The article clearly addresses this point. It mentions that many often store their powerwalls outside of their home and have battery manage systems to monitor the health of their powerwalls (i.e. power down when too hot).

If it's not UL listed, you're getting bupkis from insurance if it catches fire. As simple as that.
