They already do this with farming equipment.

They have blueprints to build your own tractor with DIY materials from the hardware store.

Although open source cars might lead to tons of safety issues...

Nah man you’re compiling it yourself

Fully DIY stuff is usually a bad idea. Production lines have a purpose. Also when a component goes out of stock it usually becomes a hassle.

Repairability and spare parts are way more important
