Please point me where else I should add this information; thought I'd share this based on what I learned for the trip from my home to NYC. Tesla told me there was a 6-50 (220/50) plug in the garage of the Omni hotel. Given this was my first trip, I wanted to confirm it was still there and functioning before I did anything. Unfortunately, I went through a few people who didn't know and ended up settling for someone who said they saw what looked like a plug for a stove and knew that Roadsters had charged there before. I wanted to share the details of where this thing is ...
Pull into the garage (Omni Hotel in New Haven -- Temple St.). It's a pretty obvious garage and pretty easy to get to from the highway.
After taking your parking ticket, do NOT follow the directions for general parking. Take your first right and make your way to the reserved employee parking (second right -- before the garage exit; the first right would be the exit of the reserved parking area). Back into the #7 spot and hook up to the 6-50. Draw the full 40 amps. You may want to introduce yourself to the staff there (there's an employee booth right next to this area) -- they like seeing the car and it's probably a good idea that they know you're there
Here's a couple pictures:
You can head upstairs to the hotel and eat/rest/stretch at the two places in the hotel or make your way outside for more choices. I ate at the Cask Republic "in" (attached to) the hotel.
I didn't make a note of the rates, and it may have varied by weekday/weekend. On the way down, I paid $12 for ~1.5 hours and on the way up, I paid $9 for the same.
There's a Juice bar there (J1772, unknown amperage) now; and they're looking to grow the charging presence here. They own a Tesla HPC but haven't installed it yet (theoretically a couple weeks away).
