"Who then maintains the proprietary software that keeps the vehicle running?"
There are a number of Tesla vehicles out in the wild that for various reasons no longer connect to Tesla and do not receive over-the-air software updates. Some of them are running software versions that are now several years old.
Sure, they don't get the latest software features or UI design, but as a car they still work just fine.
