Except that the factories are already booked out several months in advance. Manufacture of a car takes less than a day, delivery can be done within a week, but that doesn't help if the nearest available slot in the factory is 4 months away.
I think a custom vehicle ordered from a sales outlet, could be completed within 2 to 3 days, and shipped out, available to the customer within 7 to 10 days.
It would require pushing manufacturing forward in numerous ways, and retooling the entire process of making a car for this business model, but there's no reason that can't be done. It would already exist if the laws allowed for direct sales.
