It looks feasible to me, as it appears to only peg into the hands and slides or clips over the side panels.
I would love for it to be true that you can somehow leave the rear end of the vehicle attached as you convert to robot mode, but it doesn't seem possible. The hole where the back kibble plugs into the robot mode is located on the bottom of the car mode, just past half-way from the rear end to the front bumper. I suppose you could finagle the arms such that you pull one of the red tabs out of the fist, lift out the black tab to connect to the back hole, and then maneuver the other arm over to the hole and plug it in before taking the other red tab out of the other fist. That way, the pieces is always pegged into something, even if it's completely removeable from the rest of the figure. The drawback may be that, putting the back kibble in place before transforming the rest of the figure, particularly the legs and torso, might get in the way of that process. I'm going to have to watch the conversion several more times to get a good idea of what goes where when.
EDIT:
I took another look at the video, and I don't think it really works out not completely removing that back piece for transformation. The kibble would make it nearly impossible to transform the legs back and forth because of how everything folds up and flips around during the conversion.
