Tesla\u2019s new Supercharger in Santa Monica, California located on Santa Monica Boulevard opened yesterday, becoming the first Supercharger station in Tesla\u2019s network to accept Dogecoin as a payment. The Supercharger Station is incomplete, for now. Tesla still has another address to develop for this project, and Musk confirmed it will be void of the 50\u2019s diner or drive-in movie theater that was once planned for the site. This will instead be added to a different Supercharger facility, now planned for Hollywood.<\/p>\n

Located 1421-1425 Santa Monica Boulevard, the new Supercharger is located on one of two lots Tesla purchased for the project<\/a>. The other is located at 1401 Santa Monica Boulevard. 1421-1425 is technically the supplemental lot for the project and will house 26 total Superchargers when it is completed. A photograph of the new lot taken by Model Y owner and Los Angeles resident Ryan Zohoury<\/a> shows the lot, which is turning out very similar to the blueprints submitted by Tesla to the Santa Monica City Council last year.<\/p>\n

Dogecoin Payment \u2013 The First of its kind<\/h3>\n

Musk confirmed that the Santa Monica Supercharger will officially accept Dogecoin as payment, making it the first Supercharger in Tesla\u2019s network to accept the crypto as a payment method. Musk, a vocal proponent of both Doge and Bitcoin, has long hinted toward bringing Doge as a payment method to various parts of Tesla\u2019s business. The company does accept Doge in its online store and there have been rumors of Tesla eventually accepting the crypto as a form of payment for its vehicles.<\/p>\n

\n

And, of course, you can pay in \u00d0oge<\/p>\n

50\u2019s Diner and Drive-in Movies moving to Hollywood<\/h3>\n

At 1401 Santa Monica Boulevard lies the main lot of the Santa Monica Supercharger. 36 V3 Superchargers will fill this lot, and previously Tesla planned to build a Drive-in movie theater and a \u201950s themed diner. Tesla added some \u201cEaster Eggs\u201d in this lot, even adding specially-sized parking spaces. With a majority of the spaces being a standard 9-foot width, some are as wide as 12 feet, which could hint toward the introduction of more Cybertruck-focused parking spaces<\/a>\u00a0as new Supercharging lots are built.<\/p>\n

Elon Musk confirms major Tesla Santa Monica Supercharger: 50\u2019s-style diner, drive-in movie clips<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Renders of the Santa Monica Supercharger<\/a> found by Teslarati <\/em>last year did not show any diners or large projection screens that would indicate Tesla is planning to build either of these facilities on-site. Musk basically confirmed last night that the lot at 1401 will not have these features. They will instead be added to a Supercharging facility in Hollywood.<\/p>\n

\n

And futuristic diner \/ drive-in theater planned for Hollywood area!<\/p>\n

\u2014 Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 19, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is not much of a surprise. Blueprints and renderings<\/a> showed relatively no room for either of these projects. However, a full-service restroom will be available on this lot. Tesla will renovate an already-built structure to accommodate these features.<\/p>\n
