Tesla panels and total price after installation is too high to be competitive- only the Powerwall enthusiasts buy panels+powerwalls from tesla. Other panels are so cheap these days and EG4 makes excellent power storage options.

Last year I asked them for a Powerwall quote and was told that I can't get powerwall without their solar panels

You can do this if you use an approved third party installer. I just installed a large solar array with non-Tesla panels but using two of the latest Powerwalls as inverter and storage

Why use a Powerwall if you could use a better and cheaper inverter battery combination? Just because the app is beautiful?

Yes, that's the only possibility right?

In case you wanted a serious answer and not just an internet reaction: our utility offered substantial rebates on Powerwalls specifically.
