First GTPE in AK!

After a long wait, I got to bring my GTPE home tonight. Dealer says I have the first one Alaska. It was dark when I left the dealership so this is the best pic until tomorrow….

A little later in the year you would have said "It was dark when I left the dealership so this is the best pic until spring …."

Yep, Space White. Was a little nervous ordering it, as I had only seen it is person on a F150 and wasn’t totally impressed with it on the truck. I‘m very happy with in on the MME.

Not too far off…looks like we are getting a dusting of snow tonight. Going to have to be careful with these summer tires until I can my winter tires next week.

Congrats! Also, I'm curious about what sort of EV charging infrastructure there is in AK? When I first got my Tesla in 2015, there was no way to get back home to TX from CA without a stop at an RV park. Now, though, there are superchargers all through West Texas.

50kw public chargers are just starting to appear. A state built system for the major highways will start installation next summer. The Canadians have also started expanding their charging network northward, so in a few years it may be possible to drive an EV from the lower 48 to AK without resorting to Level 2 charging at campgrounds.

I have a Select on order with Kendall Ford. I'm curious how long it took from build date to arrive in Alaska. I'm hoping to be able to bring it down to Juneau on the Kennicott from Whittier rather than shipping it.

To the person asking about AK infrastructure, we have quite a few free public chargers put in by the city (level 2, only 1 is a fast charger.) It's rare to take your car out of town in Southeast, but the southern Yukon has charge stations in all the towns now (all 5 of them).
