As with most laws, first someone has to do something really stupid for others to say “we should probably write this down in the rule book and not allow others to do this.”
Elon and his designers are basically doing things that other car designers aren’t dumb enough to do.
But there are countries all around the world. You can find yourself a loophole in one country but then you can't sell your car in all the countries that loophole doesn't exist
Let me introduce you to Elon musk...
But they've been doing the same dumb shit with brake and turn signals for decades and no one has done anything about it. They'll have one set for Europe to comply with local regulations and then design and engineer a whole other set for the US just to have the wrong colors.
