates technology.
Tesla’s restaurant does not really need to exist, but it is exactly the kind of things that shows that electric vehicles can offer something a bit different. The ability to load simultaneously, eat and enjoy a movie certainly surpasses gasoline in all hands in a service station.
Elon Musk has already suggested that he plans to launch more places if he demonstrates it successful, while Rivian already has some of the best load positions in Joshua Tree and Yosemite.
Porsche and Mercedes-Benz are also expanding their loading rooms, which offer a premium environment and good coffee to anyone who uses them.
It is an intelligent solution to the potential pain point of the property of EV: convert the negative of the longest load sessions into a positive experience.
It is also sensible to move electric vehicles from the constant environmental messaging, CO2 reduction and sensitive fuel savings rhetoric. Suggesting that they can also be fun is an intelligent way to persuade an indecisive audience and the next generation.
