"Tesla Diner celebrity chef Eric Greenspan told Eater that the menu was scaled down due to unprecedented demand"
This is because there have been non-stop lines and demand. They are simplifying so they can get food to everyone.
Maybe Tesla dinner has been a brainchild of somebody who actually drove BEV and got into charging problems in the middle of a night in a bumfuck nowhere and not enough charge to get to a different point? I have been in that situation, that feeling of helplessness while you are essentially holding your salvation in your hand, yet it does not work, can be really crushing.

I mean, really they should be getting the pigs from Bosch.

I think the longest we've spent at a Supercharger was maybe 20 mins. The charge rates really drop (like charging any battery), so it often makes more sense to just stop a couple times with a low battery and add another 100 miles of range in < 5-10 mins.
But I would hope that Tesla has much better data on their users to be able to determine how long people would stop, and where.

I would assume a better model might be locating the supercharger near a robust/successful location with plenty of restaurants and coffee shops.
but some superchargers are in pretty desolate areas - that might be a better place for "the company cafeteria"
