Just out of curiosity what was your Cabin temp set to? Did you have Range Mode enabled? Turning OFF the cabin climate control completely can do wonders for energy savings and as long as you have appropriate winter clothing with you (and you can keep the windows from fogging) it can really get...

Took a little road trip from Madison to Mitchell SD last week, stopping in La Crosse, Albert Lea, Worthington and Mitchell. I just wanted to share a scary moment and find out what others would have done! The LaCrosse to Albert Lea distance is about 120 miles. Based on the energy I had been using...

Stopped by Madison 7pm Sunday night. Crew of 4 guys working in the dark to get the fence up! Pavement and "landscape islands" all filled with crushed gravel mix. Looking very close!! They say they will finish Madison Monday then head up to Eau Claire again. Now we just have to get MG&E to throw...

Just stopped by Madison. No juice yet.

Islandbayy -- You should use a LOT less energy driving at 55 rather than 65 -- at least that is true when temperatures are not so extremely cold. Since you are galavanting around the state for us, would be curious to see your experience with that if you want to try? In October I drove Madison to...

Madison Update: Stopped by this afternoon. The inspector was there (they passed!) and I was able to plug in and test one of the 3 spots. Tom from Tesla tested the other 2 with his vehicle borrowed from the Minneapolis Service Center. Tom lives in San Francisco but was not planning to attend the...

Just visited Madison site again. No action since bayy's ill-fated adventure there last evening. Crew must be working elsewhere today as the fresh snow was not disturbed by footprints or concrete mixers. Alas. Had to drink those 2 hot chocolates I brought for the guys myself instead...

Stopped at East Towne in Madison yesterday afternoon and the guys were working madly to "finish up today" (which I thought was a good idea since one of those lovely "Arctic air masses" is headed our way). The nice tents they had set up over their work area collapsed under the snow. It still...

Stopped at East Towne in Madison just now and it looks like Tesla is getting ready for a party out there!! The stalls they were installing the superchargers at are all covered with a big white tent, and adjacent is an even bigger fancy green striped big-top style tent! I didn't peak under the...

It is a driving setting button on the touch screen. My understanding is it limits the HVAC system power draw. Stopped at Madison construction site tonight. Here is a photo of the "ditch". Looks like all of the "stuff" is there. Hopefully soon!

Two guys working in a hole in the ground under the tent at the Madison Supercharger location today. They say it is warm under there but hard to believe!

According to Madison Gas and Electric Community services, "Yes, Tesla has applied with the City of Madison to build a six stall Tesla Supercharger charging station in the JC Penney parking lot at East Towne Mall. Initial construction has started at the site and while we do not know the...
