    New Powerwall Advanced Options [Toggles for charging from and discharging to grid from powerwalls]

    Not quite—the utility has smart inverter control over solar inverters (including the Powerwall+ solar inverter) while on-grid, not the Powerwall. Powerwall uses similar controls (e.g., microgrid frequency changes) while off-grid, but it cannot and will not mess with the grid to control other...

    New Powerwall Advanced Options [Toggles for charging from and discharging to grid from powerwalls]

    According to the support page, yes, the Permission to Export setting is available for Powerwall+. Because of the integrated solar inverter, Powerwall+ has more direct control over how much solar is exported to the grid, where it can't with other solar inverters.

    - Firmware versions are measured with weeks, so there won't be a .36, .37, .38 — Tesla does not have a history of cutting releases that often - There is some additional functionality available with 21.39, but the overall functionality is already available.

    Utility Rate Plans Where are they?

    You very definitely want sell prices populated—or else you're telling your Powerwall you get $0 for exporting energy. If you don't have a precise number to populate, an estimate value is better than a less accurate zero or blank value.

    Indeed, there's also a paragraph on the Tesla website about how Powerwall charging behavior can change with seasons.

    Tesla app version 4.0.0 has app re design for both car and energy

    Generally speaking, this Power Flow is actually more accurate. It’s not that some current selectively goes from your Solar directly to the Grid and Powerwall power goes direct to home—it’s still all one system, and your loads all connect through the “hub” that is your load center/main panel/etc...
