Folks, are there any updates on generator support? We're finishing up building a new house, and I'd love to add powerwalls to the solar design, esp. now that the supply seems to be available. However I have a 30 KW generator (it's a big house) for backup power, as well as the associated transfer switch, and it doesn't appear anyone knows of a way to use powerwalls in this setup.

I had heard that tesla had be fielding a beta capability for generator support, but my installer hasn't heard of any. It would also be nice if the gateway had 400A support, but I can work around that if the generator issue was dealt with.

I wish Tesla would design their stuff to work with other people's gear rather than requiring vertical integration and then not support a diverse set of configurations.
