I bought a loaded Dolomite Silver Taycan 4S in early November 2020 and as my car is having the software update, I now am driving a loaner 4S with no options. My car has full leather, Mission E wheels with PSCB, Innodrive, premium and performance packages. You may find it hard to believe, but after driving a basic 4S with no options other than those that came on the 2020 Taycan 4S (mobile charger connect/pano roof/big battery), the only options I think are absolutely necessary are:
1) 93.4 kWh battery $5570
2) sport chrono package (GT steering wheel with little wheel to change driving mode is a must have) $1320
*3) Adaptive Cruise Control (* only for those who drive significant highway miles) $2050
*4) 25 foot charging cable (* only if you buy the mobile charger connect. My car is sitting halfway out of the garage to fit the 8 ft charging cable to my charge port) $0
All the other options I have on my car are fluff in my opinion as a no option 4S handles really well, is really fun to drive, has smoother ride with 19" wheels than my 21" wheels/tires, and has greater range with the smaller wheels. The red brakes stop the car really well when greater than regen braking is needed. Full leather or race-tex interior is really nice, but the standard interior is perfectly fine and saves $5000 after taxes. Any appearance options are basically costly personal preferences.
Would I order a new one like this if I had the opportunity to do it over again, probably not because I can afford to option it out how I'd really want it. But for someone who doesn't want to or cannot afford to spend more money , I would highly recommend a lighter optioned 4S over a base Taycan with more options. Speed, performance, handling is all that is necessary.
