Tesla Opened A Diner In LA — Here’s What It’s Like

I would hate to live in those apartments next door.

The food looks good. However with the location being so far off the main freeways I don't see us ever stopping at this charging location when driving North from San Diego.

If the one I can see is playing TNG 24/7 I might allow it. It's just an odd location to pick in the middle of Hollywood. I'd have plopped a 70s retro themed diner at one of the highway locations that sees moderate charging use. If I'm in LA there is a zero percent chance I'd go here (absent my feelings about Musk) because I'm in LA and there are so many superior food options to choose from. Like am I gonna have dinner here or scoot down Highland to Petit Trois? Number two obviously.

I want to go back to the shitty woke place it was before!
While I understand that it is important to not completely give up a communication space used by many, it seems insane that many people (eg, reporters, pundits...) continue to actively hang out in the Nazi Bar, slowly cooking their brains on an algorithm tilted to deliver right-wing slop, racism, and fascism.

The board gave him another $30B in stock because they have no choice. If he left the company it would suddenly be valued at actual revenue and prospects which would be financially disastrous.

LOL, Musk single-handedly helped elect and empower the man responsible for eliminating the $7500 tax credit that fueled Tesla’s growth, and is also responsible for wiping out untold millions in brand value over the past 7 months, so naturally he’s being punished with $29 billion in shares vs. the $50 billion they originally planned to give him!

I love capitalism.

Just one more reason to avoid Tesla. Doing shady shit with crash data to keep authorities from accessing it and assessing how much Tesla could be at fault.

For Vegas, it's more like an additional attraction, like riding Space Mountain at Disney. It was never going to be serious public transit.

Basically. That it is not actually public transit in any real way is one reason it could even be built. That town will never do anything meaningful to displace the huge number of drivers needed to shuttle people up and down the strip, to/from the convention center, and to the airport in near gridlock. Hated every convention I had to attend at that convention center.

Any other sane municipality would have run high capacity automated metro rail under Las Vegas Blvd from downtown to the airport.
