A proposed 6 or 8 stall Tesla supercharger was on the October 10th Oshkosh City Council agenda (starting on page 149) with Plan Commission recommendation for approval. The location is Festival Foods at 2415 Westowne Avenue, in the northwest corner of the property along N. Westhaven Drive.

Good to see Tesla following through on their Supercharger expansion; they’ve made a ton of much needed progress in Wisconsin. Now please get us a service center!
Anywho, I live in Oshkosh and think this location will an excellent choice. It’s only a couple minutes of 41 and there’s a Menard’s adjacent to the Festival Foods along with a handful of fast food restaurants in the center (Culver’s, Wendy’s, Cousin’s Subs, etc.). There’s also a good Mexican restaurant called Paloma across the street that’d be a very short walk.

I know one week a year (last week of July) that this will partially be used as a destination charger:
EAA AirVenture Oshkosh | Oshkosh, Wisconsin | Fly-In & Convention
EAA AirVenture Oshkosh | Oshkosh, Wisconsin | Fly-In & Convention
Why not just go Rockford->Madison->Green Bay? I drive from Madison to Appleton rather easily in our S85; Green Bay's not much further. Do you just have a 60? If you're really in a bind, there are free L2's around Fond du Lac, Oshkosh, and Appleton...

I happened to be over here yesterday and swung by to take a quick look. The charging stations and superchargers are all in place but there's no fencing or transformer visible (if it's even needed?). I'd say we're still a couple weeks out but am hopeful this will be operational by the end of the year. I only saw 6 charging stations so this will be a relatively small location but, no doubt, this will make life a lot easier for a lot of people.
I'll also add the parking lot this charger is in at the Festival Foods is a ZOO. I wouldn't be surprised to see the charging spots get ICED during peak times so hopefully they make the signage very clear.
I should have been more specific. We'll probably take the route you suggest, however, whenever I route it through our X, Tesla navigation has us going through Chicago. Long story short we need to be able to go from Madison -> Appleton -> Madison on a charge. We won't be going all the way up to Green Bay in our vehicle. If they can get the supercharger in Oshkosk up and running it will really help with that. If not we'll just find an L2 station to get some juice from to help with the winter travel. Again I say to myself, really should have went with the 100 instead of the 75 haha.
In my experience (over 117,000 Model S miles) it is not a good idea to rely on Tesla navigation for your route selection. I always plan long trips with Google maps beforehand. I generally find that if there are alternatives, Tesla nav will choose the longest or the slowest or ideally both at the same time (and it gives preference to toll roads even if not necessary.) Once I know the route I will allow Tesla to navigate if it's distance and time agree with my Google maps estimates, otherwise out comes the iPhone.
We usually do a mixture. It's interesting to see where Tesla tries to take you.
Does anyone near Oshkosh have an update on this station? Just wondering how progress is going.
