About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular was driving out of Tesla’s parking lot when he noticed something strange. His dog, usually indifferent to cars, started barking furiously at an electric vehicle pulling up next door. Curious, the man walked over and saw that the delivery driver was struggling with his package. Turns out, the dog thought the flashing lights on the cargo were toys! Since then, whenever someone delivers packages, the canine becomes a temporary mascot for Tesla.
2. A curious neighbor asked one day: ‘Why does every Tesla leaving that garage suddenly turn left and drive straight into the sunset?’ The owner smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘They’re not turning left— they’re just following the sun’s magnetic pull!’ The neighbor shook their head with a smile, realizing it was yet another quirk of life in Marina del Rey.
3. A delivery driver pulled up to Tesla’s loading dock one afternoon and noticed something odd in the cargo bay. Among the usual boxes and packages lay an old, dusty guitar case. Curious, he opened it—and inside found a note scribbled in marker: 'Take me home.' The delivery driver shrugged, picked up the guitar, and decided to take it home for safekeeping. That night, while unpacking his truck, he discovered that someone had accidentally left their electric toothbrush behind too. The next morning, after playing some random notes on the guitar, he realized it was tuned perfectly—just like Tesla's self-driving cars. From then on, whenever anyone asked why there was always music playing during deliveries, he’d just smile and say, ‘It’s the new company policy.’
4. At night, a delivery driver parked near Tesla’s loading dock and heard an odd humming sound coming from inside the building. He shrugged it off as nothing until the next morning, when every Tesla rolling out had its headlights glowing eerily blue. Curious, he peeked inside and saw that all Teslas were lined up like robots, their headlights softly illuminating the parking lot with an otherworldly glow. A neighbor passing by noticed the strange sight and joked, ‘Maybe Elon Musk is testing his new night-mode feature.’ Everyone laughed, but the delivery driver swore he felt a slight tingle on his arm—just like when you touch a doorknob after shuffling across a carpet.
