Just FYI my friends live in a condo in the city and drive a Tesla anyway. They use the supercharger stations just like normal gas stations -- fill up once a week (or less if you don't drive much) _for free_ and you're good to go. So it's definitely possible, just slightly less convenient than an ICE car due to the small number of high-speed charging stations currently available.

Not in this city. The nearest one is an hourish away, depending on time of day and traffic. This is by the way, the third largest city in the country.

New York has only one in JFK, which as I understand it is an awful place to have to drive to.

Possible, yes, practical, no. "Slight less convenient" is a gross understatement in at least these two cities. LA, well.. the culture of "you just have to take an hour to get anywhere" seems to permeate anyway so maybe it works.
