Now that the concept has become a reality, Musk expressed his hope to open more advanced dining locations in major cities worldwide. “If our retro-futuristic diner proves successful, which I believe it will,” Musk tweeted on July 19, “@Tesla will create these in major cities around the world, as well as at Supercharger stations along long-distance routes.”
