Tesla's Hollywood Diner: Stainless Steel Facade and New Job Opportunities [Photos + Video]

Tesla is bringing a nostalgic twist to West Hollywood, California, with the construction of a classic drive-in diner. Inspired by the iconic diners of the past, this new venture promises to blend retro charm with modern innovation.

The Hollywood Diner will offer more than just food; it’s set to become a destination with Superchargers, a full-fledged dining experience, and a state-of-the-art drive-in movie theater. Instead of traditional film projectors, Tesla is installing two massive 45-foot LED screens in the parking lot. Guests can enjoy the show from outdoor seating or from the comfort of their Teslas while they charge.

Progress in Construction & Unique Design

Construction on the diner is moving along swiftly. The structure is nearly complete, with the most eye-catching feature being its exterior – the entire two-story building will be clad in stainless steel. This futuristic material choice, possibly inspired by the Cybertruck, gives a nod to the past while embracing the sleek, cutting-edge aesthetics Tesla is known for.

As exterior work wraps up, crews have shifted focus to the interior. With the diner expected to open by the end of 2024, Tesla is working hard to ensure that the 200-seat venue is ready to welcome guests. The groundbreaking for this ambitious project began in September 2022, and it’s clear that Tesla aims to create a one-of-a-kind experience.

New Opportunities: Job Listings

In line with the progress, Tesla has started recruiting for a “Diner Experience Specialist.” This role is key to delivering Tesla’s vision of an unparalleled and immersive experience for both dining and charging.

While the job description remains broad, the position offers a salary range between $83,600 and $285,000 USD, indicating a significant level of responsibility. The selected candidate will oversee the diner’s operations, ensuring that the drive-in theater, dining experience, and Supercharging services meet Tesla’s high standards and operate seamlessly.
