“The really neat thing about Tesla is not just the amazing technology in the vehicles but it’s the community that brings together. Very much like-minded people, very interested in the technology and what they’re trying to do," said Mike Klimkosky, the Tesla Club Wisconsin President.

The family-friendly event is aimed to bring owners together to celebrate Tesla and its mission to make a better planet.
