Ok this is the build of a 2023 CT I am eying. Is there anything missing that I may be overlooking? Thanks, appreciate the feedback

This build has everything under the sun but the HUD and BM audio but those are expensive nice to haves and would not be on my list as "missing" from this thoughtful build.

PS: I did not notice ACC is not in the build after others pointed out. That is a major missing feature to me.

Almost the perfect build. Biggest item for me that this is missing that was, for me personally, a "must have" was ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control). Even if you don't want ALK/PID, those features can be added FOD (feature on demand). My '21 CT came with ACC, and after a trial of ALK/PID -- I'll keep ALK but won't keep PID. But without ACC, you cannot add ANY of those features.

So the question is, do you need/want adaptive cruise? Because without it, you're stuck. For many folks, conventional cruise control is suffice, so you may be perfectly happy with the build above. Coming from Tesla vehicles, Volvos with Pilot Assist, and other premium brands with ACC, it was for me a necessity.

You really have to determine how you intend to use the car and then determine the extent to which this build includes the items you require. Crowd sourcing opinions on options (particularly on forums) leads to creating a very long list of options for a theoretical person. Porsche allows you to essentially build a car like a tailored suit. This is someone’s else suit….its possible that it will fit you too but go do a build on Porsche’s website to figure that out for sure.

Same for me--GREAT BUILD but would be a NON-STARTER for me without ACC. I wouldn't buy a car without it.

Understood. But it is a long list of options

I think there’s everything I’d want. I have no interest in driver assistance tech other than parking sensors

just want to make sure there’s no glaring omission

Mine does not have ACC and I miss it, although auto regen can do a reasonable imitation of it in city traffic.

To me ACC is more of a safety feature than 'driver assistance' but if you don't value It, then this build looks pretty nice for sure.

Ya no. Never used cruise ever. I like my foot on the pedal, keeps me attentive

The only inner debate I’m having is mamba vs neptune

As an owner of a '21 Neptune Blue CT -- it's gorgeous! That said, there is a more pearl and sparkle to Mamba. The color of Neptune is almost muted in a way. It isn't as dark as most Blue cars out there, but it's not particularly metallic in the sunshine, compared to Mamba. I'd say in that regard it reminds me more of Carmine red, which is to say a deep rich color, understated but beautiful.. I have no regrets going Neptune :)

It may be easier to identify what options you did not get. :D Seriously, looks great and comprehensive. I love my CT and am sure you will too. ACC may be helpful if you ever decide to sell.

As stated above - ACC, I like it and use it frequently. I would add 'heads up display', this one I love!
