"Remember that odd story about Tesla opening an 'old-school drive-in, roller skates and rock restaurant at one of the new supercharger locations in Los Angeles?' The one that got a bunch of attention back in 2018 simply because Musk tweeted about it? Well, as it turns out, the restaurant might be real soon. Truthfully, there hasn’t been much movement around Elon Musk’s idea in the past 36 months, besides hints that the project would be west of the 405. But then, just last week, the sometimes world’s richest man filed a trademark for just such a restaurant service, sparking renewed interest in the supercharger station and diner combo. Elektrek reported Tesla’s filing with the US Patent and Trademark Office, which seeks to use its name and logo for 'restaurant services;' the company also submitted new building applications this year. Back when Eater LA first reported on this story, the Tesla charging station/restaurant was bound for Santa Monica Boulevard and 14th Street in a former car dealer space, so there’s still a chance it comes true out that way. If completed, it would perhaps be the largest electric vehicle charging station in LA County." - Mona Holmes
