Some of those options are easy to retrofit, others require assembling to order.
There is a reason why odd colors cost more. If they could change the color with software but the base color was white, it would be fair to only charge those who wanted to employ the tech for a fancy color and let the others have it at the old price (even though both customers have the enabling tech on board).
None of these get retrofitted on new cars. They're literally built to order unless you buy a demo vehicle or an in-stock vehicle and those usually don't have a lot of variety anyway, they're meant for fleets more than anything.
