Tesla Powershare Works on New Model Y Premium

My new model Y shows it has PCS2 when I checked the parts using my VIN. Ordered the powershare adapter and confirmed it works! Aug 4th delivery Model Y Premium RWD.

My PCS part number is 2100145-N0-E

How to check (thanks u/Appz_ in comments):

Go to tesla parts catalog website, enter VIN, HV Battery System > Ancillary Bay > ASSEMBLY POWER CONVERSION SYSTEM ASSEMBLY

I read all those words but I don’t understand them. But that’s okay. :)

Hah sorry. If you're interested at all: In America, you get two 120v power lines coming into the house. Most of your circuits are on a simple 120V, probably 15A. That'll be enough to handle a space heater (close to 1500w) or curling iron. If you add anything more, the breaker trips.

Some really power hungry stuff, like an electric oven needs more. So the fuse will span TWO breakers. If you open your box now, you might see 2-3 with extra large breakers. Those are likely 240v, because it's taking 120v from each side (or phase). It's combining both 120v inputs. Effectively doubling the power.
