TN Visa - Car Import Necessary?

I am a Canadian Citizen in Canada, and am planning on applying for my first TN status in 2 weeks. I am trying to find out if I can drive my car to Oregon without formally importing it immediately? I asked for the compliance letter from the manufacturer, but I'm trying to plan ahead in case I do not receive the letter in time.

I phoned the CBP and asked, and they just sent me a link to: https://cbpcomplaints.cbp.gov/kA0t0000000CiS5?name=Temporary-Importation-of-a-personal-vehicle&language=en_US

This is confusing to me, because as a Canadian I believe I can have a car in the USA for 1 year with just registration/insurance and a driver's license, and this link is stating 90 days and requires a approval letter from the EPA.

Essentially I just want to know, if I try to drive across the border to get my TN visa, will I get stopped if I don't have the paperwork to import the car on the spot? I understand there's timeline limitations on registering/insuring/importing it, I just don't want to have to turn around at the border. I'm just not sure on how it works because it says 1 year limit is for non-residents, and I'm not sure how I'll be classified.

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
