I was thinking more like scripts. You load scripts, it interprets them.

A script is a type of software, so that's not really a big difference.

I don't know about Tesla specifically, but if I was making a car that was intended to be moddable like this, I would have a hardware interface of some sort, and expect the mod to call a public API. This is similar to how cell phones can connect via USB and have some functionality.
