On July 24, Elon Musk revealed on Platform X thatTeslaofHumanoid Robot Optimus About to get a new job -- as a delivery boy at the Supercharger Diner in Los Angeles.
The Supercharger restaurant opened its doors for the first time on Monday, with Optimus serving popcorn, which is currently its only duty. However, Musk said that Optimus will be promoted in 2026, when it will act as a "delivery person," bringing customers' food orders directly to their cars, eliminating the need for them to go into the store to pick up their food.
Tesla's Supercharger restaurant aims to create a 1950s diner experience while incorporating elements of futuristic technology, according to 1AI. In the 1950s, drive-ins were frequented places where people could grab a bite to eat and watch a movie. Tesla's Supercharger restaurant, which opened this week in Los Angeles, is a clever blend of that retro and futuristic feel.
Customers can order food directly from the car, synchronize the vehicle's center screen and stereo with the two oversized projection screens in the restaurant, watch movie clips played by the Tesla, or even choose to go into the store and step out of the car for a moment of rest.
The restaurant is equipped with 80 Superchargers, which are not only available for Tesla electric cars, but also for other brands of electric cars as long as their manufacturers have access to Tesla's charging network. The restaurant is also open to non-electric car owners, who can park outside the restaurant and come in to enjoy their food.
