To say what ‘everything in specs’
Sounds like a good spot for a robotaxi depot.
Litering AND....
Was in Manhattan on Wednesday for the first time in years. I was SHOCKED by the number of Tesla's rolling around. Owners, Tesla ubers, Tesla taxi's, etc. Everywhere you turned your head there were at least two to three Tesla's. The only other place I've been to that was even remotely comparable was SOCal. The market in that area must be absolutely massive with very little local support.
And only have 12 employees for the whole site
They are awesome cars. Everyone that has one in our circles plans on buying another.
As someone who’s from California and visited Manhattan recently, I was surprised by how few Teslas I saw lol. Thought there would be more
I was arguing on another sub yesterday about the rapid pace that cab drivers in NYC are switching to teslas, people were oddly surprised about the fact that this is happening and saying how inconvenience this idea was for a cab driver.
where in Queens though?
Totally agree.
Like that in Toronto and many urban centres too. Literally white Tesla's everywhere.
The plural forms of “Tesla” and “taxi” are “Teslas” and “Taxis”, not “Tesla’s” and “taxi’s”, btw Which you seem to know since you correctly pluralized “Ubers” and “owners” haha
Elon’s comments in the Q3 call about making the service process more factory like were interesting. I guess this is the start of that.

If they can figure out nyc then they can handle anything.
*India has entered the chat*
It's inconveniencing the shit out of me. Four years ago there were never any issues supercharging in NYC but now all stations are full 24/7. I've pulled up at 4AM before and had to wait at my local station. It's mainly Uber's and TLCs clogging up all the stalls. We so desperately need more superchargers in the city. Service has actually been pretty decent, I can get seen within a few days for my issues. But damn, in a city where most people survive on DCFC to drive, I really hope they're considering adding stalls to publicly charge here.
Vietnam has enter the chat.
Where the College Point Multiplex used to be.
I have a friend that used to travel to India for work several times year and was always provided with a driver/car service. The way he describes it insane. And his driver told him that he was “one” with the other drivers and they all knew what everyone else was doing in spite of traffic laws never being followed just baffles me how the entire country isn’t one massive accident.
What?
Because they can’t ever go past 30mph since it’s always a gridlocked shit show. Can’t have massive accidents if you can’t ever get to massive accident speeds 
“If you can make it in New York…”
I’d much much rather drive in NYC than Boston. Grid intersections are simple.
FSD *in* the city works pretty well, largely because speeds are always slow. The surrounding highways, however…
Vancouver BC
Istanbul is pretty tight too. And no one honks or rages there.
**Lagos, Nigeria has entered the chart.**
It’s starting to get like that here(Northern Ft. Worth). Nothing like in Cali, but you can’t go a drive or walk without seeing them anymore, and it feels like it happened overnight. The used market was shocking when I looked at it recently. 1-owner *2022/23* M3s selling for well under $30k. I can’t imagine how it’ll be once the affordable model releases next year.
Totally agree. I live here and if I ever use FSD on the highway, in 5 minutes I am 10 cars behind the car that was directly in front of me 5 minutes ago. Sometimes it’s more like 50 cars. You can not leave a car length in between you and the car in front of you. FSD will never be able to drive like a New Yorker. Ok never say never, but they are not even close.
Yeah the NYC Tesla guys have to go to Brooklyn or NJ or Long Island. I live on Long Island right outside the city and I have two service centers within about 20 minutes from my house. One is really new and huge. (Westbury)
Oh I used to go to that theater. What a bizarre location it was in, in some weird shopping center kind of in the middle of nowhere right off the highway
unite mindless silky jobless future payment thumb sulky rude seemly *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev/home)*
you don't like it? i thought it was a pretty good location when I first saw it.
Let's hope the SC is better than Houstons SC. Went there today to test drive a model S (I currently have the Model 3 Highland). There was only one restroom for customers and it was out of order. The salesman told me "your best bet for the restroom is next door at Jack in the Box". I left in shock, if that is the current state of SCs, I don't want any more Teslas.

Charging infrastructure isn't enough
NYC recently dropped citywide speed limits to 20mph
It's been over 20 years since I was in Queens. Is that the spot right off of Northern Blvd, next to the newspaper place, and across the street from the bowling alley? Hunter ave, with the hookers?
Rome has entered the chat.
It’s a great spot for a Tesla center. It was just weird for a movie theater. Wasn’t there a toys r us and not much else? Honestly this was the early 90s so I don’t remember much from back then!
yep, it used to be toys r us and baby r us next door, given its right next to the highway off ramp it makes logistical sense to bring trucks in for delivery. and the more remote area in the back allows for more "free spirited" test drives. plus you can't miss it on the highway so its great for advertisement.
its not exactly right off northern, but yeah on the otherside of the highway is the bowling alley. its down the block from new york times building.
alot of Tesla SSD used to be toys r us and the likes, this one will have a gut out renovation more likely.
[deleted]
have you watched Wham Baam YouTube-stupid human drivers will be busted.
I rarely get motion sickness or nauseous from riding in a car, but almost all of the cabs I’ve taken in NYC actually made me feel sick. I can’t imagine how bad some of those drivers are now that they got one pedal driving.
Better get in line now, I guess
Good, good, buy more American cars instead of Canadian car comp… oh wait.
> I left in shock, if that is the current state of SCs, I don't want any more Teslas. That is absolutely representative of all service centers and definitely not anecdotal, you should absolutely not buy more Teslas! (That way there’s more for the rest of us)
Why would that be the metric? You create SC based on number of customers, not “how dependent” a city is on cars. The two might be correlated, but clearly not always.
I use FSD in NYC most days, I can confirm it knows not to turn right on red.
Or Birds & Bloom magazine apparently
Fsd isn't the problem in NYC its the parking
r/titlegore
Love how car companies advertise quality and reliability, the build massive service centers.
Which highway? My experience with FSD on the Belt and S State has been positive and those roads imo are stressful.
Yeah the superchargers are clogged with taxis and ride shares
I drive from Boston to Philly/dc pretty regularly and I will never charge in NY. They need to like 4 times the superchargers easily
bowling alley is gone but not the hookers
There's a New York times building in Queens?
It's the printing plant.
It's where the regular taxi depots are. Prime real estate for this was around LIC before it was super developed because your lot is in Queens but you are right under the Queensboro bridge (no toll straight to Manhattan)
I drive daily in nyc on one of the main highways I can tell you FSD is more dangerous than anything. Abrupt stops. Almost get rear ended daily.
Really? The Belt is bad. But I’m talking about the only two crazier roads- the BQE or the Cross Bronx. Those are filled with trucks and the craziest drivers on the country. Also the entrance ramps on the cross Bronx can be insane. FSD could never make the entrance from the Bronx River Prkwy to the cross Bronx. You have to quickly shift 3 lanes over from right to left and FSD would at best make one lane change in that distance.
Hahaha come to Boston
Manhattan, sure. Queens, no. Especially Whitestone/College Point. Transit desert over there.
That’s the point. Robo taxi picks you up and drops you off without needing to park. Then it moves on. It intends to solve the parking problem. Not sure it accomplishes that but that is their claim.
Mexico City crashes into the chat.
Surprised there is not more charging spots tho
Largest and service center? Did the poster forget a word?
Whichever one has a storm drain every few hundred feet that you slam into if you're in the leftmost lane. Although there are probably more than one. I'm not local to that area, just pass through on trips. So you're probably right when you consider exits and on-ramps. I like to toggle minimum lane changes and make those decisions myself. I put the car in the outer sewer grate lane and let it go as fast as it wants to keep up. It's not a relaxing experience FSD or not but I feel a tad bit safer with it on.
Think of it like it is a flock of sparrows
Good their service is sucking major donkey balls these days. I’m currently in the…”never buying another one camp” because of how shitty their service has gotten.
In Norway I can play "the floor is lava" and walk all the way to work on them. (kind of). Regarding the post however, I'm a bit worried that servicing their cars is now a revenue driver for Tesla when they in the very last earnings call said "no service is the best service". If he had been as hardcore as he is about PR departments and a lot more, I guess that big site should just have a big poop emoji built...
NYC’s taxi and limo commission put a block in issuing new plates for uber and Lyft for several years but lifted it on the condition the new vehicle is an EV. So they’ve exploded in growth here as more people wanted to sign up.
Largest and servicest center
I drive multiple hours in, around, and out of ALL of Manhattan everyday about 97% on FSD. Worst problem with the new update is that blinkers go crazy to go around objects which can confuse other drivers. Annoying, but NYC drivers are used to seeing much crazier than someone over actively using their turn indicator.
Which Highway?
All three that head out east
Plus one or the other going north south
Might not get finished, Elon will get into a lot of trouble after Harris will become president
Guess people haven't watched Super Troopers...
