Why do people still go for tesla powerwalls when you can get BYD batteries with 70%+ more capacity for cheaper ?

You can buy a BYD HVM 22.1 kWh for 6000 euros now (£5200) vs powerwall 2 13.5kwh for 7000 euros.

Or you can by a car instead. An MG4 costs less than 20000 euros with a 51kWh LFP battery. In addition to a good battery, it's a great car as well.

(Yes, yes: insert Musk related joke here.)
