Wouldn’t it be even cheaper to design the next version modularly and interchangeable?
The extra labor to manage more components and check/verify each single vehicle fits it’s unique specs would eat up the saving really fast. It’s so much easier to do a single HW config and manage it through SW, and electronic components are generally cheap.

That would require more logistics to get different modules, checks to make sure the right ones are installed and labor to install them. Somewhere there is a cutoff point where modularity is cheaper.
