Tesla has opened a diner in Los Angeles - and it’s not just about burgers and fries. In today’s episode, Namaan and Jenny Rae explore the business strategy behind this bold move and why the diner could be more than a gimmick.

They break down how Tesla might use this concept to test robotics, integrate charging infrastructure, and experiment with a new kind of customer experience - all while considering brand positioning and long‑term ecosystem plays that could shape the future of the company.
