After my Baja California trip, this summer I and my family are driving to visit Alaska in our 2017 Model X P100D. We're over 100,000 miles now, and we've got a modestly degraded battery with 259 miles reported range at 100%. This trip has recently become much more tractable owing to the great job that the government of Yukon Territory has done installing fast chargers on its major routes.
Based on charging availability and individual segments that are within the capabilities of our range, this is the route that we took:
Two potentially tricky bits: (1) northern British Columbia, and (2) eastern Alaska. I'll talk about those in detail below
Adapters:

Adapters:
- CHAdeMO Tesla adapter -- for Yukon and BC 50kW fast chargers
- SETEC CCS adapter -- backup option for Yukon and BC fast chargers, and primary for Tok Bus Barn
- NEMA 14-30 -- dryer adapter for Red Goat Lodge in northern BC
- TT30 -- 30amp 120V 3kW charging option for emergencies at RV parks
- NEMA 14-50 -- better RV park backup, but most RV parks on the route don't have 50amp service (hence the TT30 as well)
