According to an application filed on May 19, Shakey's Pizza, located at 7001 West Santa Monica Boulevard, will be demolished to clear space for the construction of Tesla's new 9,300 square-foot project. The filing was first spotted by Electrek.
The diner will consist of an approximately 3,800-square-foot enclosed lower level and a 5,500-square-foot outdoor seating and enclosed food preparation area. The parking lot will have 34 charging stations, including 29 superchargers and five Level 2 chargers.

Musk first teased plans in 2018 to put an "old school drive-in, roller skates and rock restaurant at one of the new Tesla Supercharger locations in LA." At the time, Musk said there would be an outdoor screen that "plays a highlight reel of the best scenes in movie history" and a touchscreen menu to order food.
In May 2021, Tesla filed an application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to trademark its "T" logo for "restaurant services, pop-up restaurant services, self-service restaurant services and takeout restaurant services."
In February, Musk said that a "futuristic diner/drive-in theater" was planned for the Hollywood area.
