the more clever move, from a business and marketing standpoint, would be to cross-promote & partner with an existing chain of diner-type fast casual places like sonic or whatever and have fast chargers installed there to connect the brands in Tesla drivers' minds that they can get "recharge" at that place. especially a place that has a big national footprint, but maybe isn't "premium" to cast a wide net across demographics.
because a car manufacturer having a one-off diner is fucking stupid as shit. let me get a Chevy Hamburger with a Corvette Chocolate Shake.
I don't like to give credit to Tesla, but in Texas partnering with Buc-ee's was one of the smartest things they did.
They leveraged an existing business with strategic locations across well-traveled areas, already known as a safe and clean rest stop with palatable food, a place where you would stop to refill your ICE car on road trips, And for a very small investment were able to increase their charging footprint dramatically. Of course, Elon fired the executive that penned that deal.
I think it makes sense from the angle of Musk wanting attention and people mindlessly praising him and his "brilliant decisions." A savvy marketing trick where he pairs up with another company means he has to share the glory, but a restaurant for his hardcore fans means everyone involved is going to just be saying how great and brilliant it all is, right up until the place goes bankrupt 6 months from now. I don't think Musk is capable of making a proper business decision at this point, he's too surrounded by Yes-men.
Additionally, this could also be a kind of attempt at a sort of soft cult building thing or future planning for the collapse of the US. Where he tries to make his biggest fans wholly reliant on his "brand" for everything in their lives, if so, we'll probably see a Tesla/"X" branded streaming service, news and basically anything else in order for him to eventually try and carve out a little fiefdom of loyal subjects for when the US collapses into Warlordism. That would require a lot of forethought from him though. It's probably more likely that he just thought he was great and amazing and could make the world's greatest restaurant despite probably not even knowing how to boil water.
Thats 5 strips of bacon. This is literally the most obvious way to fake the image.
12 fucking dollars for 4 small pieces of meat 
Wouldn't: Eat at the Tesla Diner
Would: Prob. eat that anywhere else ngl
The worst part of this isn't even le freaking Epic Bacon, it's that this guy (RealKeatonHobby? Wow, I can't believe it's actually the Keaton Hobby!) thinks it looks amazing 
If this doesn't make you go vegan, you are doomed.
Also, dip?
They give you dipping tobacco because a nutritionless carcinogenic is healthier than anything on the menu.
