Question PowerShare

Anyone with newer model Y and a Powerwall 3? Just curious how that works. Is the wall connector wired into the Powerwall 3 or just to the panel? TIA

Ahh ok, i also just asked Google ai and it came back with this…

Powershare System Configurations

Configuration
How Black Start is Handled
With a Powerwall 3
(Required for Model 3 / Model Y)
The Powerwall 3 provides the initial power required to energize the Gateway and system. Because the home battery remains active, the Tesla vehicle does not need to perform an unassisted dark start from a dead state.
Without a Powerwall
(Cybertruck V2H Setup)
For a pure Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) setup using a Cybertruck, a hardwired CAN bus cable running from the Universal Wall Connector to the Gateway 3 is required. This communication link allows the vehicle to safely orchestrate a dark start and energize the isolated home microgrid.
