No....but I can only imagine..LOL. Anything in the city in regards to an automobile is a nightmare, so you got me there!!Have you seen the SuC on Mott Street, NYC?
Personally, Unless you live at the Oakman I can't see any reason why the 1st St chargers would be attractive. As I understand it the garage is:
1) Expensive
2) Valet and stacked
3) Tight
Am I missing something? Less than a 1/2 mile away is Newport Center Mall. It is also pay for parking but appears to be about half the price or less and has 20 stalls right on the first floor where you park yourself like a normal SC charge station (See my pics above)...cost me $1.50 for an hour of parking. Even though Newport Center does not yet show up on my console, it is open and ready to roll. Seems to me based on these threads and the pics that 1st street is too little, too late. I have never seen such a crowded, inaccessible SC point. BTW, I have nothing to do with either location but if you are not familiar with Jersey City, trust me, you want to go to Newport. Thoughts?
Charged Thursday. It does make a difference in my life. No worries about charging ever again. Wonderful. Long life Tesla!!!Me so happy!!

100% agreed. I live next door to The Oakman and I don't plan on ever using those chargers.
The driveway to get in is tight, the parking is stacked and super tight. And, you have to pay a lot of money. As you correctly point out, the drive from 1st St to the mall superchargers is exactly half a mile. And, at the mall you have the option to at least walk around and get stuff done while your car charges.
We may need to stop at the Newport Centre SC on our way to Manhattan next week. We're likely to get their after the mall is closed (~10pm). Anything open around that time especially with bathrooms or do we need to swing by one of the gas stations near the Holland tunnel entrance? thanks
We were there near closing so it wasn't crowded but did have a chuckle seeing a model S parked at the EVSE charger spots closer to the mall while all the supercharger spots were wide open. Couldn't tell if it was plugged in.Soo much ICEing there. I was there today there were 3+ SUV parked at the chargers.
Not at all surprised. It will only get worse during the very busy holiday shopping season.Soo much ICEing there. I was there today there were 3+ SUV parked at the chargers.
The charge rate is definitely WAY below their normal, regular 72 kW. It is not an issue with a stall or two. All of them are affected. Personally, I only tested three stalls (out of twenty) but a call to Tesla confirmed they are having load problems at the location and they do NOT have an ETA on when the problem will be fixed. They are at the mercy of PSE&G, which I suspect does not feel this is a priority. I ended up using the supercharger at The Oakman (160 1st Street) but be prepared to shell out $7 for one hour (or, $9 for two hours) which sucks in comparison to the $1.50 charge at Newport Centre.
