Is Elon Musk getting into the restaurant business? According to Musk himself, he has plans to create old-school drive-in experiences at Supercharger locations. While many thought Musk was just joking around, a few trademarks filed under Tesla point to Musk being serious.
Listen as restaurateur Philip Camino and chef Nyesha Arrington take a look at Musk’s plans, Tesla’s recent trademark and permit applications, and how a drive-in restaurant makes a little too much sense in this case.
Listen to Philip and Nyesha discuss Tesla:
Elon Musk is the CEO of Tesla
In 2018, Musk tweeted he plans to create an “old-school drive-in” at a new Tesla Supercharger locations in Los Angeles
While some thought Musk might have been joking, Tesla applied for permits to build a restaurant and supercharger station in Santa Monica
The project seemed to take a backseat over the last few years until Musk tweeted about the subject again in April 2021
At the beginning of June, Tesla applied for three trademarks in the “restaurant services,” “pop-up restaurant services,” “self-service restaurant services,” and “take-out restaurant services”
