Looks to me like you've got it fully covered. Exciting times ahead! What color are the badges?

I'm still on the fence about the badge color...looks great on the computer. The PORSCHE would be black and the 911 Turbo S would be the exterior color agate

The axle lift is unnecessary. The 991.1 TTS does not have this option and there have not been any forum complaints that I'm aware of.
You might want to consider PAS, this would complement your Lane change Assist. Also Entry Drive is a nice to have feature. I like your build, will look great.

Always wanted to know about what black badges look like on the Agate. I have it myself and currently have all the factory chrome badges. If black looks any good may change them myself but wanted to see someone else's before I made that decision.

Agree on the entry and drive, but I thought that was standard on the S?

It used to be included with a package I think but now appears as an option in the configurator ...
Porsche Entry & Drive
$1,090

That being the case then yep get the entry a drive OP! Personally not a fan of the painted backs but to each there own there. Much prefer the leather to dominate wherever possible - looks more the money on a car of this value imo.
I'm assuming the rear camera and park sensors F and R are standard?

PS. So OP you're trading the .1 in your avatar?

My 991.1 TTS does not need the axle lift but only because it is not lowered. At stock ride height you get 6 inches of ground clearance and an over 13 degree approach angle --- tons for a sports car

Given the "options can't you live without and why?" that appears in the thread title I have to ask why Porsche Entry & and Drive can't be lived without.

For me it's a 'can't live with' option. That and Power Steering Plus.

I could live without it but its not bad to have. Looking at OP's option list money doesn't seem an obstacle, heck he has more than I could bring myself to swallow ticking but then again if I had your pricing regime I would be ticking every bloody thing....to hell with asking anyone here.....just tick away until the boxes run out.. And hey what's wrong with PPS? Agree you can't tell the difference when you are going but at parking speed its a bit easier. A lot of stuff like smokers package, bermester etc etc is not must have but its nice if the wallet can take it without feeling it so in that situation just go for it!

First: do you not sleep or are you ahead of me by several time zones? You're like a sniper watching the board for posts .

PSP: I find the unnatural change in steering effort annoying. I think that there is another negative effect on perception as well. That might be experimentally confirmed by coding-off PSP in my wife's 981CS.

PE&D: I get that it's new cool tech (for Porsche.) I just want to know why it's worthwhile. What are the use cases that make it a must have option?

Yes "Options" and "can't live without" is a oxymoron. The advantage of P entry & drive for me is that I can lock and unlock the car door, start the engine and drive away without fishing around in my pocket for a key.
