Not sure what options/packages are available in your region but you might consider at least the partial leather package. I also ordered a tow hitch for my bike rack and the compass instead of sport chronograph.

Looks good.
You are well set with all the driver assistance options. The rest are personal preferences and tastes.

You cannot have Augmented Reality Head-Up Display without the partial leather package, at least.
This was the case in UK configuration.
So, I guess leather option is included.

Those that expect to drive in slippery conditions, or will be driving like they stole it, will usually spec the Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV+) with the rear axle steering. You may also have to move up to a 4S to get that, however.

If you intend to install a dash cam at some point, the Dash Cam Prep may worthwhile..

For me the one essential you haven’t included are ACC. Not only do I find it essential to avoid speeding tickets but it is getting hard to sell cars without it at least in UK.
Also I couldn’t be without comfort access now as I am used to it and I often arrive at car in full fishing gear with chest waders and all hands full so no way of getting to key.
Otherwise very comprehensive.
At least in UK dash cam preparation is standard

In Australia the ACC is part of the std equipment.
The salesman told me not to bother with the dash cam prep or homelink as there are just too many systems that they won't work with which causes headaches for the dealer and the owner

Add the illuminated Porsche (or personalized but more expensive) logo on the sport seat.
Exclusive touch that will make you smile!

The list of options for review is nice but a build code is better. This way we can look at Standard Equipment in your country and then compare to the Option list. For example, we cannot see your Wheel and Tire choice with Tire options often overlooked, so it is not easy to provide feedback that you are looking for.

However, if you just go blind and look at your list, I can say that Porsche Design Clock is impossible to see at night (common complaint) since it is basically a wristwatch on the dash with luminous painted hands. I have it and wish I just kept the Sports Chrono clock.

These already included but check to stif you have

1. Power steering plus (it was automatically included with RAS where I am)
2. Rear climate controls (part of the premium pack))
3. Consider either rear wiper or thermal glass (you cannot have both).
4. ACC for sure and 360 deg camera. Also consider innodrive.
5. What wheels sre you getting? Get standard 20 “ M4 or M4S for your range set. Unless you don’t mind slightly less range then go for whatever.
6. Are you customizing your side blades at all? Not sure what color your picking but blade options should be considered when you are picking the color.
7. If you have a garage with a garage door opener get home link for sure. Do not listen to your SA on that as it works well. Ignore if you don’t have a garage of course. It is standard for Canada configuration.

So now that I see your build spec and with the color you have (which is very nice and those wheels go very well with it) and realizing it does not get very cold in you neck of the woods I would submit the revised list.

1. HomeLink if you have a garage with a garage door opener (because the clicker that comes with that usually makes a mark/indentation you don't want on the sun visor).
2. Have a look at the standard plastic side blades on one at the dealer. Maybe ok for the darker car you have but not great on a lighter colored car (my opinion of course). Just to match the exterior color or your roof rails (which are a glossy black) either option would be better than the standard blades..
3. You already have thermal glass and ACC and it looks like you cannot get 360 camera or innodrive (neither are listed that I can see) so your good there. You don't really need any heat functions (that I got in Canada)

Really nice build. Cheers
