Tesla Diner’s New Holiday Sandwich Comes With a Vegan Twist

Tesla Diner has added a new Holiday Sandwich to its Hollywood menu, putting a plant-based spin on the holiday meal for US$13.50 before any optional meat additions.

The sandwich builds around green bean casserole prepared chicken-fried style, topped with gravy, cranberry sauce and arugula inside a toasted brioche bun. Tesla’s official menu describes the base version as entirely plant-based, so the chicken-fried wording refers to the preparation rather than a chicken filling.

Tesla Charging calls it the “V2 Holiday Sando” and says customers can add turkey or bacon. The US$13.50 price appears on the standard sandwich listing; Tesla’s announcement does not specify the cost of those extras or when the seasonal item will leave the menu.

It joins a seasonal lineup that already includes a Pumpkin Chai Latte and Pumpkin Pie Milkshake on the diner’s current menu. For anyone who would rather stick with the regular options, the Tesla Giga Burger, Pacific Tuna Melt and Falcon Wing Fried Chicken Sandwich remain listed too.

The first Tesla Diner opened in July 2025, combining a two-story restaurant, rooftop seating and drive-in movies with 80 V4 Supercharger stalls. The idea is to give drivers something more interesting to do during a charging stop, with food delivered to the car or served inside.

Tesla also added ordering while en route earlier this year. Owners can order through the Tesla Diner app on their vehicle’s touchscreen, although you do not need to own a Tesla or charge an EV to eat there. Visitors who are not charging need to use nearby street parking or garages.

Tesla Charging shared the new sandwich on November 10, alongside photos of the holiday special.
