Embedded firmware to run individual components is one thing and a software running on CPU for your entire car is another. My random 2016 Subaru is like this. I haven't needed to update any firmware on my cars parts since buying it. It just works as it is mostly mechanical. For a Tesla they apparently get software updates all the time like it constantly needs bug fixes.

Maybe you can't just replace that part because you need some special software to configure the firmware that you can only get if you're a certified mechanic.
