The Tesla Diner has demonstrated robust performance in the fourth quarter, countering perceptions of it being a ghost town. It processed over 30,000 burger orders and 83,000 fries orders during that period. Revenue exceeded $1 million, projecting an annual run rate of $4 million.
Reports from social media analyst Sawyer Merritt highlight the unexpected success of the Tesla Diner in Q4. Addressing online skepticism, Merritt noted, “It’s not a ghost town lol,” emphasizing the venue's popularity despite any contrary impressions.
In the final quarter of the year, the diner recorded more than 30,000 orders for burgers and 83,000 for fries. This activity translated into over $1 million in revenue, establishing a $4 million annual run rate. For context, this figure surpasses the average revenue of a typical McDonald’s location, underscoring the diner's competitive edge in the fast-food sector.
The performance comes amid Tesla's broader ventures into hospitality, integrating the diner with its Supercharger station. While specific timelines for the quarter's orders remain un detailed in available data, the numbers reflect sustained customer interest. This success may signal potential for expansion in Tesla's non-automotive offerings, though long-term trends will depend on future quarters.
