Tesla West Hollywood Diner Faces Protests, Lawsuit

Tesla's retro-futuristic diner in West Hollywood has become a focal point for both enthusiastic patrons and persistent protests, with demonstrators from the 'Tesla Takedown' movement criticizing Elon Musk's political affiliations and government efficiency initiatives, and calling for a boycott. Local residents have complained about severe traffic congestion and safety hazards created by the diner, such as long lines of Teslas blocking intersections and emergency access. A recent incident in which a rooftop patio covering struck a visitor has led to plans for a lawsuit against Tesla. Despite these challenges, the diner remains popular, with long wait times and strong customer turnout. Meanwhile, Tesla is facing broader business difficulties, including a 12% year-over-year drop in revenue and declining automotive sales. City officials are working to address the local impacts as the controversy continues.
