Very interesting! I wonder if they got permission from Tesla to release this video as 3V Gateway isn’t officially out yet

They call out in the video that the wall connector will come off a breaker in the 3V Gateway. Does anyone know how this would work (if it even can at all) when you have two meters?

I have my main meter powering my house and an EV only/time of use meter that goes to my 2018 version (v2?) wall connector. I got a confirmation that I was eligible and good to go for the powershare install, so I assume there is a way, but I don't understand how that would work

Not only is 3V not “officially” out yet.. the PowerShare firmware isn’t out yet either.

It’s definitely commissioned. We can’t leave a job site without commissioning.

The powershare firmware isn’t out until June

he can still charge his car

Perhaps i used the wrong terminology, commissioned to me means fully functional.

Currently, it is fully functional, except for the ability to send power from the CT into the house. He should now be able to monitor his consumption through the Tesla app. Additionally, if he has solar, he should also be able to view his production. Tesla expects to release this update in June.

thats not fully functional then. but it dosnt matter yea we knew the software was lagging behind, seems understandable. 4 months seems a little long tho to me. and for me ill probbally end up not paying for it anyways due to the price and just backfeed using the 14-50 in the truck

The power splits as it enters my main meter, and that split goes off to a second meter that has a discount rate for EV charging only. I attached some pics with the last one showing how it's routed

This page talks about the second meter under EV Rate (D1.9)

Gateway will simply house your main breaker and provide you whole house backup including the separate EV meter

Well this is confusing. The Tesla PowerShare site says No additional equipment required when homes are equipped with Powerwall and Wall Connector. But in the video they talk about installing the 3V gateway. So which is it?!?!? Do you or do you not need the new gateway if you have a Powerwall and wall connector already?
