couldnt they set up their own cdn or is redistribution of google maps cache files disallowed as a result of the existing Terms of Service?

  Even at the corporate tier there's a whole lot of restrictions on caching Google Maps. I suspect someone at Tesla could make a call and get that sorted out, though.

    Tesla's new navigation system no longer uses Google Maps. It's now a vector based system using Mapbox data and Valhalla routing. Hence the large size of this update: the entire base map is now stored in the car rather than downloading local tiles as needed.

      That's a big win for Mapbox - good on them.
