Tesla’s Diner/Drive-In Theater For Superchargers Sounds Cool But Overdone
Tesla has filed plans for a diner and drive-in theater at a supercharger station. One issue with charging electric vehicles is the amount of time it takes to charge them. It can takebetween 30 minutes and 12 hours, depending on the size of the battery and the speed of the charger. This is much more time-consuming than filling up a car with gas, which takes a few minutes. So, the EV company added Tesla Theater to vehicles with apps like Netflix. Users can pay $10 a month for Tesla’s LTE cellular connectivity to use this feature. It also started deploying Starlink antennas at supercharging stations last year. These are great ways to pass the time while waiting for an EV to charge. It looks like Tesla is planning another way for its customers to entertain themselves during charging.
