    Every 1st party option makes a new SKU, and they grow factorially. This causes lots of complications for production that make it incredibly expensive. Which is why you only see order selection like this on supercars. Low production count super expensive.

    The key is that cars today are so complicated and expensive to produce. The laws force manufacturers to have all the modern saftey systems and pollution controls. The options are the only place the manufacturers make real money. Also why you see 80k versions of 50k cars.
