I'm not one to complain on internet forums (I guess other than the fact that I'm on my 8th tire...) but as one of the original Dream Edition pre-order folks, am I wrong to be a bit ticked that there are more Dream Editions in production?
In all markets, whether car, art, baseball cards, books, coins, or otherwise, there is a premium paid for "limited editions"- the reason being right there in the verbiage. They are limited, and, therefore, have an intangible value greater than an asset that is not limited in number. "X" (that is my Econ 101 supply and demand emoji).
And I am ego-aware enough to fully admit there is a certain cachet in owning a limited edition of something.
So, going back to my question- when an asset is sold with the understanding that it is a limited edition, and that the limited editions are capped at 520, and a purchase is made at a certain value taking into account that the asset being purchased is limited to only 520, am I wrong to be torqued off that there are suddenly an unknown number MORE "limited" editions suddenly appearing on the market?
I will caveat to say that it obviously does not diminish the pure joy I feel when driving my Lucid, limited edition or otherwise, and I do not regret, and I would not change anything going back. I love my Lucid.
I DO think there is a chilling effect for future purchasers.
And I DO think that it's a bit of a slap in the face of those of us who put out a large amount of cash on a gamble of a product with the (supposed) understanding that those of us that did would own one of only 520 Lucid Dream Editions.
And I WOULD be mollified if Lucid came and applied the Midnight Package to my current Midnight Black Dream Edition as a show of apology and support to the original 520...
