Tesla does collect LIDAR data (people have seen them doing it, it's just not on all of the cars) and they do generate depth maps from sensor data, but from the examples I've seen it is much lower resolution than these Waymo examples.

Tesla does it to map the areas to come up with high def maps for areas where their cars try to operate.

Tesla uses lidar to train their models to generate depth data out of camera input. I don’t think they have any high definition maps.
