Soon you can eat at Tesla restaurant! Auto giant files for trademark in US

Electric vehicle and clean energy company Tesla might be planning to enter restaurant business. The California-based company filed for three new trademarks covering categories of 'restaurant services, pop-up, self-service and take-out restaurant services', according to filings of United States Patent and Trademark Office.

The company's application for trademarks will be reviewed around August 27, TechCrunch reported.

The company's latest move indicates that it might be ready to try the long-discussed concept. It remains to be seen if the country will itself run the restaurant or partner companies, which have experience in the sector.
