Because of the location, all plan reviews are run through Alaska State Fire. They use this portal which isn’t the greatest for searching. If the address matches exactly then it works but for now it’s best to go to advanced and use site city to search. For example, search Girdwood from the main search returns 4 results, advanced returns 152.

Yes, but Tesla's drawing of where the stalls will be installed is definitive.
The name Alyeska is a Slavic word (Алеска) that is a short form of Alexandra but it hasn’t been a Russian town for a very long time.

So does Tesla usually have to foot the bill for 3-phase power upgrades or is it being covered by the utility? I wonder how far they need to come, in this case? That sounds like it could take a while. Also somewhat interesting that Chugach Electric is forging ahead with new approvals with such a tenuous, gas-driven shortfall looming.
Good question, I would have to assume they do to some extent. But since the line adds to the local infrastructure, I'd guess 50%. I would have thought there was already a 3-phase trunkline feeding the Ski area for the Lifts. Having adequate power supply is one of the hurdles Tesla has to deal with when it comes to sighting the more remote locations. I wouldn't have thought it would be an issue here since it's relatively close to Anchorage.
If 3p doesn't run down the Alyeska Hwy but instead goes east-west across old Girdwood on Lindbald Ave, guessing they'd run a line down Holmgren Place to the SC site (~400 ft)? I've not looked at the town Comprehensive Plan to see where else they note would benefit from future development near there? There's currently overflow parking all along Girdwood Place and a Town Square Buffer Park to the south. Since the creek flows through the west side of the SC lot, I'm guessing they're hoping to develop the forested parcels on the north side of Girdwood Pl? Running power over to the resort from the Lindbald line is super strange to me because it must go under Glacier Creek? Seems much easier and less risky to run it along the highway but what do I know?
Tesla is going to have this 3p issue at several intentioned locations on their SC Voting map. Glacier View, AK chief among them as it's not available anywhere in town. Not sure what they'd do there other than to add battery-supported hardware?
