Nice build, love the grey paint. I would nix the 3rd seat in the back as it is small and the battery hump takes up the foot space, also research on the 150k charger not sure it is needed. This will save you 1K to get other goodies or pay to install your charger at home. Did you get your build allotment.
beautiful car you will enjoy.

I think the innodrive, ACC, etc. is way overpriced at not very useful. I would spend that money elsewhere.

I went back and forth between Volcano and Dolomite, before settling on the latter. I recently got a chance to see a Volcano Grey Taycan Turbo in the flesh and I have to say, I'm glad that I didn't spec it. Even on a sunny day, it just looked like a very dull color. And I'm a guy who loves grey and silver cars.

I won't comment on the rest, as our builds are entirely different and it's all personal preference. I did skip Innodrive though based on some comments on here from people who were having problems due to it.

I would get leather interior and cross off a few peformance options. Espcially Porsche Electric Sport Sound and Performance Battery Plus. You won't need the extra range in everyday commute and chargers will deterimine where you can go in road trips.

Leather for sure. Definitely the larger battery. Get as much range as you can - you'll need it. Talk to owners who live in cold climates.
