There are a number of companies working on 'in vivo' deliveries for CARs. Oftentimes using the same tools as proven out by the Moderna vaccine.

Yes, but that way you lose control over the dose, and to an extent over CAR-T characteristics. CAR-T therapy is usually used in patients who already had multiple rounds of chemo and their immune cells are generally not in a great shape. Even with 'traditional' CARs you occasionally get manufacturing failures since the cells are too exhausted to expand in vitro or have already lost their effector functions.
