What are the implications for US passport holders in Thailand regarding 90-day reporting as of March 1, 2023?

I think you'll find many, perhaps even a majority? of westerners residing in Thailand aren't work permit holders.

I meant you're one of the few who hasn't been asked for proof of residency when getting a car loan or obtaining a driver's license.

You must also be the only farang in Thailand who's obtained a car loan without being employed in Thailand. That is unless you used MBK finance, who specialize in loans for foreigners/expats, including those who don't work in Thailand.

You must be one of the few, because generally they want a residency affidavit for all license applications or renewals.

However, for other services such as to apply for or extend a car passport (to drive to Laos) you'll find the main Chatuchak office doesn't require one, while smaller offices do.

Work permit holders can use their work permit to verify their address.
