Elon Musk said more Tesla Inc.(NASDAQ:TSLA) Diners are coming, confirming an expansion of the retro-futuristic charging-and-food concept just days after he hinted that the next site could be in Palo Alto, California.

West Hollywood Site Tests The Concept

Musk had already sketched out broader ambitions shortly after the Los Angeles opening in July 2025, saying that if the prototype worked, Tesla could expand the format to major cities and long-distance Supercharger routes. He has also previously signaled a Starbase, Texas, location, tying the diner concept to the wider Tesla-SpaceX ecosystem rather than treating it as a one-off restaurant.

The current Tesla Diner at 7001 Santa Monica Blvd. in West Hollywood has become the proving ground. Tesla says the site has more than 250 dining seats, a second-story rooftop "Skypad" with city views, two large movie screens and 80 V4 Supercharger stalls, which the company calls the largest urban Supercharging station in the world.

Simplified Menu Still Draws Heavy Demand

The restaurant initially leaned into classic American diner food, including burgers, shakes, fried chicken and waffles and tuna melts, before demand forced a quick simplification. Tesla has shared few operating metrics, but an earlier report claims the diner sold about 50,000 burgers in the third quarter last year, highlighting the scale of demand even after the menu was pared back.

Price Action: TSLA closed 0.78% lower at $388.90 on Thursday, sliding another 0.19% in after-hours trading. It was down 11.22% year-to-date and up 61% over the year.

Benzinga’s Edge Stock Rankings indicate that TSLA maintains a stronger price trend over the short and long terms, a weaker trend in the medium term, and a poor value ranking.
