You can't build a car out of iron ore either. You have to smelt it. You have to form it. You also need to gather other materials (or make them) like rubber, plastics, aluminum, copper, tungsten. various rare earths, lead, sulfur, very pure silicon, tin, antimony, glass, and of course the refined hydrocarbons to use as fuel.
Electric cars further require lots of lithium oxides to be smelted and formed into batteries in strict cleanroom like conditions, and of course the electrical grid and the fuels to run it are necessary to fuel this car as well.
A lot of work goes into designing a car.
not to mention designing it intelligently.....
