Elon Musk's Tesla diner is as ugly assed as his cybertruck



Tesla’s foray into the restaurant business is starting to mirror its vehicle selection.

Less than three weeks after opening, the charging station/restaurant has drastically scaled back its menu, removing several offerings. As of Aug. 5, reports Eater, there were just five sandwiches left on the menu, the same number of vehicles the company sells.

The number of sides has been similarly reduced to two, along with two flavors of pie, all of which are available to order from Tesla’s in-car infotainment system.

Elon Musk has envisioned the Tesla Diner as something that could expand nationwide.

Musk is getting high on the smell of his own farts.

Sort of a Jetson's diner vibe. Could be cool.
But all vibe in the world can't overcome not having decent food at the right price point.
And from what I understand, very little money went into maintaining a quality menu after the opening.
And that " Movie screen" monstrosity in the parking lot is apparently another huge ill-considered turnoff

But I don’t care for Tesla or to support Musk. I think he will build a few of these for vanity only.

route 66 type kitschy sort of restaurant.
Apparently the food is OK, but there are better places to eat at out there.

to the concept of "diner" which is to reflect the look of a railroad dining car.
I'm a a traditionalist at heart. The Musk concept if more like a flying saucer.

I'm in NJ - the State that has the most diners, if that gives me any more cred regarding this. :shrug
