So there's quite a few timelines where a Nazi Germany that was victorious in WWII ends up in a cold war against the USA. Usually those timelines ends up in one of the 3 conclusions:

-nukes fly and everyone dies.
-mostly conventional WWIII either ending in the conquest of the USA (the more ASB ish option) or [far more likely] the Nazis getting their face kicked in.
-Cold War that ends with the Nazis collapsing due to their economic failures (paralleling the fall of the USSR OTL)

So the question asked here is that how, if at all possible (in this case nothing ASB-ish) for Nazi Germany to win against the USA in a Cold War that doesn't turn hot.

Additional variables (to narrow down the scenario):
-assume that for whatever reason the USA did not enter WWII on the allied side (because otherwise there's no way the allies would lose)
-assume that Nazi Germany have defeated the USSR, or at least gutted it.
-assume that the UK is still independent and not a puppet of Nazi Germany (Sealion wasn't gonna happen or successful barring ASB)
-try not go with "and then the USA grab the idiot ball" or "and they turned as evil as the enemies they fight against" as the question is intended to ask is whether the Nazi Germany (and their puppets) can compete economically against the USA & its allies at their best, rather than a cripple fight.
