Good luck :like:
btw: do you need 4+1 seats? Imo, it’s almost unusable.

I am now considering what to remove in order to get the Rear wheel steering. In my Taycan 4s I don't have it and so don't miss it (and never driven one with...)
I don't think you should sacrifice very much to enable you to add RWS, assuming you're happy with the steering of your current vehicle (I was happy with a CT 4S demonstrator that lacked that feature, even though I've specced it for my build). Hopefully you could then add PSP instead.

Incidentally, I was going to suggest not going with coloured wheel hubs, but when I saw your configuration I think they provide a nice splash of colour setting off the stylish high-contrast monochrome scheme you've chosen.

I would try to remove a few cosmetic options in favour of RWS. Good discipline on staying within a budget! It's tough.

Have you considered CT4 (instead of 4S) with more options?
I'm quite sure that you won't regret having less horses (without glass roof) and more technical add-ons (like RWS, PDCC, matrix lights...)
That’s what I did. Just ordered yesterday. Dolomite Silver CT 4 with almost everything (not night vision, torque vectoring and PDCC). I was going for the ct 4 but got a ct 4s as a tester. I was afraid I wouldn’t be happy with the 4 anymore. My current car is an SUV with 0-100 in 5,6 sec. I hardly ever used it full power. Last week a tested a RWD to feel the power difference. It still has a good acceleration from 0 and on the highway from 70 km/h to 130 it was really quick. I think I will be happier with lots of options because for me I will use it everyday than once in a while when I am at a red light (without my wife) and have to do a sprint with a Tesla model 3. I could also afford a 4s but with the budget I am willing to give it would hardly have any options. Still not sure if I need torque vectoring and PDCC, the dealer says they hardly ever sell those.

Speaking about night vision: very, very, very useful.
very glad to have it, since there are lots of wild animals in my daily routes.

I would always spec RAS on a car these days, there's just no downside.

I like PTV+ but it's not strictly necessary.

I do not like PDCC.

I'd add the acoustic insulated glass and RAS and remove the power charging port. Consider ventilated seats as well. Then your build looks great to me.
I have difficulties understanding what PTV+ will do and how it will improve day to day driving. Is this something I will feel when driving in long bends like an highway exit at speeds? Or on round abound? I am ordering a 4 CT with RWS.

If it improves the day to day drinking that would be an achievement for Porsche :)

On page 14 of the “Dolomite silver club” thread are 3 different silver CT’s. I ordered the same 20 inch wheels as you, I think they look great. And I saw this one at the dealer last week it has the other 20 inch wheels. I chose for the black inlays. I prefer the contrast. The silver inlays look different than the Dolomite silver. And the dealer is going to install painted wheel arches (order turbo S parts and paint them). Going to decide definitely after seeing in person first.

Future proofing for arguments with the mrs :) at least it is there :D
I've ridden in the rear middle seat of my Taycan a couple of times with four other adults in the car, and it's tight, but not uncomfortable for short trips. I'm 6.0 foot/1.83 meters tall for comparison. Also, the 4+1 (or ski package) option provides a pass-through access to the trunk that is not blocked by two rear passengers.

Define "short trips" :angel:
And, I'm wondering where did you put your legs?

Can you put it up on the passenger screen for the copilot?
