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.
 
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?
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.
 
There will some associated sounds from restaurant goers. I’m thinking the movie clips will be piped into our cars via Bluetooth etc. for our enjoyment…. maybe to our electronic devices as we sit and dine??
As for the in and outs of vehicles parking/departing …???
We are basically silent. I can’t count the number of times that other Tesla’s that were charging near me, all of a sudden have vanished as I look up from reading or watching the 17 inch and notice they have departed as different vehicles have arrived. We come and go and barely a sound or notice. Maybe some racket from a few poor souls who are in dire need of attention but for the most part we are a quiet bunch.

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.
