I see so many people saying their car is rare or a unicorn. For example, many people think they should get more money for their car because it is a green P85+ car with AP1. Problem is, there is a reason it is is rare. It means that very few people wanted a green car when the P85+ cars with AP1 were being sold. If people weren't clamoring to order a green car then, they probably aren't going to be clamoring to get a green car now. Secondly, Tesla cancelled the green color. Obviously, companies don't stop production of something that is hugely popular. Now, in the case of the Signature colors, Tesla did not cancel them, they were simply designated as Signature car colors (and used to entice people to buy those signature cars and wouldn't be right to then make available to non-sig cars).
So, while rare can often mean a high or higher value (think of a rare coin), it doesn't always guarantee it. If the reason the particular item is rare is because no one wanted it to begin with, its rarity is not going to add value, and in fact, may actually hurt it (well, the reason that it wasn't desirable in the first place might hurt it).
