Boycott US

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

You're right, that was from a few years ago...

Their gross margin was 20%, up from 16% last year, and automotive margins actually increased from 15% to 18%.

The thing is though Tesla doesn't have any reason to sell cars cheaper. If the cost of a car from a dealership is X money they're going to base their cars value off that. They also don't need to undercut competition because they didn't really have any competition for the first few years and now the brand recognition (arguably most important part of selling cars) allows them to keep prices high as competitors entered their market.
