Doesn't an overpriced bad menu defeat the purpose of bringing in a bunch of people to see your robot bar tenders and other fancy tech?

Its the epic bacon for me

Clearly you've never tried the "Epic Bacon"

With or without “electric sauce”?

OMG lol, didnt even see that

I will bet you ten bucks that "electric sauce" is everyone else's "special sauce," i.e., ketchup mixed with mayo.

Or it’s a thickened 1000 Islands sauce with some extra minced white onion.

Can't wait to stop by there for coffee.

Their product “photography” is awful.

Is that the illustration in their online menu? 🤢

Indeed! www.tesla.com/diner-webapp...

Imagine how racist and anti-Semitic you have to be to choose this over either Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles or Cantler's Deli, both of which are less than 10 minutes away.

Guess they are discouraging children

Snap-o-razzo hotdogs are legit but I only know that because I bought a pack of 4 for like $5 on sale at Kroger

Disappointing lack of terrible novelty names for the food, but on balance probably for the best.

Imagine the fucking nerd incel quotient at this place?? I wouldn’t be caught dead near it. *Unless I had a flame thrower

he did jokingly sell a flamethrower at one point didn't he

that menu really manages to capture the utter vacuity that is Elon

But it’s futuristic!

So… The two organic free range scrambled eggs are not totally free range or scrambled yet? That is a future capability? And what is a free range egg? Was the chicken free range or did it just lay the egg in a field?

Lol, that menu VS the article «Chait recalls Musk visiting the restaurant last week and telling the team that if a dish wasn’t “epic,” it shouldn’t be on the menu.» It's either just a glorified plain fast food or my very very low opinion on US food reputation is way higher than its actual level.

I zoomed in on this and the first words I saw were “Wagyu beef chili” and if that isn’t the Tesla experience right there

Why would they do that to wagyu

Same reason they serve a side of “Epic Bacon”, they saw something about it on the internet and decided they should do the same thing but since they have no theory of mind they did it really wrong

It's shameful

Who says they're doing it to actual wagyu?

Excellent point. It's probably chuck roast.

“‘Wagyu beef’ is just a thing you say, like ‘certified organic’ or ‘disease-free’…”

I've got a whole diatribe on the USDA organic seal as a set of farming practices - I'll refrain. Coming from a family of beef ranchers where red vs. black angus can start a heated debate, I resent their philistine appropriation of cattleman terminology.

I had several Breyer cattle models as a child. I was a cattle NERD.

I imagine if called out by anyone they had to explain themselves to, there's going to be a whole spiel about how "wagyu chili" is meant to denote a chili so high-quality that it's the wagyu of chili, not that its name was meant to claim that there was wagyu beef in it.

"champagne of beers" vibes

WHEN IT’S TIME TO RELAX ONE BEER STANDS CLEAR…

It is if you're Elon, and you're selling crap to people foolish enough to be still be buying anything from you, much less stuff they'll be putting inside their bodies.

Appropriate, since this is the same day Tesla lawyers are arguing that ‘Autopilot’ and ‘Full Self-Driving’ are also just things that one says…

Lab farmed NuBeef

There is a “Chuck” or rather two on every cow. Wagyu cows have it too and ground Wagyu isn’t that expensive since nobody buys anything but steaks (no Wagyu pot roast)

Ok, that makes sense. I thought "wagyu" meant a certain grade or something, but then I'm also very much not a beef person.

It originally referred to both a breed and particular practices (I shit you not lots of beer and massages) but it doesn’t have a legal definition so gets applied to beef that’s often not much different from ordinary USDA prime.

The Musk impersonator wandering between tables asking diners how they like their food in an outrageous Italian accent is a nice touch.

Honestly, reading the menu was a nausea inducing experience… pickle brined chicken with waffles and maple black pepper mayo? 🤢

OH GOOD GRIEF { throws phone into Town Lake, never to be posted from again }

Wagyu chili, Stef! Wagyu chili!

It probably has beans

Nah, Elon is such a a wannabe Texas bootlicker I bet it doesn't and he's **really** annoying about it

I don't think he actually spends enough time here or cares about fitting in with actual Texans enough to pick that up. There's a certain Kind of Guy who moves here and makes hating on California their whole personality, and they skew towards BBQ fussery over chili. Chili is for the real ones.

listen, let me hate Elon through every avenue I can come up with 😂

as god intended!

if you want bean stew that isn't chili, sure

Ahh but if you are a peasant who doesn't want to pay $16 for a bacon cheeseburger, how's Elon supposed to get to Mars??? His momma said he's supposed to be king of Mars someday.

wtf kind of diner doesn’t offer eggs however you want them with potatoes and toast wtf

we must alert the council of diners to this travesty

What kind of diner menu isn’t thirty pages long with five pages of “Greek Specialties” that are all variations on souvlaki or gyro

I want a piece of spanakopita

Always

“Epic bacon” like it’s fuckin 2011

I hated this stuff when it was in style, and it hasn't aged well.

Maybe they’re made from that dried egg stuff (powdered eggs)

I don’t even think they even asked an LLM what to put on the menu

they asked grok but they couldn't figure out what a "Hitler Burger" is supposed to be

Grok would probably make some suggestions what a "Hitler Burger" would be but then they'd have to pull it offline completely.

Veggie burger with sauerkraut?

Actually, yes. I like it, sounds heinous.

Blork and purples, x to the prime ducats.

But at least their bacon is epic (procured from a Time Machine set to 2010)

This is a good point. This isn't a diner menu—neither the kind of all-day, serves-everything diner that has a book-length menu, nor the very traditional variety that's probably open only for breakfast and lunch and has a much shorter menu. It's much closer to a fast-food menu.

An egg sandwich and breakfast tacos are the only egg items, there are no pancakes at all, and the only waffle is a side (?).

No French toast either... It's something in the genre of a Shake Shack menu with a few breakfast items added.

of course the fries are “tallow-fried” ick

I really just want more Sheetz and Wawa’s to have charging. Also Circle-K’s, their chargers seem to work.

I kind of assume the menu is vaporware. You order, then pay, then are told your food will arrive sometime in around ten years.

"You'll have your apps in about 6 months, with your full meal set to debut next year, we're confident on that!"

The breakfast taco sounds evil like compare it to this which has deshebrada, carnitas, meanced meat and beans

You're telling me a house baked this cinnamon roll?

Biscuits & red gravy? What the hell?

strip him of his citizenship and ship his ass back to whatever boer dump spawned him

Haven't you got a space agency to manage?

😂

The whole menu (epic bacon! New school America cheese!) reads like it as created for teenagers, by a focus, in 1995

Breadcrumbs on a salad. Breadcrumbs.

They were originally croutons but they fell apart like a Cybertruck.

Lol. Very probable.

Why is the pie gluten free

Beef chorizo gravy for the biscuits?!?

red gravy is not for biscuits, if you give any of this to southerners they will turn into cryptids

It's just so janky and wrong

This place exists so people can dine on mediocre food with the worst people imaginable while their techno-shitbox guzzles kW

I'm feeling sorry for the staff already. I wanna see the food inspection report.

The pie is also the only thing marked GF so I imagine they bought it from somewhere and it just happens to be gluten free.

And I bet when they buy a gluten-full pie from somewhere else next week, they won't remember to change the menu and oops!

Yeah that stood out. I'd imagine that they wouldn't want to be seen as catering to the dietary restrictions crowd but wevs I guess!

Honestly sounds a bit woke.

One of: - they have a pie-loving coeliac chef and they’re genuinely committed to making fantastic gluten free pies Or - this is Tesla, they’re lying

the pie’s gluten free but the salad no, is what i’m hearing?

I’m celiac and that menu is a nope for me. The things they chose to mark as gluten free are strange choices, and not the easiest things on the menu to make gluten free? Also, would I trust the training of the staff? (No) Would they cross contaminate stuff? (Probably yes)

i’m actually sort of intrigued by the concept of salad breadcrumbs, maybe as an alternative to croutons in a caesar

The “Tesla” burger is beef? The coal of food?

I am absolutely baffled by a 24 hour diner that doesn’t have dinner options
