"If you’ve ever ... peaked at the dash of your obnoxious neighbor’s new Tesla…you’ve used OSM."

1. peeked, not peaked

2. Teslas do not use OSM for the on-screen maps. They use Google maps. Tesla only uses OSM for the data regarding parking lot layouts for the automatic parking features, nothing else.

I've heard that claimed. But on several occasions tesla owners have found a problem with nav, found the error on OSM, fixed it, and 1-2 months later the Tesla picks up change. From what I can tell Tesla pays some 3rd party to help improve their maps, and apparently on of the data feeds the 3rd party uses is OSM.
Ah ha! Thanks, I will make a note of it.
yes there's a google watermark on all maps displayed
