WIthout looking at the details of the permit and approval of this site, it is possible that Tesla was required to put in Magic Docks in order to proceed. It is easy to assume that Tesla is at fault here for not adding more capacity to this station or putting in Magic Docks when it probably should not have, but it is not always this simple without knowing the facts.

They're too busy funding and keeping the MTA employed (cause MTA is one of the top employers otherwise they will be voted out of office) than fixing real issues on climate change etc.
Agreed. A lot of our comments are coming from frustration. Let’s hope they double the capacity at this site in the coming future, though again, not sure if that solves the issue long term.
I hear the frustration. It sucks that this part of Brooklyn is a charging desert.
These Superchargers have built in MagicDocks that dispense a CCS1 adapter. The Leaf is CCS1 capable.

This is news to me...are you talking about some kind of retrofit perhaps? The Ariya is a CCS vehicle, but the LEAF still has CHAdeMO.
This place has be crowded 24/7. Frankly it’s surprising that Tesla has not opened more superchargers in Brooklyn. Barclays and Brooklyn museum are always packed as well now.
Also the increase rate for this supercharger. You might as well pay the garage fee at Barclays. It comes out the same

Tesla is a private company can do what they want.
TLC use is against Tesla’s terms and conditions.
Tesla can easily block access to superchargers if they detect “suspicious activity” and then have the owner prove that the car is not a TLC car with a simple picture of their license plate. TLC use of superchargers I’m sure looks drastically different than a private car.
Nail on head!
NYC is VERY hypocritical.
You can’t have gas stoves bc planet is dying but we won’t spend a penny on ev chargers. lol. The silly thing is it won’t even cost them a penny bc Tesla is MORE than willing to pay for everything. Just give them the space. And nyc has PLENTY of space.
Btw the gas station in middle of belt is a HORRIBLE idea. It’s way too tight.
This would solve a lot. Problem is Caesars Bay closes the parking lot at night. For this to work we all need 24/7 access
Well, there are many more Tesla SuC sites in the general area, so not as bad as some would make it sound for Tesla drivers. But there does seem to be a lack of DCFC south part of Brooklyn. Hope the Magic Dock site proves to businesses in the area that they may want to look into adding DCFC to their businesses.

You forgot to mention - ALMOST ALL these location in NYC pay-per-park sites. As New Yorker (if you are) you should know. This increasing price of charge much higher than any gasoline car with full tank of gas. In Manhattan parking rate can be up to 20 USD per hour.
Well said. DCFC is far and few between in NYC proper, even taking pay for park into consideration.
So where are these people parking their EVs at night? If you are driving an EV, you're probably doing well enough to already be paying monthly parking at those places, so that takes care of the parking fee. If you are coming into NYC from across the bridge, maybe charge up before you go into NYC.
I did see something about NYC adding L2 charging on the sidewalk for the commoners.
