Because it's not about money, it's about respect.

How about I don't pay the invoice, because we're such good "friends"?
I guess Trump doesn't help, but it's also easy to point the finger. If eating at a fast food chain is no longer fast, cheap nor food (let's be honest). Is it then strange that sales are declining?
As a Dutchman, I agree we have great infrastructure and "walking" cities. But you've only seen Amsterdam. Outside of the cities, The Netherlands is more dependent on cars than you might think. I live on the border of the country and public transport is basically non existent and cycling is not viable due to travel distances, every adult has a car in my area. A family of 4 adults (children over 18 living at home) have 4 cars parked in front of their house here. We're not as car dependent as the US, but we don't live in a fairytale either.
Better start now, the US might need a new one soon. /s
A smart contract as the declaration of independence would be awesome though.
EA: hold my beer
For example: in FC25 you can have 14 ms ping to the server, but still have a laggy experience as if you are playing with 1,400,000 ping.
It's even become mandatory by communities in some games, which is something I hate with passion. For instance, many MMORPG communities are on Discord these days (e.g. Guild Wars 2, more specifically the raiding scene).
So I subscribed to these communities and started using Discord. I still don't get the appeal, it's a cluttered mess all over the place and it doesn't feel intuitive to use. Maybe I'm getting old...
I don't buy that. I live on the other side of the planet and I know what project 2025 is and its key action points. It's not just foreign media that were reporting on it. I also watch some US late night shows, especially when a major event like an election is about to happen. Most late night shows also discussed project 2025 at length.
Curious if this argument also works for other situations? "I didn't file my taxes, because it would take too long".
Wouldn't that just allow Trump to install one of his puppets?
Interesting, so how did they feel when Elon did the "Roman salute"? Romans basically walked around in skirts as well...
Ah well, I think reason left the US long ago.
"But the low sales numbers were just potential buyers delaying their purchase, because the new Model Y will release soon."
Safe to say that we finally have evidence that people weren't delaying. It's also not the car either, the car is fine and very competitive. I drive a Model 3 and I drove a couple competitor cars, therefore I know Tesla is up there with the competition. That is Volkswagen, Toyota and the large volume brands, I don't view Tesla as a luxury brand like BMW and Mercedes though.
So what else is there? I'd wager having a Nazi as CEO doesn't help sales at all. I'm in a mid class bubble in The Netherlands where many in my bubble can afford or even actively looked at purchasing a Tesla, all of them say the same thing: I do not support Nazi's and by extension try to buy as little US made products as I can. This is the same customer base that 5 years ago would definitely have bought a Tesla in a heartbeat. Tesla will continue to lose with Musk at the helm.
