Tesla says its Los Angeles Diner and Supercharger site delivered more electricity than any other Supercharger location worldwide during its first year, while averaging 1,600 charging sessions per day.
The combined restaurant and charging station opened one year before the figures were announced. The results were shared by Max de Zegher, Tesla's senior director of charging, in a July 21, 2026 post marking the site's first year of operation. He described the Diner as Tesla's highest-usage Supercharger in the world and said it led the company's stations by energy delivered.
According to de Zegher, the site supplied 21.2 GWh of electricity during its first year. The Diner has 80 charging stalls, and its reported average of 1,600 daily sessions indicates that the location continued attracting charging traffic after the initial attention surrounding its opening. De Zegher also linked the figures to a ranking of Tesla's top 10 Superchargers by energy delivered.
The source compared the annual energy total with the electricity needed to operate 1,964 average American homes for one year. That comparison was presented to illustrate the scale of the charging activity recorded at the single Los Angeles location, rather than as a separate measure of station capacity.
The site combines Supercharger access with a full restaurant serving classic American diner food including burgers, fries and milkshakes. Customers can place orders through a Tesla vehicle's infotainment screen while the vehicle is stopped, and the order can then be brought to the car during the charging session.
Other on-site facilities identified in the source include bathrooms, coffee and Tesla-themed snacks. The format allows drivers to eat, use the facilities or remain in their vehicles while charging. It differs from charging sites described in the article as being located in parking areas with few additional services or activities.
The Tesla Diner also operates as a drive-up movie theater. Two 66-foot LED screens show films that can be viewed from the building's balcony or from a vehicle. When customers watch from their cars, the Tesla Diner app sends the movie audio through the vehicle's speakers, following the format of a traditional drive-up theater.
Movie sessions are listed in the car's app, allowing drivers to see what is scheduled and coordinate a charging visit with a screening. The theater function extends the site's restaurant-and-charging setup by adding another activity designed around the time a vehicle remains connected to a charger.
The source also noted that Elon Musk said in April that more Tesla Diners were planned. No opening schedule or additional locations were provided, leaving the Los Angeles site as the only location identified in the article. The next step will depend on Tesla announcing where and when any further Diner and Supercharger sites will open.
