You can try hotspotting with your phone, why not?
Put an extra battery pack charger on it to keep it live.
The car's USB and cigarette lighter socket go dead when car is off.
Its not clear to me if once the car has awoken its urge to update maps, if it keeps trying at every wifi opportunity thereafter to finish the deed... or if it gives up and goes dormant waiting for some new stimulus to wake the urge to try again. In other words, just because you get wifi connected will it start up on its own, or was there something about riding the tails of a new firmware push that is needed to poke maps downkoad into action?
I guess once you're in a good wifi position, can't hurt to call Tesla and ask for a requeuing of the firmware install.
