Back in September , Teslaannouncedit was planning to create upscale convenience stores for its supercharger stations around the country . It was all moderately vague , but this weekend , Elon Musk got a little more specific . Specifically , he ’s thinking there should be crimper skates while you charge .
Tesla ’s main technology officer J.B. Straubel told attendee at theFSTECrestaurant conference a few months ago that , “ People are come and spending 20 to 30 minutes , ” at the charger stations . “ They need to eat , they desire to have a cup of coffee , and they want to apply the privy . ”Reportsfrom the conference say Straubel showed off some innovation that look like a convenience depot . He told attendees that Tesla has “ already been working with eatery , ” on the concept .
But according to Musk ’s tweet this weekend , the first location to dilate on Tesla ’s slightly eerie commove full stop is go to have a set more give way on than micro-cook burritos and big swig .
Gon na put an old school driving force - in , roller skate & rock restaurant at one of the novel Tesla Supercharger locations in LA

But he was n’t stopping there . respond to a commenter who asked that there be popcorn available , he aver , “ Of of course . And an outdoor projection screen that plays a highlight spool of the best scenes in movie story . ” When another reply came in suggesting that Tesla driver be capable to order from a Tesla touchscreen , Musk respond , “ Good estimate . We can just have the carte du jour come out up as presently as you put the car into park . ”
Yes , it sounds like Musk is being a piffling too eager to please and just throw away ideas at the paries . But , if theBoring Companyhas teach us anything , the guy rope tends to follow through on ridiculous mind . There ’s something strangely appropriate about a retro - hereafter thrust - in with roller skating where you would charge up your electric motorcar . And if he went all - out with an genuine tumbler skating skating rink , that ’d be kind of ill , but he likely just means that wait staff would be on skates .
Would there be any money in it ? peradventure in LA . I ca n’t see this being Tesla ’s big design for overhauling its supercharger stations around the whole of the US . The publicity of Elon Musk hauling around on tumbler pigeon skates delivering nutrient to Teslas would probably be well worth it . I ’m still not completely sure what a “ rock eating place , ” is but I ’m guessing it ’s like aSonic . We ’ve reach out to Tesla for elucidation and to ask if it has any further details to partake in . We ’ll update this post when we experience a reply .
