Tesla has won permit approval for its Diner and Drive-In Movie Supercharger in Los Angeles, according to documents seen by Teslarati from the LA Department of Building and Safety.
Tesla has been teasing the possibility for several years of a drive-in movie theater and diner Supercharger site that would host 32 stalls, two screens to show famous movie clips, and a restaurant with rooftop seating.
Initially, it was planned to be built on a series of lots in Santa Monica. However, the location was moved East to Hollywood and will now be placed on located at 7001 W. Santa Monica Boulevard.
As the project has been moving through the normal regulatory processes, Tesla has been receiving some approvals and requests for corrections on many of its filed applications to begin construction at the Diner/Supercharger.
PERMIT AND PROJECT APPROVAL
In late July, Tesla received approval for the restaurant to grade the area, build walls, and build movie screens on the lot.
These applications were submitted by Tesla in November 2022, and after eight months, the plan was approved by the City of Los Angeles, and the permit was issued on July 18.
The project’s architect is listed as Stantec Architecture, which is based out of Chandler, Arizona. Meanwhile, the contractor listed is PCL Construction Services Inc., which is based out of Glendale, California.
On August 9, the initial grading inspection was completed and approved, so Tesla essentially has the green light to finally move forward with the project.
As previously mentioned, the site will house 32 Supercharger stalls, a restaurant with various food offerings, rooftop seating, and of course, two movie theater screens where clips of famous movies will be shown, according to CEO Elon Musk.
Agreed. 5000 amps would support 32 stalls.View attachment 973937

Two different PERMIT numbers associated to this project. Both are "Ready to be Issued" as of as 09/13/2023. Second permit mentions "8 Superchargers", I assume they refer to the cabinets, 8 x 4 = 32 (name correction/number of stalls needed here on TMC) @bmah
that would be amazingCould someone set up a construction webcam in the adjacent apartments across the street.
Do a GoFundMe to get someone to put up an internet enabled webcam. I'll kick in the first $50.that would be amazing
Not going to be fun living across the street from a 24/7 diner/drive-in theater/32 stall charge station, lol. Will this be a Tesla only station?Could someone set up a construction webcam in the adjacent apartments across the street.
I lived in this neighborhood for 6 years. Most including myself didn’t live there because we needed quiet country living. Noise and lights just comes with the territory and most put up with it in exchange for other city living perks.Not going to be fun living across the street from a 24/7 diner/drive-in theater/32 stall charge station, lol.

The city probably has limits imposed on when movies can be played. Doubt they will be running 24/7. Same for the restaurant. Doesn’t make sense financially to staff a restaurant 24/7 when most people charging in the wee hours will be quick top offs to get where they are going. At most you’d just need one person for grab and go type things, not full staff for sit down meals overnight.Not going to be fun living across the street from a 24/7 diner/drive-in theater/32 stall charge station, lol.
