Supercharger - New York JFK, NY

[wormhole]

Another Model S owner looking for free parking...

I beg your pardon? There is long term parking there. Why would I not want to long term park there, get a shuttle to and from the terminal, then charge up before I return home? So judgmental. Another Model S owner quick to judge and condemn others.

But the Superchargers are not for long term parking when you are on a flight.

see above


BTW, this should be moved to NorthEast, JFK/NY is not Mid Atlantic

If you go to the website for the plaza, JFK International Airport - Airport Plazas it doesn't sound like they are providing long term parking, but they do shuttle if they are repairing your car... I'm not sure exactly what the deal is.


The Mods have placed NY into the Mid Atlantic section. If you click North America - you will see the states for each section.

there is no northeast section here, only New England. And anyway NY is definitely Mid-Atlantic

I charged today at the JFK Supercharger. Below are photos. I think these are the newer faster Superchargers , I think the 90 kW or better supercharger because they charged very fast , much faster than the Superchargers in CT.

Congrats on a successful charge AD??

Was the Supercharger easy to find?

I note the directions on the Tesla website mention only when you are coming from the Belt Parkway. Did u come from the Belt Parkway too, or from some point North?

 

[AprilDelivery??]

I came from the Belt Pkwy west going east. Get off Nassau Expressway exit then the second JFK airport expressway to the airport exit then first exit and bear right.

Mostly agree with all you say, but going up/down the East Coast, it's kinda like "choose your poison" when it comes to rush hour; unless driving overnight, one almost has to hit someone's rush hour. So through poor planning, I've hit NYC rush hour a couple of times. Ugh....

Bt like I said, I'm with you. Actually, the Glenn Allen and Rocky Mount Superchargers are a bit off the beaten track (I think like 4 miles, some on back roads, each, which is more than a non-rush hour highway 6 miles). I'm not complaining! But I think I was spoiled by the DE and CT Superchargers. ;-) Not all are/will be that convenient.

P.S. We occasionally visit friends in Manhattan (staying at a hotel in Fort Lee, NJ, as I recall), so while it's good to have an option, regardless...I'm guessing we'd be more likely to sip from the HPWC at the Paramus store instead of using this.

Kendallpb,

Not sure if you know about the planned Edison NJ SC location for your Fort Lee trips. The SC doesn't have approval yet from the town Zoning Board (Tesla is working with them on the design of the fencing surrounding the equipment, hopefully it will be approved at the Jan. 14th meeting.) If or when this SC is running, you could stop in Edison for a top up (it is about 90-100 miles from Newark DE), and I am guessing 40 miles to Fort Lee. Depending on how much you use your car in Fort Lee and driving into NYC, you might be able to bypass Edison on the way home and make it back to Delaware or easily back to Edison. By the way, the Edison location will be 10-15 minutes from exit 10 of the NJ Turnpike .

I stopped and charged today at JFK SC on my way from Southern MD to Eastern L.I. They are 120 kWh Superchargers. Not sure when they opened, but Wendy's and 7-11 are 24/7 now. Two other Teslas showed while I was there. Here are some pics.

Hm, I'm sure it's because I don't get out enough but I've never see an indoor drive thru that wasn't focused on alcohol.

 

[airj1012]

Are these the first 120s in the US? Are all the ones under construction 120s as well? This is pretty big news, no?

No, it isn't big news, or even news at all. All the superchargers installed in recent months have been 120 kW. There are many more 120 kW superchargers than 90 KW.

Tried all 4 JFK superchargers today with no luck...wonder if this happened to anybody else...decided to drive later to Darien, CT to see if my car was accepting the chargers and it worked like a charm...what should I do?

 

[bluetinc]

Did you call Tesla and ask/tell them?

jfk chargers

Peter

I tried...seemed like a default number for sales and services...every time I put in the charger, it would wait a few seconds and then turn red like it was unplugged or I didn't put it in properly.

 

[bluetinc]

Last time I called I think it was Service, then Superchargers, to get to the correct person, (perhaps Service -> 24hour Roadside Assistance -> Superchargers). They have changed their phone system order a few times. It is important to call them, they have live links to the Superchargers and can see what they are seeing from their side. They should, in theory, know what is going on/wrong already but it's always good talk with them about it.

Currently charging at JFK and I don't know if it's the cold but the rate is relatively abysmal

 

[bluetinc]

I had the same thing happen to me a couple of months ago at Darien, tried both chargers, both seemed to limit at 30kW, it was late, and I asked service about it at the same time as the 90/120kW so figuring out what happened got lost in the mix. I charged again the next day at normal rates... Sorry for the lack of good info, figuring out what was going on was pushed fairly far down my list

[AnOutsider]

Yeah I switched bays and the second wouldn't even charge ( red light on the port). I called service and reported it and they said I could call back in 2 hours to check for updates.

Ya... Just left.

They have blocked off access to the majority of the parking spaces in the lot with the superchargers.
So the one open lane with the superchargers is now a dead end.
Anybody know what the cars inside the blocked off area are? They all seem to be somewhat new so maybe rental cars?
