What is the business case for Tesla Diners? I can only think of Tesla/EV drivers on road trip looking for a place along their route to kill time while recharging. That can't be that big enough of a market.
Tesla Dinner is essentially trying to reinvent a gas pump convenient store with facilities. Somebody maybe asked why gas pump had the facilities around them with an employee who can help you if something does not work, sometimes even in 3am?
Maybe Tesla dinner has been a brainchild of somebody who actually drove BEV and got into charging problems in the middle of a night in a bumfuck nowhere and not enough charge to get to a different point? I have been in that situation, that feeling of helplessness while you are essentially holding your salvation in your hand, yet it does not work, can be really crushing.
> Initially, the plant received whole animals from a Volkswagen-owned farm that were butchered on site – this has since ceased and pre-butchered animals are sourced locally
I mean, really they should be getting the pigs from Bosch.

This is because there have been non-stop lines and demand. They are simplifying so they can get food to everyone.
