re: Cheapest Car Brands to Maintain long term according to Consumer Reports

I've never owned a Tesla, but I've owned the rest of the top 5. It's a pretty solid list.
Currently have 3 Fords that get used daily, all over 15 years old. Only 1 of them has less than 100,00 miles.
I've never spent that much on maintenance on any of them.
I would drive any of them across the country at the drop of a hat.
