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
You see them occasionally in southern California with Mexican plates
