My application to township was submitted last week, for two PW2s.
Any word on cost difference between PW2 and PW3?
Is storage capacity significantly greater on PW3?

No one has any idea on pricing or timeline, just speculation. Storage capacity is supposed to be the same, that is about all we know at this point.
Manufacturing costs are expected to be lower for PW3 but this may not translate to the retail price.

I seem to recall them mentioning there would be a new version of the Powerwall about six months ago or maybe a little earlier this year. Has that been launched or is it still imminent?
Exciting days ahead!
I'd be interested to see what the CAD plans look like if you might share them.

@andy92782 what are the dimensions of the Powerwall you received? PW3 is considerably smaller than PW2.
The installer said this was only the third PW3 he's done so far. It contains the inverter.
Size is approx. 43"x24"x7".
The circuit breaker in the Backup Gateway 2 which connects to the PW3 is in fact 60A.
Job should hopefully be finished tomorrow after which they'll power it up.
The installers insisted on running a ground wire from the system to the main water line feed in front of the house. They did an extremely ghetto job of routing it. I will forcefully ask them to re-route it in a more aesthetically pleasing manner.

Awesome! So it does actually exist! My order is going in soon.
Can you take some pics of the specs on the side of the powerwall?

One more question.
Just kidding, you have enough already.

The lockout is for the ON (enable PV) side of the switch, no the OFF/ shutdown side.
Thanks for posting the pics.
In addition to the grounding wire, I suggest addressing that EMT (Electrical Metat Tubing, aka "conduit") coming in to the top. A proper offset will have the conduit coming in at a right angle. That is (or rather, should be), a liquid-tight fitting, which requires the plastic washer to be properly captured between the box and the color on the fitting. See the yellow washer on the left-side fitting for example.
That top one not only also looks ghetto, but it's not going to keep water out, and on top is the worst spot, as water will pool and run down inside...
