Tesla wants to make it fun to charge your electric car.
The automaker, whose network of Superchargers has started opening up to vehicles made by other brands, has been planning to open a station with diner and a drive-in movie for several years, and revealed the first image of what it might look like during its investor day presentation on Wednesday.
The rendering was on a presentation deck titled "Can't forget to Do Cool S***" and showed a 1950s-inspired, rounded building with chrome, light strips and a rooftop terrace.
Superchargers are spread throughout the parking lot that surrounds it and a large movie screen looms above.

There was another teaser image posted alongside it that appeared to show a Tesla in a garage using a wireless charging mat on the floor, but the presenter did not reference either image directly, only saying that "we also want to make sure that we continue to focus on providing really incredible charging experiences."

Tesla does not currently offer the technology, which uses inductive charging like a smartphone charging pad, but it would allow owners to simply park their car over it to charge without having to plug it in.
