I'd really like to see some numbers. I know that roughly wheat can fairly easily produce 75 bu/A at a sale price of $6.30. And on large farms only 2-3 workers can produce that on 1500 acres. So, about $700,000 worth.
How many auto workers does it take to produce $700,000 worth of vehicles? I have no idea.

I guess I'm thinking about how many jobs are involved in producing equivalent amounts of product. Is that something to consider?
I suppose I cold try to find, say, the value of light vehicles (autos and light trucks) produced by GM and divide by the unmber of total employees.
It just seems to me like farming needs fewer jobs to produce the same amount of value. But it's just a top of my head guess.
If it does, that means we can grow cars more cheaply than we build them. Following out your argument, we are better off with less efficient technologies — should dig ditches with spoons instead of shovels.
