You're assuming each different version of this map database will have a different filename? I dont think you've thought this through. Everything in software engineering seems simple if you dont look at the details. You're saying it would be easy to do deltas. I'm saying its not as easy as you think, and secondly why should they bother when there's probably a thousand more important requirements on their to-do list right now. Thats whats real-world projects are like.

You're assuming each different version of this map database will have a different filename? It'll have whatever Tesla wants it to have. Even if they receive the file as a binary blob, they can attach whatever metadata they want when transferring it to the car. A filename would just be what I'd use, but the specific format is irrelevant. Everything in software engineering seems simple if you dont look at the details. (...) And some actually are. But in any case, I never actually said it was simple. I rebutted specific reasons you gave. Is it complicated for other reasons? Sure, maybe, who knows.
