A four-story-tall movie screen in the parking lot of Tesla’s Hollywood Diner & Drive-In is now blocking the view from a nearby apartment complex.

There is no law preventing someone else from projecting an image on the screen, right?

This could be fun.

If I lived there I would be stocking up on paint balls, rocks, or just bullets and just unload on it.

I watched Men in Tights recently, recreate the intro with the burning screen.

Are they going to play Hitlers speeches there or something?

Anyway, if this comes from Tesla I'll expect it to be vapid yet very colorful with lots of bling bling and being utterly useless

It's almost like they're doing the most abhorrent marketing ploy to win favor back with the edgelords.

So it's really close. My gut tells me they paid the renters or the land lord. Funny tho, a bit after two minutes, you see an Arial view and it's honestly so small. The screens are big but there's maybe enough place for a few dozen to sit.
