Unless we soon come up with a single standard for rapidly swapping batteries, or a lightning-fast charging system, "refueling" for an electric car on the highway will rhyme with "pause." And Tesla seems to have got it right, given its diner project.
It's official: Tesla will open a 50s-themed fast food restaurant. The project is called Tesla Diner and will be located in Hollywood, California. Elon Musk, after having obtained the necessary permits, is ready to start the works for the construction of this structure which will combine entertainment and the recharging of electric vehicles.
Relax, don't do it

It's not just Frankie who goes to Hollywood, especially when it comes to relaxing (those who don't understand the quote are from Generation Z). The Tesla Diner that will be built in Santa Monica will not only be a recharging point for electric cars, but will offer a complete experience: two cinemas, a restaurant and 32 Superchargers for Tesla cars.
The project, stopped for a while due to some changes that Tesla had decided to make, has now obtained the approval of the authorities and is ready to become operational.

A formula, that of the "recharge break", which had been in the air for some time. In Germany there have been extensive studies on the best possible development for these "gas stations of the future", we have talked about them extensively here. In hindsight, it seems almost obvious that the first to enter the game would have been those who first bet decisively on the electric car.
What will the Tesla Diner be like?
Musk's company has not yet released official images or renderings, but has announced that the style of the location will be a mix between the future and the 50s. In short, a new place of worship, as eclectic as the property.

It goes without saying that Tesla fans have already gone wild on the net hypothesizing the final appearance of the Tesla Diner: accompanying this article you can see their creations, and we also made one on the cover.
What to say? Let's see if Tesla will create a paradigm for refueling too, after having done it for the car as well. That would be... Electrifying.
