A YouTuber who attempted to prank a Tesla Optimus robot at the company's Hollywood diner was pranked right back in a moment captured on video. The incident occurred at the Tesla Diner and Drive-In in Hollywood, California, where Tesla has been testing second-generation Optimus robots. A black-colored Optimus unit, nicknamed "Poptimus," serves popcorn to visitors. The visitor, known online as Channel Korean Jay, tried to interrupt the robot's handoff of a popcorn container. Instead of completing the transaction, Optimus pulled its own hand back twice before handing over the popcorn, replicating the teasing motion. The diner has served as an informal testing ground for Optimus in public settings, exposing the robot to unpredictable human interaction. The specific unit was a black-colored second-generation prototype, following an initial white version. The lighthearted moment contrasts with other viral incidents, including one at a Tesla "Autonomy Visualized" event in Miami, where an Optimus unit lost its balance.
