Tesla Diner Drops Most Menu Options and Cuts Hours Just Weeks After Opening

What is the business case for Tesla Diners? I can only think of Tesla/EV drivers on road trip looking for a place along their route to kill time while recharging. That can't be that big enough of a market.
silisili•14h ago
Do most charging stations even have enough charging spots to generate enough foot traffic to support a restaurant? Most restaurants near me have 50-100 parking spots. Even the tiny ones ran by a single person tend to have 8-10.

I hear themed restaurants are going to be big in the 2000s. Did you see Pulp Fiction? Gotta get on that trend early.

No idea... We've been perfectly happy to go to the Wawa-based Superchargers. They're clean, bright, and have a decent selection of things you'd stop for during a road trip.

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.

bryanlarsen•14h ago
Yeah, the Wawa supercharger is an essential stop. There aren't any chargers in Lake Superior provincial park so you pretty much always have to stop in Wawa when driving the Trans-Canada across Ontario. It'll likely be a longer charge for that reason, so you should check out the Goose statue or cross the road to Timmy's while you wait.

Plenty of brands have "flagship stores" that are used as marketing even if the location is not net profitable.
flowerthoughts•13h ago
It looks like they may have used the sheet metal from the cybertruck to build it, so perhaps it was a way to make use of a stockpile of steel? And real estate is a good investment. I'm sure there's a tax subsidy in here somewhere too.
m463•9h ago
I think there is demand for "stuff" while recharging.

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"

Typical blog spam slop from one of the worst offending sites.

"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.

dumbmrblah•14h ago
I agree. I dislike Elon as much as the next guy, but this seems like a pretty viable business.
eighthourblink•13h ago
Agree. Also how the article (well really the people) were complaining about long lines. I mean, is that not usually the case when something opens for the first time?

Tesla Dinner is essentially trying to reinvent a gas pump convenient store with facilities. Somebody maybe asked why gas pump had the facilities around them with an employee who can help you if something does not work, sometimes even in 3am?

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.
