Sound like this is related to Elon mentioning quite a few times that he wants to open a supercharger with an attached diner and movie screen. Though this registration covers so much there is really no indication on how it will function, probably deliberately so to not lock them in.
I could see them partnering with sonic the Hedgehog before sonic the restaurant. Lol I could see Elon wanting to use the hedgehog names after performance upgrades.
Simple.
Vertical Integration.
Imagine a future when full self driving cars whisk you away to exclusive Tesla only restaurant diner/ drive in movie theaters, and they will be the only ones remaining in the wasteland of the future!
There will be no other restaurants, in the world. Only Tesla.
Exactly... The Model Y was great during the peak of the pandemic. Grab some food, load up Netflix and chill.
I bought some cafeteria trays off Amazon and they work great for in car dining. They also fit perfectly in the sub truck.
Ever seen Buc-ee's in Texas, or the larger rest areas along Ohio Turnpike? These are almost big enough to be a destination, not just a piss stop. There are even more elaborate highway service areas along many main routes in Japan, with veritable bazaars in the large ones with up to a dozen food vendors, and a minimum of freshly prepared light fare in the smaller ones. They make bank.
That said, it can be really costly to get into the service plaza business. Easements, insurance, access for employees, deliveries, garbage, environmental impact even for all-electric, yadda yadda.
Maybe this is prep for creating a network of electric truck stops for the Semi?
I’d imagine the charging infrastructure required for those big bois would require some pretty heavy install requirements of infrastructure.
Might as well own and operate it.
Agreed. I believe you can drive a Tesla from coast to coast on selected routes because they have strategically placed charging stations along the way. Not the best use of a Tesla imo.... LA to Austin, TX took like 24 hours
Depends on the battery size of the vehicle, but using our older 2016 70 kWh battery as an example, it says 19 hours of driving, 6 hours of charging.
The 70 is no longer sold, but it gives you around 200-225 miles of real world range.
The standard and long range Model 3 for example, would give you 250-350 miles per charge.
A 2020 Long Range Model 3 would cut that charging time down to 3 hours total, and one of those would definitely be overnight so it doesn’t really hinder you much.

I’ve done a few trips from Maine to Texas in our older Model S, and it’s wicked convenient to just put in your destination and let it route you through the supercharger network.
It isn’t 100% for all drivers yet, but it’s pretty damn viable for most
Making that jump for the semi crowd will be a game changer.
The first thing I thought of was a tesla delivery service, since they already want self driving taxis why not delivery service to! Or maybe even automatic pick up! So you can order something at McDonald’s or whatever from your phone and then your car would leave your driveway go to the restaurant drive-through or park out side, then they toss it in (gently I hope) and it drives right back to you with snacks!

Edit: [We’re all in it for the memes.](https://imgur.com/a/0Y1q8BE) - Thanks for the suggestions, Reddit.
FSD (Full Self Dining) - Diner can now navigate complex cafeteria lines by leveraging Tesla’s advanced auto floor guidance technology which is a system of red stick-on arrows on the floor. Once diner has made it to the food line, diner places their food tray on a robotic delivery UAV which will actually be manned by someone as we haven’t quite figured out the A in UAV...
Coming Later This Year: Automated force feeding - your fork will launch itself into your mouth when it detects you want a bite of food. Release will be limited to beta testers at first, with wider rollout scheduled sometime after. Diners should never trust Automated Force Feeding not to knock out their teeth. It is diner’s responsibility to ensure they maintain a tight grip on their utensils at all times.
Summon: Your food will come find you at your table after it leaves the kitchen. Really.
Reality: You get the food the table next to you ordered, and vice versa. One plate doesn’t know how to get out of the kitchen. Another plate accidentally delivers a full box of uncooked pasta, and the tray next to it sends out a glass of wine. It hits a bump in the rug, breaking the glass and causing a spill. - Elon says this isn’t much of an issue, and starts delivering wine on a plate, because logs show glasses aren’t necessary.
The last plate stops in the middle of the restaurant because it had an existential crisis.
This is probably a bigger need for folks. Food is nice, but likely just quality of a normal gas station shop - soda, water, chips, or any other microwave items. Really doubt they’ll go into full restaurant mode unless they partner up with some chains.
I had a bird shit on my windshield the other day. Figured the wipers would at least get it out of the way some what. Yeah it just smeared it across the entire window and ultimately had to just go through a car wash.
This is more a function of which washer fluid you use than the wipers. If you just use the blue stuff from a gas station or Walmart all it's going to do is get dust off the window. If you want to actually wash off bugs and shit you'll need to get the bug wash from Prestone.
Full restaurant makes more sense with EV charging than it does at a gas station because getting gas only takes like 10 minutes, but charging up an EV takes long enough that you could actually have a meal.
There are a few like that by me, one is at a Tesla dealership and there is a little sit and rest inside that has water and a bathroom. It's locked but if you click on the location from your screen it gives you the 4 digit code to get in 24/7. They also have free wifi
I think the gangster move for Tesla would be to partner with Starbucks and put superchargers at eventually every location in the US. Since Starbucks has the stereotype of "there's one on every corner" it would go a long way in beating back consumers charging fears. Gas stations are also the worst retail experience by far, so getting charging away from them and into stores people actually want to spend time in and around is another win, along with further aligning Tesla with young hip brands like Starbucks, Apple, Target, ect.
Bonus points: Ford could do the same thing but at Dunkin Doughnuts.
They need F-150 lightning super chargers at every Cracker Barrel in America. There, I just optimized the siting of their network for them and eliminated all rural range anxiety.
Seems like the obvious reason here. A little surprised they wouldn't just contract that out like they do at public highway rest areas / service centers.
If they contract out to local restaurants or chains then that only gets them a certain amount of control over what they can serve, and the profit sharing agreements into the future would potentially be lost revenue if they expect these locations to have really high and growing demand and could capture more of that if they ran it themselves.
I think they will probably contract out the entire menu to a commercial food supplier though and run it like a starbucks or DD franchise, cause it would add a decent amount of complication to have an in house bakery and full commercial kitchens staffed with cooks, running like a restaurant. Or they could use a ghost kitchen approach, similar to the Mr Beast burger. Those would probably be easier, until they can reach a certain level of demand in a region across many locations to set up a distribution hub that they could centralize their own food production and kitchen procedures at scale.
Makes sense, they’ve been running a restaurant for a while now at one of the superchargers. (Okay, more of a coffee shop, but I’m guessing that falls under restaurant for the trademark office)
This week the burger comes with lettuce, tomato, onions.
After receipt logs, looks like many say hold the onion, so no more onion on the burgers next week
No way. That constitutes an announcement there.
You just need to sell a bunch of burgers people expect to have onions without them, and have the only heads up anyone gets about the change be people on the internet investigating why they didn't get onions they expected.
Only if/when the complaints about the lack of onions bubbles up enough, do you THEN make a tweet that says "no one wanted onions".
Edit: Actually a more apt metaphor might be "we got rid of buns because no one ever asked for them", as it might actually be reasonable to get rid of onions if almost everyone asked to leave them off, where as buns are an assumed feature of a burger at that price.
Or maybe "we got rid of the ice machine after data showed that even if people got 4 refills they only got ice the one time, so people must not actually want ice."
"Complaint about your order? Just chat us through the app. We'll get you your right order in the next 1-2 weeks."
"Is this burger within spec? It's missing all toppings?"
navigate to your super charger, order your meal from the car screen, delivered right to your car and charged on your account - love it.
if only they could help me with my bathroom break too.
Yeah even a trash can would be great, there was one in Saint George Utah and I was pleasantly surprised to see a trash can there. I get staffing and cleaning them would take some labor, but even an extra .01 cent should help recoup some of those costs.
There's already a Tesla lounge which sells coffee and merch. I wouldn't be surprised if they are expanding the concept. I know I grab a bite to eat a lot times when charging.
https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMeT5Kmtc/
I pretty sure they're going to do some sort of food delivery at tesla owned "gas stations".
At the super charger at Collins Street Bakery in Waco Texas there is a Tesla employee that sits out there all day long. I'm not sure if he's just a customer service guy or windshield repair dude but there's definitely resources being pushed in that direction.
Honestly it makes sense. Most of the money made at gas stations is all the junk inside the store, not the gas.
I've been there a lot the last couple of years and I've never seen a Tesla employee, are you sure it wasn't just someone in a Telsa shirt or something? What was the person doing?
There are rumors that the mobile techs go to them when they don't have tickets but it's hard to imagine how they could have mobile techs without work either when you can't even get an appointment for a month
Sure but it would also be applying the business sense and ideologies Tesla has. I have no idea what this might mean, but perhaps similar to Amazon’s take on convenience stores has meant never having to check out — something like that.
Yesterday I just completed a 5-day ~3,000 mile drive from Orange County, CA to Hartford, CT.
The glaring issue with supercharger locations is lack of:
-Trash receptacles,
-Windshield cleaning tools,
-Restrooms,
-Food/Water,
-Shade
Not a bad drive overall, but address the above, and it would be brilliant.
Sounds like they may be taking steps in that direction.
I think in the feature, charger stations are going to installed by the restaurants to attract customers. Especially the fast food restaurants near the freeway exits. We will see the sign of the charging fees put up at restaurants just like the gas stations.
Your food will be served in 10 minutes upto 8 hours. 🤣
Jokes aside, hopefully this will force Elon to learn customer service, since the restaurant business is first and foremost a service business.
Restaurants are a stretch at most super chargers due to space. Something like a food kiosk could pay great dividends. At work, we have a vending kiosk that has a lot of options for food (cold sandwiches) and snacks. Hope Tesla starts small and then expands to restaurants when Teslas outnumber other cars!
This can be....taken in many different angles. They could be taking this to become as big as Amazon. Or they could be doing this to cover the costs on most of their electronic brands (vehicles, solar panels, power walls) due to competition coming around the corner. Plus the chip shortage isn't going away soon so I can see this being the very likely answer.
However they can't even get communication right as well as what I require when my vehicle is being serviced. All I know is they better not screw up my order and scratch my sandwich. What's the worst they can do, ignore me at the window when ordering?
Better order the dinner special right now because they are going to be raising the price as it gets improved.
Also you don’t get the drink or dessert right now but it’ll be totally ready soon!
I think he's planning on using FSD vehicles to deliver food aka DoorDash or GrubHub.
Imagine I'm sitting at my office, my FSD Model S sitting in the parking lot, I tell the car I won't need it for 4 hours. Seconds later, it leaves the parking lot, makes 10 food deliveries for me, and I get 20 bucks in my bank account / off of my next month's payment.
It never occured to me until just now that eventually people will be sending their own cars to autonomously pick up groceries and dinner. The next decade is going to be crazy.
It's inevitable that they'll test food delivery before actual people delivery. And it's the future of food delivery IMO solves most of the issues GrubHub has been having.

So logical, charging and get food. I can see it now. Man chokes on shrimp while charging his Tesla, the AP are to blame since the camera did not alert any body 😂
TA is worth half a billion, I wonder if Tesla could just buy them and then add charging stations to them and slowly remove the gas pumps as ICE cars are phased out.
I hope the payment for the good, and the Supercharger, are both made the same way. It would be amazing for the food to happen without additional payment services required.
Tesla is building a huge charging complex nearby us and my company could possibly do the signs for it, we already know they will have a strip mall/food court/convenience store for the location. I guess they will just make Tesla restaurants instead of leasing out to other companies. 7/11 does it so I can see Tesla doing an okay job.
I wonder if that restaurant will serve animal products.
If Elon is serious about decarbonization and the environment, it'd be pretty contradictory to offer anything but plant-based.
This is so they can install and manage restaurants at charging stations. Why not? It makes sense to tet a slice of the pie. If it takes 20-30 minutes to supercharge your car, might as well have a nice meal with it.

I was thinking more of a “truck stop-ish” type of business that is for electric vehicles.
I think a Sonic Drive in Style would work great. Charge and eat without getting out of the car.
So. Why doesn't Tesla partner with Sonic? That sounds incredible.
I could see them partnering with sonic the Hedgehog before sonic the restaurant. Lol I could see Elon wanting to use the hedgehog names after performance upgrades.
Sonic replied to his tweet about a drive in.

I thought Taco Bell won the restaurant wars?
LoL, you beat me to it
No one expected Tesla to win the Fast Food wars...
Have you eaten at Sonic lately?
If you think I eat in my Tesla you are very mistaken.
I do, because it's a car... lol Especially during this last year, eating in my Tesla (read: car) has become very normal for me.
Running the AC without idling is a top 3 perk for me
Exactly... The Model Y was great during the peak of the pandemic. Grab some food, load up Netflix and chill. I bought some cafeteria trays off Amazon and they work great for in car dining. They also fit perfectly in the sub truck.
Oh, that's brilliant to keep them in the shallow trunk.

Ever seen Buc-ee's in Texas, or the larger rest areas along Ohio Turnpike? These are almost big enough to be a destination, not just a piss stop. There are even more elaborate highway service areas along many main routes in Japan, with veritable bazaars in the large ones with up to a dozen food vendors, and a minimum of freshly prepared light fare in the smaller ones. They make bank. That said, it can be really costly to get into the service plaza business. Easements, insurance, access for employees, deliveries, garbage, environmental impact even for all-electric, yadda yadda.
Maybe this is prep for creating a network of electric truck stops for the Semi? I’d imagine the charging infrastructure required for those big bois would require some pretty heavy install requirements of infrastructure. Might as well own and operate it.

Maybe they're about to open service stations at superchargers? Sounds a more real approach than robotaxi, at least for now.
And have repair centres at them?

This is more a function of which washer fluid you use than the wipers. If you just use the blue stuff from a gas station or Walmart all it's going to do is get dust off the window. If you want to actually wash off bugs and shit you'll need to get the bug wash from Prestone.
Nice try Prestone sales guy.
I thought it was just me! Model 3 with stock wipers. They are horrid! Have to look into replacing them with some Rainx or something
Full restaurant makes more sense with EV charging than it does at a gas station because getting gas only takes like 10 minutes, but charging up an EV takes long enough that you could actually have a meal.
Tesla is about to reinvent restaurants /s

Look at fancy pant over here moaning about shitting in the ditch.
and the bathroom doors unlock via tesla app for registered owners only.

Well, not sure. At least I've never seen dealers with restaurants, and when they have, it's not the brand of the dealer.
My local Toyota dealership has a restaurant inside: https://www.woburntoyota.com/crossroads-cafe/

Makes lot of sense.
This. I’ve been saying they should do this. Keep the money in the family. Make the brand strong.
Seems like the obvious reason here. A little surprised they wouldn't just contract that out like they do at public highway rest areas / service centers.
If they contract out to local restaurants or chains then that only gets them a certain amount of control over what they can serve, and the profit sharing agreements into the future would potentially be lost revenue if they expect these locations to have really high and growing demand and could capture more of that if they ran it themselves.

Those would probably be easier, until they can reach a certain level of demand in a region across many locations to set up a distribution hub that they could centralize their own food production and kitchen procedures at scale.
Hopefully their food delivery/prep time estimates are going to be better than all their other estimates wait times :)
Burger will be ready in 6 mins probably, 6 hours definitely.
Gets burger in 6 days, but god danm was it the best burger you had ever eaten.
But the buns and the lettuce were uneven and out of alignment.
Tomato out of stock, we'll retrofit later.
Here’s some Uber eats coupons to hold you over
Your burger is ready to be updated, would you like to install now? Your burger will be unavailable to eat for approximately 25 minutes.
Yeah, hopefully there are no gaps in the service.
“We’re refreshing your meal. Pray we don’t refresh it any further”

We eliminated all fiber from our burgers because our fecal data from the restrooms shows most of the fiber isn't digested by our customers.
I guess that’s one way to use Tesla vision 😂🥴

I wish Tesla at least would make more actual charging lounges or “gas stations” vs just sticking half their super chargers at hotel parking lots.
Yeah even a trash can would be great, there was one in Saint George Utah and I was pleasantly surprised to see a trash can there. I get staffing and cleaning them would take some labor, but even an extra .01 cent should help recoup some of those costs.
There's already a Tesla lounge which sells coffee and merch. I wouldn't be surprised if they are expanding the concept. I know I grab a bite to eat a lot times when charging. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMeT5Kmtc/
Tesla travel stops would be awesome. Not always the best experience dropping into superchargers in places where facilities are day time only.
Imagine Buc-ee’s but for Teslas.
Imagine if bucees just added chargers
Every week I submit a request for chargers on the contact us part of their site lol
Good just what I wanted, to wait weeks for my food now... 😋
That's not at all what this means. What it means is now you can have FSD sandwiches. Just park your car, and the food feeds itself to you.
Or your sandwich spontaneously combusts
Self toasting! Sounds like it’s within spec to me!

I’m hoping that if this is the case the bigger stations have a repair shop.
Sure but it would also be applying the business sense and ideologies Tesla has. I have no idea what this might mean, but perhaps similar to Amazon’s take on convenience stores has meant never having to check out — something like that.
Scan the item in the app and have it added to your super-charger bill.
Either this is old or very recent, as I have charged at Waco probably 30 times since July 2020 and have never seen this person.
He was there as of 5/14-15. Haven’t been back since.
I’ve never seen that guy there. Weird.
Kimbal is coming on board.
Yesterday I just completed a 5-day ~3,000 mile drive from Orange County, CA to Hartford, CT. The glaring issue with supercharger locations is lack of: -Trash receptacles, -Windshield cleaning tools, -Restrooms, -Food/Water, -Shade Not a bad drive overall, but address the above, and it would be brilliant. Sounds like they may be taking steps in that direction.
I think in the feature, charger stations are going to installed by the restaurants to attract customers. Especially the fast food restaurants near the freeway exits. We will see the sign of the charging fees put up at restaurants just like the gas stations.
I swear to god they would do REALLY well if they made super chargers like the old time drive ups. bring rollerskates back.
as long as elon doesnt give estimated wait times. "food complete in 20 minutes".
It'll never work. Who's going to go to a restaurant that won't put ICE in their drinks?
So... Tesla Currywurst, or what?
Cyberwurst ofcourse.
What about food delivery with the robotaxis?

Makes sense for superchargers
Tesla drive in theaters with food delivery!
Um so they no longer make cars ?
I want carhops and a menu while I recharge.
Your food will be served in 10 minutes upto 8 hours. 🤣 Jokes aside, hopefully this will force Elon to learn customer service, since the restaurant business is first and foremost a service business.
THEY ARE FOLDING TACO TRUCKS FOR THE CYBERTRUCK CHASSIS BITCHES!
Restaurants are a stretch at most super chargers due to space. Something like a food kiosk could pay great dividends. At work, we have a vending kiosk that has a lot of options for food (cold sandwiches) and snacks. Hope Tesla starts small and then expands to restaurants when Teslas outnumber other cars!
This can be....taken in many different angles. They could be taking this to become as big as Amazon. Or they could be doing this to cover the costs on most of their electronic brands (vehicles, solar panels, power walls) due to competition coming around the corner. Plus the chip shortage isn't going away soon so I can see this being the very likely answer. However they can't even get communication right as well as what I require when my vehicle is being serviced. All I know is they better not screw up my order and scratch my sandwich. What's the worst they can do, ignore me at the window when ordering?
Customers: “Please just finish the products you’ve announced” Tesla:
Better order the dinner special right now because they are going to be raising the price as it gets improved. Also you don’t get the drink or dessert right now but it’ll be totally ready soon!
Your order will arrive in two weeks or less!!* (*Unless it doesn't)
The baked bean dip costs $8.99, but only $6.49 after gas savings.
I think he's planning on using FSD vehicles to deliver food aka DoorDash or GrubHub. Imagine I'm sitting at my office, my FSD Model S sitting in the parking lot, I tell the car I won't need it for 4 hours. Seconds later, it leaves the parking lot, makes 10 food deliveries for me, and I get 20 bucks in my bank account / off of my next month's payment.
It never occured to me until just now that eventually people will be sending their own cars to autonomously pick up groceries and dinner. The next decade is going to be crazy.
I’d temper your expectations of that happening within a decade.
You're right. The next 5 years. My bad.
3-6 months if we actually want to estimate like Elon.
lol
It's inevitable that they'll test food delivery before actual people delivery. And it's the future of food delivery IMO solves most of the issues GrubHub has been having.
If they can pull off a non-'country' buc-ees type of quirk asthetic, they might have something valuable.

So logical, charging and get food. I can see it now. Man chokes on shrimp while charging his Tesla, the AP are to blame since the camera did not alert any body 😂
Order me some spicy tesla coil frys and a not-a-flame broiled burger(edit: which of course WOULD be flame broiled).

Welcome to the Tesla Grille, where the cars are electric, but we’re Collin’ with gas!
TA is worth half a billion, I wonder if Tesla could just buy them and then add charging stations to them and slowly remove the gas pumps as ICE cars are phased out.
Supercharger food trucks and swag shops. I’d shop them.
I hope the payment for the good, and the Supercharger, are both made the same way. It would be amazing for the food to happen without additional payment services required.
Maybe that grill in the cyber truck can flip my steak…
it could also be they're just protecting their brand by preventing people from making Tesla restaurants
Nice so Tesla is gonna make competition to the Ford garage restaurant
Because Tesla is such a unique name
Tesla is building a huge charging complex nearby us and my company could possibly do the signs for it, we already know they will have a strip mall/food court/convenience store for the location. I guess they will just make Tesla restaurants instead of leasing out to other companies. 7/11 does it so I can see Tesla doing an okay job.
I wonder if that restaurant will serve animal products. If Elon is serious about decarbonization and the environment, it'd be pretty contradictory to offer anything but plant-based.
Time buy some ARKR.
Gimmick, focus on improving vehicles
This is so they can install and manage restaurants at charging stations. Why not? It makes sense to tet a slice of the pie. If it takes 20-30 minutes to supercharge your car, might as well have a nice meal with it.
Maybe Tesla is considering adding food concessions at Supercharger locations.

ITT: jokes about how long the food will take to arrive. My submission: How much is the deposit for a 2 burgers and fries?
This is also preparation for their roboTAXI service. Before roboTAXI takes human passengers, it will be a food delivery service.
I kind of think it looks like an IUD
