Not true. I have PowerWall 2s and have the charge from grid option.
I agree:
True = Tesla service is terrible and prone to lying
False = The new features are only available to Powerwall+ customers

I wonder why Tesla is making it difficult on Sunrun? Maybe to hobble competitors installations?I agree:

I know I was told Sunrun installs would not qualify. They did not know why.I wonder why Tesla is making it difficult on Sunrun? Maybe to hobble competitors installations?
"If you really want grid charging, you have to buy it through us"
FWIW: I have three Powerwall 2 units and have grid charging as an option... PG&E aka "Reddy Killowatt" territory.Agreed, I have (5) Powerwall 2 and have grid charging as an option.
I didn't buy the Powerwalls via Tesla, did you?I wonder why Tesla is making it difficult on Sunrun? Maybe to hobble competitors installations?
"If you really want grid charging, you have to buy it through us"
If Tesla downgrades all of the PW2 that do have grid charging then @holeydonut will need to be blocked from all future product feature upgrade discussions.And you don't have the Powerwall+
I still am beside myself at Tesla's rep lying to me and Sunrun like this. That was a 3 way conference call and the Tesla rep was like "yes only Powerwall+. Powerwall 2 does not qualify".
The No Export feature is limited to PW+. This is because it has to continuously adjust solar inverter output to match house consumption. PW+ can do this, PW2 can not. My old microinverters can not support this either.Tesla Powerwall support rep said he was told by his supervisor that the extra features are only for people with the new Powerwall+
No, I bought them from the company I also work for.I didn't buy the Powerwalls via Tesla, did you?
All the best,

Of course "never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.". Although I can imagine it is a combination of ignorance and just trying to get you off the phone.And you don't have the Powerwall+

Same hereAgreed, I have (5) Powerwall 2 and have grid charging as an option.
Out of curiosity, did you get both the export anything option and grid charging, or just the latter?I went on Tesla Chat and asked them to enable it for me and they did. It now shows up on my APP
Currently only have the Energy Exports option with Solar or Everything (which wasn’t there before) but he said the grid charging should appear by tomorrow as it takes an hour or more to cycle. He confirmed it was enabled at his endOut of curiosity, did you get both the export anything option and grid charging, or just the latter?

Correct. I have the PW 2Gahhhh that's the option I want... I don't want grid charging.
You have "normal Powerwall 2" right? No Powerwall+ ?
Thank you for your comments. I was just able to get Tesla Chat to "fix" my settings too and it immediately showed up in the app while we were chatting (it actually set itself to everything which I will monitor).Correct. I have the PW 2
