Not if manufacturers are federally prohibited from complying with the requirements of your registration conditions; there won’t be anything qualified for you to register.

I think it is a more of interstate commerce issue. We buy the cars make them legal to operate in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and never use them outside the Commonwealth.

Wickard v. Fillburn (1942) says that's not how the Interstate Commerce power works.

I would, but the US Supreme Court in Gonzalez v. Raich, 545 U.S. 1 (2005) already did; the current state of nonenforcement of federal prohibition agaimst state-authorized use isn't from a Constitutional limit due to the interstate commerce clause, but from a federal law adopted by Congress, specifically, an appropriations rider adopted in each spending bill since 2014 prohibiting DoJ from spending funds to enforce federal marijuana laws against certain acts whetr authorized by state law.

Great, thank you for the roadmap.

That is a pretty convoluted process to do not enforce a law.
