Their original idea was to dump most of the money into things that we the consumers cannot readily modify after purchasing the vehicle (i.e. chassis, driving position, ergonomics, etc). The upscaling and gadgetry were probably from the marketing dept.
Unless they change to high cost materials it will never get lighter than when first released. Minimum weight while meeting all requirements and the target price point was the goal from day one. It has already gained weight since the beginning and will only go up.
