Tesla has talked about how the drivetrain control is separate from the software that controls the car's screens, entertainment systems and so forth, and that you could still safely drive the car if this secondary software for some reason "crashes".

I was wondering if these over-the-air updates are for both drivetrain and secondary systems or just secondary systems. It occurred to me that if they were able to implement "creep", they must be touching the drivetrain software through these updates.

Is this cause for concern? Could a bad flash of the drivetrain software potentially introduce some sort of safety issue? I'm sure Tesla tests these things out, but just the same...
