Tesla’s Diner/Drive-In Theater For Superchargers Sounds Cool But Overdone
screenrant.comTesla 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.
This isn’t the first time plans have been revealed about a Tesla diner. In 2018, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced plans for an old-school drive-in that would feature roller skates and a rock and roll restaurant. It was planned at a new supercharger location in Los Angeles. People weren’t sure if Musk was joking, but he was serious. While Tesla applied for the permits, it never materialized because it was stalled due to regulations. So, the company moved forward with the charging station and not the drive-in. Last year, Musk announced again that he was still planning on creating a 1950s diner at the location.
