Will that Tesla S be the same in 2045 to 2090, or even in 2120? It's looking like the answer is no. The only ones left will be mounted on platforms in car museums. There will not be auto shows featuring real Tesla cars, because the electronics will be dead and impossible to fix. No reasonable part replacement will be possible because of digital signatures.
We'll see some car bodies that get hollowed out and then draped over the innards of newer cars. Somebody already got an unsupported Tesla S running again by installing a gasoline engine, even cutting through the floor to install a transmission tunnel.
