Tesla Diner: A Viral Roast or Just Honest Review?

A local TV reporter's live broadcast from Tesla's new diner in Hollywood quickly became a hot topic online. The reporter, Ellina Abovian from KTLA, didn't hold back her thoughts about the place. She even admitted she didn't eat there, choosing to order a breakfast burrito from Uber Eats instead. When asked why she didn't try the food, she said she didn't find it appealing.

The Cybertruck Lunch Box Incident

Things got more interesting when she accidentally knocked over a Cybertruck lunch box on live TV. She joked, "Elon, don't come for me," adding a humorous touch to her critique. The in-studio anchors also chimed in, making fun of the Cybertruck's design, calling it "too aggressive."

Design and Critiques

Abovian did praise the diner's marketing and design, comparing it to "Greece meets the Jetsons." However, she couldn't resist pointing out the flaws, like the boxes that fell apart. She also mentioned the massive outdoor screen blocking views for nearby apartments, asking a patron if residents might be upset. He replied, "Probably not happy. That's a huge ouchy for their eyes."

Popularity and Online Reactions

Despite her critical remarks, Abovian acknowledged the diner's popularity. She noted it was packed at 10 a.m., offering a variety of food and even a sky deck. Online reactions were mixed. Some criticized KTLA for biased reporting, while others found humor in the situation.

Tesla's Diner Features

Tesla's diner is quite the spot, with:

• 250 seats
• 80 Supercharger stalls
• A massive LED display

Elon Musk himself called it "one of the coolest spots in LA." Whether you see the reporter's broadcast as a viral roast or just an honest review, it certainly sparked a lot of conversation.
