Elon Musk has turned a sci-fi dream into reality with the grand opening of Tesla's first retro-futuristic diner in Hollywood, California. Nestled on Santa Monica Boulevard along the iconic Route 66, the all-new Tesla Diner blends classic Americana with futuristic tech offering a unique experience where you can charge your EV, grab a bite, shop for exclusive merch, and catch a movie, all under one roof.
More than just a supercharging station, the Tesla Diner is a full-fledged 24/7 American-style eatery with a nostalgic twist. Featuring 32 fast-charging stations, balcony dining, and two massive 45-foot LED mega-screens, the two-story venue reimagines the classic drive-in for the modern age.

The upper-level Skypad offers panoramic views of Hollywood and movie screenings you can enjoy either from your table or directly from your Tesla's cabin using the Tesla Diner app. Guests can place food orders through their car's touchscreen or dine inside for the full retro-futuristic vibe.
The menu draws inspiration from American diner staples like juicy burgers, crispy fries and all are priced affordably between $4 and $15.
Tesla has also launched an exclusive themed merchandise at the location, including:
Elon Musk first teased the concept back in 2018, describing it as 'an old-school drive-in with roller skates, rock music, and a Supercharger.' Years later, his 'Grease meets The Jetsons' vision has taken shape, and the result is one of the coolest new hangouts in LA.
Musk recently visited the site himself, posting on X, 'I just had dinner at the retro-futuristic Tesla Diner and Supercharger. Team did great work making it one of the coolest spots in LA!'
Musk isn't stopping at just one. Sharing a video of the diner, he hinted at global expansion: 'If our retro-futuristic diner turns out well, which I think it will, Tesla will establish these in major cities around the world, as well as at Supercharger sites on long-distance routes. An island of good food, good vibes & entertainment — all while Supercharging!'
Construction for the Hollywood diner began in September 2023, and it's already become a buzzing attraction for Tesla owners, tourists, and food lovers alike.

GTA 6 could support 60 fps gameplay, but only on Sony PS5 Pro: Details here

More than a year ahead of its expected launch, Grand Theft Auto VI or GTA 6 continues to generate momentum online – not just for its dual protagonists or expansive open world, but now for its potential performance benchmarks on consoles. A new video shared online has sparked fresh speculation about GTA 6 supporting 60 frames-per-second (fps) gameplay on select consoles. GTA 6 60 FPS support tied to PS5 Pro? According to a report by GizmoChina, an X (formerly Twitter) user named Detective Seeds shared that GTA 6 may run at 60 fps on the PlayStation 5 Pro. The said user claimed that Rockstar Games is working with Sony to optimise the title for the PS5 Pro, enabling higher performance across multiple graphic settings. If accurate, this would be a major shift from American video game publisher Rockstar Games' typical console strategy. Both GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 launched with a 30 fps cap on consoles, with 60 fps support arriving later and only for PC. The current-gen PS5 and Xbox Series X are expected to offer the standard 30 fps experience, while smoother gameplay could be exclusive to the PS5 Pro when GTA 6 releases, reportedly in May 2026. Why does it matter Sony appears to be positioning the PS5 Pro as a high-performance option, similar to Microsoft's approach with games like Forza Horizon 5, where players can toggle between quality and performance modes. If GTA 6 does ship with a 60 fps option on PS5 Pro, it would give Sony a notable edge — especially among players who prioritise frame rates. For now, Rockstar Games and Sony have not issued any official confirmation about the game's performance targets or PS5 Pro enhancements. As such, the details remain speculative based on visuals and commentary currently circulating on the web. Notably, as per Rockstar Games, GTA 6 is set to release on May 26, 2026.

Tesla Finally Lands in India: Is It Too Late?

Back in 2016, Tesla began taking preorders from Indian customers with no timeline for delivery. Now, nine years later, it's officially arrived — but much has changed. The Indian EV space is more competitive, homegrown players like Tata and global brands like BYD have made inroads and import duties remain steep. And in the premium segment that Tesla is targeting, it's not the first mover. German brands like Mercedes, BMW and Audi have been here for years. What took Tesla so long? Why did early adopters like Vishal Gondal cancel their bookings? And is India ready — in terms of infrastructure, pricing and policy — for what Tesla offers? Guest: Vishal Gondal, tech entrepreneur and early Tesla hopeful Host: Anupama Chandrasekaran Produced and edited by Sharmada Venkatasubramanian Listen to more In Focus podcasts:
