So if they can do it...I'd say that "yes" IF Detroit & the oil industry weren't holding hands they could do anything they wanted to faster and better than a few guys in TESLA's garage can. But there is a lot of money still left to make in oil.

One can hope. The tesla is a specialty luxury car tho in it's current state and pricepoint, a bit like a delorean. People have been watching tesla for a while hoping that a silicon valley approach to carbuilding can produce a faster leaner manufacturing process.
No joy yet. The tesla folks have said they were shocked by how hard it was to manufacture a car at an acceptable pricepoint.
The wave disk engine looks like it should be cheap and easy to make, a slam-dunk improvement to the hybrid class of cars.
We will see.
