Tesla Diner, which is being built in Hollywood, California has had numerous permits updated this week. This brings it closer than ever before to construction.
Its Drive-in Movie Theater Diner in Hollywood is one of the most important Tesla projects. Tesla has moved the project, which was originally planned to be built in Santa Monica.
It is a combination of two large movie screens, 32 Superchargers and a restaurant. This is probably one of the most interesting projects the automaker has been working on. The City of Los Angeles has updated the plans for the restaurant, moving it closer to construction and easing the permitting process.
Tesla received six permit updates in this week's only and another four in the first quarter. Here are the most recent updates.
Tesla will address a set of new corrections regarding its restaurant design. There are two planned movie screens, a trash enclosure and a new plumbing system. Each permit is an individual permit. Updates were issued April 3rd.
Tesla applied to a permit renewal for 8 Supercharger cabinets, 32 supercharger posts, one utility transformer and two switchboards. The application was received by the City on April 5th.
Tesla has also applied to a permit "to include equipment Anchorage" on 32 Supercharger posts. This application was received by the City on April 5th.
In addition to these latest updates, Tesla received four permit updates in the first three months of the year.
Tesla was granted a permit to demolish a pre-existing building located on the diner’s property. Although the permit was published February 16, Tesla has yet to begin demolition.
Tesla was given new corrections by the City to address its HVAC system. This update was made on March 9, 2009.
The City is verifying the site's overall electrical plan. This includes chargers, movie screens, and restaurant. The City received the application on March 9th.
Tesla was granted a new sewer cap permit in March 16.
Tesla Diner's final design is still unknown. Until the City of Los Angeles approves the design, it will not be possible for Tesla to showcase its plans. However, early last year was leaked some preliminary plans for the restaurant, which gives a glimpse of what to expect at Tesla's first food-serving establishment.
Many renders based upon the potential design have been produced by Tesla fans in recent years. The most prominent being created by @HowardModels on Twitter.
Assume that Tesla's permitting process goes smoothly. If all goes well, the automaker might be able start construction of the facility this year. Teslarati could not be provided with a more precise timeline by Tesla's architectural contractor or the City of Los Angeles.
