Canadian snowbirds drive their cars and RVs into the US all the time all the way down to the southern states

There's just a limit to how long the car can be in the US

So lease for a year at a time from Canada

Musk himself was an illegal Canadian import so hey only fair lol

There you go, so someone turn that into a frictionless service

Every year you just exchange the car/lease/plate whatever

Once enough people drive $5000 electric cars they will insist politicians allow them officially
