It appears that: Tesla bought this all-in-one ARM board from Parrot, and Parrot gave them a 2.6.36 kernel with thousands of custom patches in, and Tesla's not in much of a position to port it to a newer kernel, and then Parrot presumably went on to building other stuff and ignored keeping this kernel up to date and now we're here. They (probably Parrot) might have updated it in the last year since the vulnerability was discovered though, it's hard to tell.
