Trip 2 - Madison, Wisconsin

Late in July, we took our Tesla (now affectionately called Nikola) to Madison, Wisconsin to conduct genealogy research at the Wisconsin State Historical Society on the Madison Campus.  Beverly took the helm on the way there, and navigated with Auto-Pilot flawlessly.

This trip required a use of the Tesla Supercharging network.  The Madison Supercharger was located at East Towne Mall, and had 3 charging stations in the parking area.  We were the only user of the chargers and we completed a top-up charge in about 40 minutes.  This again was simple and convenient.  Enough charge to conduct our research and then tour the Wisconsin country-side on our return home.

After our stop at the Historical Society, we managed a leisurely tour of campus.  The Frankenburger House in Tripp Housing was my "home" and looks the same as it did in the 1970's.  The Babcock ice cream store was also a necessary stop.  The campus has changed, but brings back many fond  memories.

On our drive back home, Beverly found a side-tour at the Wisconsin Brewing Company in Verona Wisconsin.  The stop provided a sample tasting of eight different brews and we were able to buy a six-pack of the best of the tasting - well worth the stop.  

The Tesla is wonderful to drive and extremely responsive.  Safe and sound back home with about 60 miles of charge remaining.
