From what I've read about Tesla's software this could be a bold move.
Between the infotainment system, onboard Linux computer, autopilot, self-driving hardware, OTA updates, mobile apps, and the amount they phone home, Tesla are probably doing some of the most advanced computing in any consumer car (some deconstructions have suggested they are miles ahead here, pardon the pun).
This is great, but it all comes with additional surface area for attacks, and software engineers have spoken out about the fast paced shipping that happens at Tesla and the corners that are cut as a result.
