Regarding the regrets, I'm curious why you think you must go to the Tesla Supercharging station to fill up your car. Any public charging station can be used, and New York City has been doing a lot to put a lot of charging stations throughout the parking garages all through the city. Plugshare shows tons of them.

So maybe see what ones are near where you live or work that you can use while your car is parked there. I think this may be just a light bulb moment of realizing that this isn't always the same as the "filling station" mindset people have always had with gas cars. You don't need to drive to the electric filling station and wait to charge it and then leave. The best case is to find where you can park your car that has charging available so that it does its thing unattended while you are away working. Relying on going to a Supercharger all the time is going to get old fast.
Leading the Charge: Mayor Announces Fast-Charging EV Hubs in All 5 Boroughs
Rocky - thanks very much. I'll look into your suggestions. I also should have provided more details. For example, I work in Midtown NYC and public transportation is the way most people travel to work in Manhattan. I have tried, through several apps, to find local garages with recharge capabilities, as I don't have one in my apartment building. But the cost is from $12 to $27 minimum. So, the only option so far is doing just that - driving to a Tesla Supercharger location and waiting.
New York City gets an extensive new electric car charging program with 50 fast-charging stations
I might recommend that this would be a good one to check in the regional section of this forum for "Mid-Atlantic", which includes New York, and see if there are threads there about what parking garages near you have good charging. Maybe post a new thread asking for suggestions near those locations of good places to park/charge.
