Thanks for the info. I am in the pipeline so I will be sure to ask for those. Do you have more info on them, like size, model?
The other question to ask is how many have been installed and reliability.
ps. when did you start the process?

Not too much info on the new gateway. This article, Tesla Begins Rolling Out Its Sexy New "Mini-Powerwall" Backup Gateway 2 Hardware | CleanTechnica has some info. This youTube video also has some info,
Regarding the SolarGlass roof, we put our $100 deposit down Oct 31.
I dont know if anyone in the US has gotten that gateway 2 as of yet. When I was looking into it, it seemed that it was only being installed outside the US. I know that I got gateway 1 for my install last week, and I didnt even ask about gateway 2 because reading in this section seemed to indicate it was not ready for US yet for some reason.
edit, here is one thread, but a few more pop up when I search gateway 2 in this section:

I think you have to have certain number of posts before you can edit. And even when enabled, the edit option disappears after an hour or 2.
No problem. I think it would be really easy to tell between the two, because what I see from the pictures, Gateway 2 looks like a mini powerwall. Gateway 1 is your standard grey box, which looks like a load center / breaker box.

You can see that gateway 2 looks like a mini powerwall, with the tesla lettering and everything. Gateway 1 is a grey box that looks like every other eletrical utility load center box.

The EDiT feature should be just to the left of that REPORT and should last longer than 6 minutes of 2nd post.

I believe that was the first case I mentioned, not enough posts (only shows 3 posts) to enable editing. Maybe one the mods can clear this up.

This UK site has a nice side by side photo of a PW2 next to a GW2. I love the look of Gateway 2 naturally as it looks like the beautifully designed PW. We are in the process of working out details for an install now and really would like this instead of the ugly, heavier and larger GW1 that doesn't support a LTE/4G connection. If it doesn't come out until later in the year (no official word), we are trying to weigh what do to as far as install time. Apart from the aesthetics and other factors would be when 3G will be phased out?

My understanding is that the Gateway2 is not designed for the U.S. It is designed for 3-phase electric or 240v single phase which neither of these are standard U.S. homes. This is again only from what I have read. I do prefer the looks of the Gateway2.... I actually had been thinking of trying to make my Gateway1 look like the GW2... below is a pic of the PowerWall2 next to GateWay2.
The thing is, it (gateway 1) doesnt look nearly as out of place as you think it would, because its next to other grey boxes. Its normally close to the new Load Center (breaker box) they put in, which is a grey box. Also, the cellular connection is a backup connection for almost everyone. You will connect the gateway to your home internet via either wireless, wired, or both. The gateway will use the "strongest" is what the installer said, but Its likely also the "cheapest for tesla" so I would imagine it prioritizes wired, then wireless internet, then if BOTH of those are out, THEN cellular.
The gateway 1 being a grey box next to the other grey box(es) doesnt look out of place at all, IMO so while I get the asthetics, I dont think it would be something I would hesitate to install over. You definitely want to be installed before the PSPS' start back up, for example.. and nothing I have seen about gateway 2 says to hesitate, other than its appearance.
