The throwback drive-in, conceived years ago when the world's richest man was still a Los Angeles hometown hero, bows in a radically different era.

When Elon Musk’s highly anticipated Tesla Diner opened its doors in Los Angeles on July 21, it garnered significant media attention, with customers lining up for hours to try chef Eric Greenspan’s pie shakes and classic burgers served in Cybertruck-shaped boxes. This past weekend, however, the lines looked a little different.

Elon Musk has finally confirmed that Tesla’s new ‘affordable’ electric car is just going to be the Model Y in a cheaper format. Musk has ended months of speculations and misinformation, which he partly created, about Tesla’s upcoming cheaper electric vehicle model.
