All that you say is true. However, imagine a day not too far off when every home has a 3-D printer. Buying the composite material , the non-printable components and paying the license fee for the design (or pulling one from public domain) means I can get a 2nd car or a commuter vehicle built in my own garage for the investment of a few weekends. That makes the 44 hour print time essentially a non-issue.
Not everyone will want to build their own car just as some people don’t like mowing their own lawn but it could easily be possible and could be very competitive.

It could also be one of those “death by a thousand cuts” things. Microbreweries had no impact on Budweiser - until there were a few thousand of them
