You are right. I need to head back to the dealership. I'd hate to make the wrong choice.

You need to add the 150kw/400v on-board charger, to give you faster charging at 400v DC fast charging stations like many Tesla superchargers.
Car comes with summer tires standard. If you want all-season tires, they are an option.
Consider adaptive cruise control. It adds hardware that permits you to get innodrive and active lane keeping in the future as OTA updates.
I can't tell from the configurator if your front seats are heated or not. Heated seats can come in handy, particularly if cabin heater eventually fails, which has happened to some of us.
Consider the option for colored Porsche center caps on wheels. A nice touch.

I’d go full leather. To me, it doesn’t feel premium without.
I’d also consider seeing what they have “in”, there’s big discounts available on new stock cars at present.

Thank you, I really appreciate your input. Enjoy those kiddos because it goes by way too fast. My husband tweaked my build and I am going for the Chalk leather. I'll be doing the PPF and am going to find out how much ceramic costs as well.

Thank you, I decided to order because I can't find all the options I want. My husband is going to try and negotiate a discount on the order.

Just updated my configurator. Thank you for your input. I really appreciate it. That's crazy that the heat went out.

Nice build, OP! Glad to see you picked the window trim in high gloss black. The full leather makes the interior in my opinion, but the final choice is yours. I encourage you to see the difference between default and full leather at a dealership.

PS there won't be any red interiors on our cars. I got a black Cayenne loaner with a red interior and my wife called it the Pimpmobile.

I have the two tone black limestone beige leather on gentian blue. It works really well in my opinion. Pictures don't do justice because it's lighter in person. On your car colour choice you have several options like the Bordeaux red.

Pimpmobile. Lol, I like your wife!! I decided to go with the full leather because of all of the great advice I received here. I love the red but think the white or chalk is more girlie. New build

I am just catching up on this thread. I have Ice Grey with Black/Chalk that is the way to go if the theme is monochrome contrast and modern. All our cars have light seats and no issues with jeans or wear, there are simple cleaning instructions in the manual for leather perforated seats, just clean them once in a while what Porsche says to do. Otherwise, if I am to chime in on the rest of the build:

- I would select Mission-E wheels in body color Ice Grey as standard Silver does not go and they tend to wear out as clear coat on them seems not very good.

- I do not think you are gaining anything with Pedals in Aluminum and Dashcam pre-wire is useless, but missing this E-Mobility Option that is now essential add:

Black/Chalk interior in real life is amazing and goes well with Ice Grey. This is in realistic in the garage during the day lighting.

Also, Mission-E in Ice Grey is the way to go and the contrast to Gloss Black on them is just stunning over White PSCB calipers.

Cosmetics are what you will look at every day so whatever gives you that little thrill every time you look at the car is the right call for you. But you really should consider the 150kW/400V charger option if you are going to road trip at all and think we/Porsche will eventually get access to the Tesla Supercharger network. Cheap entry fee to a vastly better charging network and access seems inevitable.

You need to add this to your revised build. Just do it!

Also I hope you are planning to get a non-Porsche brand home charger/EVSE. There are some good threads on this forum about home charging equipment. Don't depend on the Porsche Mobile Charger Plus that comes with the Taycan to do the job.
