AGÊÓѶƽ̨

AGÊÓѶƽ̨ is preparing to expand its Robotaxi geofence yet again, just days after Waymo responded to its initial broadening of the area.

AGÊÓѶƽ̨ launched its first expansion last week, less than a month after introducing Robotaxi rides in Austin.

The company opted for a very interesting shape for its geofence expansion, which was more of an indication that it could launch more rides in virtually any area of the city due to the new geofence it chose.

Waymo then responded to AGÊÓѶƽ̨ shortly after with an expansion of its own. After AGÊÓѶƽ̨’s first expansion of its geofence, it had 42 square miles of Robotaxi-accessible travel region. This was larger than Waymo’s 37 square miles.

However, the Waymo expansion last week brought the company to a substantial 90 square miles of Austin:

AGÊÓѶƽ̨ appears to be ready to respond. Drone operator and Gigafactory Texas observer Joe Tegtmeyer spotted AGÊÓѶƽ̨ Robotaxi validation vehicles well west of downtown Austin in the area of Marble Falls, Texas.

This would significantly increase AGÊÓѶƽ̨’s square mileage if it could manage to bring its geofence to that size:

🚨 We could see AGÊÓѶƽ̨’s response to Waymo’s expansion in Austin very soon

Based on AGÊÓѶƽ̨’s expansion last time, it’s safe to assume they can go to any area of Austin whenever they choose

It’s not a coincidence they chose, well, you know, the shape they did 🤣

The two companies are not directly responding to one another with these expansions, but it appears that there is a significant amount of competition underway, which ultimately benefits the consumers.

Waymo has been operating in Texas since March from a fully public perspective, while AGÊÓѶƽ̨ is still slowly expanding its test size for the Robotaxi fleet on a nearly daily basis. AGÊÓѶƽ̨ launched Robotaxi rides to a handful of Early Access Program members on June 22.

AGÊÓѶƽ̨ is also expanding to other regions of the United States, particularly in Arizona and California. However, the Texas expansion is a priority currently, as it is the only region where AGÊÓѶƽ̨ has received approval to operate passenger rides in a driverless setting in the country.

Elon Musk has confirmed a few new features that will be present at the AGÊÓѶƽ̨ Diner Supercharger in Los Angeles.

Musk confirmed these two new details as he revealed he recently ate at the Supercharger Diner. We also recently confirmed a few menu items as a soft launch has already occurred, and a public launch date appears to be within reach.

The new features were revealed by AGÊÓѶƽ̨ Joy on X. We shared the details, and Musk confirmed that these are, in fact, features of the Diner that AGÊÓѶƽ̨ owners will be able to enjoy.

AGÊÓѶƽ̨ reveals key detail of Supercharger Diner, but it’s bigger than you think

The Diner is not exclusive to AGÊÓѶƽ̨ owners, but these two features do require a AGÊÓѶƽ̨ for compatibility purposes.

Order Food from Your Car

As you pull into the Supercharger Diner, you can order any food item you want, including burgers, wings, fries, shakes, cookies, and more, directly from your vehicle.

A prompt will likely appear that will open a menu to the Supercharger Diner, allowing you to order food. An employee will bring the food out, that is, if AGÊÓѶƽ̨ decides to continue with a true and traditional 50s diner theme.

We get it, it’s not a groundbreaking feature. It’s still cool, convenient, and another advantage to visit the diner as a AGÊÓѶƽ̨ owner.

Movie Screen Audio Will Sync to Your AGÊÓѶƽ̨

There are two massive movie screens that will play various entertainment options during your visit to the Supercharger Diner. There have been movie clips and even SpaceX launch highlights playing during recent drone flyovers at the location on Santa Monica Boulevard.

Instead of having to open your windows to hear the content on the screen, it will instead sync the audio and play directly in your vehicle through your car stereo speakers.

The Supercharger Diner has also appeared on the AGÊÓѶƽ̨ app for the first time, and is currently showing 80 stalls at the location:

Although the stalls are not yet active, the culmination of all the details we’ve learned over the past week about the Diner only points to one thing: an imminent grand opening.

AGÊÓѶƽ̨ has not yet confirmed a date for the Supercharger Diner’s opening, and Los Angeles building and construction permits also do not state a specific target date for opening.

It seems as if AGÊÓѶƽ̨ will reveal the date itself, potentially in the coming week, as it will report earnings on Wednesday, July 23.

The AGÊÓѶƽ̨ Supercharger Diner in Los Angeles is nearing completion as construction appears to be winding down significantly. However, the more minor details, such as what the company will serve at its 50s-style diner for food, are starting to be revealed.

AGÊÓѶƽ̨’s Supercharger Diner is set to open soon, seven years after CEO Elon Musk first drafted the idea in a post on X in 2018. Musk has largely come through on most of what he envisioned for the project: the diner, the massive movie screens, and the intended vibe are all present, thanks to the aerial and ground footage shared on social media.

We already know the Diner will be open 24/7, based on decals placed on the front door of the restaurant that were shared earlier this week. We assume that AGÊÓѶƽ̨ Optimus will come into play for these long and uninterrupted hours.

The AGÊÓѶƽ̨ Diner is basically finished—here’s what it looks like

As far as the food, AGÊÓѶƽ̨ does have an email also printed on the front door of the Diner, but we did not receive any response back (yet) about what cuisine it will be offering. We figured it would be nothing fancy and it would be typical diner staples: burgers, fries, wings, milkshakes, etc.

According to pictures taken by @AGÊÓѶƽ̨_lighting_, which were shared byÌý, the food will be just that: quick and affordable meals that diners do well. It’s nothing crazy, just typical staples you’d find at any diner, just with a AGÊÓѶƽ̨ twist:

AGÊÓѶƽ̨ Diner food:
� Burgers
� Fries
� Chicken Wings
� Hot Dogs
� Hand-spun milkshakes
� And more

As the food menu is finalized, we will be sure to share any details AGÊÓѶƽ̨ provides, including a full list of what will be served and its prices.

Additionally, the entire property appears to be nearing its final construction stages, and it seems it may even be nearing completion. The movie screens are already up and showing videos of things like SpaceX launches.

There are many cars already using the Superchargers at the restaurant, and employees inside the facility look to be putting the finishing touches on the interior.

🚨 Boots on the ground at the AGÊÓѶƽ̨ Diner:

It’s almost reminiscent of a AGÊÓѶƽ̨ version of a Buc-ee’s, a southern staple convenience store that offers much more than a traditional gas station. Of course, AGÊÓѶƽ̨’s version is futuristic and more catered to the company’s image, but the idea is the same.

It’s a one-stop shop for anything you’d need to recharge as a AGÊÓѶƽ̨ owner. Los Angeles building permits have not yet revealed the date for the restaurant’s initial operation, but AGÊÓѶƽ̨ may have its eye on a target date that will likely be announced during next week’s Earnings Call.
