I received confirmation today from my solar company here in so Cali they are receiving about 120qt Gateway 2. Since my gateway one needs to be replaced they can't get the electronics for the gateway 1 on RMA fast so I requested a gateway 2 and waiting to hear back how they want to proceed but it is happening for CONUS customers.
Other than just wanting the latest and greatest is there any good reason to want the Gateway 2? Does it have any must-have features now or will any be enabled through software in the future?
So if I'm planning to hardwire with ethernet I'm assuming the 4G thing doesn't matter too much. What does the accuracy in reporting mean realistically?big change is 4G support and better accuracy on reporting
The 4G would be used to maintain communication with Tesla should your home internet go down. It's common for ISP equipment to have limited battery/generator capacity. So during a larger/longer power outage, it's not uncommon for people to loose internet access.So if I'm planning to hardwire with ethernet I'm assuming the 4G thing doesn't matter too much.

Are you saying the traffic level is 2.5 Kilobyte per second (kB/s)? Good old dial-up (56 kb/s) was theoretically 3 times faster than that.That's correct but I would take advantage of the 4g to free congestion on your own network. Why have Tesla which in their own API sends about 2500B/s hog up your upload bandwidth for no reason. The accuracy portion is the measurement of the contactor legs on the AC side. What that means in real world results is likely negligible.
Just loading this page, was 3.2MB (3200KB). I don't think you're understanding how very tiny that amount of data is.That's just what the API allows, last time I checked it was 60KB/s that's without a software upload.
With that argument, one shouldn't connect their car to the home WiFi either. Hell, if you really don't trust Tesla, then maybe you shouldn't use AutoPilot...Plus the source isn't available so if you trust Tesla on your LAN that is your choice.
No, I'm fairly sure you're the one that can't do math... You've stated two different rates, 2.5 kB/s and 60 kB/s (KB/s is not correct notation for anything). Neither adds up to 2-3 GB per month.Lol, it's that kind of ignorant response that makes you a soft target. Do a little math and maybe 2-3GB a month might mean something. Do you even know the frequency of the polling or are you going to talk like you have a clue?
I find it odd that you trust Tesla to control high-voltage electrical flow in/out of your house, but they are somehow not trustworthy enough to be on your home network. Seems to me, the far greater risk is Tesla's ability to remotely manage your gateway and powerwall; not whatever foothold they might be able to get on your home network.What does a car have to do with a gateway discussion? Since you brought it up last I checked Tesla also had a cabin camera too, what could they possibly need that data for. You assume I drive a Tesla and care for a half baked autopilot.
You continue to do you.

For what it’s worth, both 2.5kB/s and 60kB/s would both be well over 2-3GB per month.
60kB/s x 60 seconds in a minute x 60 minutes in an hour x 24 hours in a day x 30 days in a month = 155,520,000 kB/month / 1024 kB in a MB / 1024 GB in a MB = 148GB/month
Doing the same calculation for 2.5kB/s works out to 6GB/month
148GB/month is definitely pretty significant, although I have a hard time believing that the gateway is really sending that much data.
6GB/month is much less significant and probably more realistic.
