Check out Tesla Firmware Upgrade Tracker Web App, you will see that updates that have been installed on Model 3s have NOT been on S/X and vice versa. Pretty sure that means that they hard code the hardware differences between the two screens and kinds of cars.

Oh I’m aware, some were speculating that they MIGHT start unifying the FW, so that the same version is sent to all cars, but your car only installed the relevant bits. Now I think that sending more data than necessary, so I can see a case for not doing that for sure. I’m just saying we don’t know anything either way till we see confirmation.
Once the codebase is converged (they were definitely separate in the past), it’s just a matter of setting build flags when you’re ready and you can output the same software for multiple target architectures or platforms. I do this regularly.
