I'm just waiting for that glorious day when I can, in fact, download a car.
Technically you can do so now. But you would need a metal 3D printer to build it (or make it out of plastic I guess). I remember reading something about a dude who bought a industrial 3D printer setup just so he could print out a Rolls Royce Phantom.
Printing the externals is doable today, though definitely expensive, simply from the volume of material needed, even if you can outsource or rent a big enough 3D printer (I'd probably print out of nylon powder or something similar)*.
With the exterior printed, just slap an electric motor somewhere and you're golden (after setting up the whole rest of the car, of course)
*Actually, i'd probably print a neat looking bike frame and maybe some protection, way less material needed
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
