Factories have similar maintenance crew to fix issues on the factory floor as well as crew to perform scheduled preventative maintenance. My use of the term maintenance costs encompasses all costs associated with maintaining use of school buses.

I would expect a fleet to be replaced over time rather than a single summer break for a variety of reasons. It gives factories steady orders to fulfill, maximizes the use of the vehicles already paid for, gives maintenance crew time to retire rather than be laid off, etc, etc.

I'd like Tesla's next project be a school bus, dump truck, or package delivery van.
