Tesla Diner in Hollywood, launched with futuristic attributes, sparked expectations among Dogecoin fans due to the lack of cryptocurrency payment options.
Tesla Diner Grand Opening
On Monday, the long-anticipated opening of Tesla Diner in Hollywood occurred, featuring a retro-futuristic design. Among the crowd were numerous fans of Elon Musk who arrived well before the opening, awaiting the ceremony. The opening of the restaurant was marked by the chief designer of Tesla, Franz von Holzhausen, unlocking the doors for visitors.
Crypto Enthusiast Disappointment
However, for Dogecoin enthusiasts, this opening turned out to be a disappointment. Despite Musk's earlier statements about accepting cryptocurrency payments, Tesla Diner only accepts traditional money. One patron, attempting to pay with Dogecoin, received the response from an employee: 'Not today'. This led to discussions among crypto fans.
Future Plans for Tesla Diner
Elon Musk has already expressed ideas to expand the diner concept to other major cities and Supercharger locations, depending on the success of the first establishment. The question of accepting Dogecoin in the future remains open, and the reaction to the lack of this option underscores the growing gap between Musk's previous promises and actual practice.
The absence of Dogecoin payment options at Tesla Diner casts doubt on the company's intentions for normalizing cryptocurrencies in everyday transactions. How events will unfold in the future remains to be seen.
