Gotcha. Marvellous progress. Ability to read percussion notation is a great (and rare) skill to have for most rock drummers.
Try some jazz too.

6 months that's impressive. How old is she? Nice confident fills. Dad will soon discover the cost of cymbals..... they're an addition.
Use hi hat pull offs as an alternative and (more subtle) method of accenting mid verse. Use the crash more sparingly. Save your ammo.

Tbh I didn't realise they even tried. Last Intel chip I remember in embedded control was resolutely 1990s!

Sales of Goods Act 1979 applies here so it's me vs the Dealership.
They need to send it back to me in the condition it came in and I don't care whose fault it was originally. They need to fix the car and they need to sort that out with Porsche.
Ignoring it won't make it go away.....

As it appeared in the Porsche shop (£1200!) but it was already on the car when they sold it to me so no matter.
However, it went in for some warranty work (new 11kW AC charger) and when it came back out, no comfort unlock.
Pointed out it was sold to me with it enabled but no reply.

Sold me second hand Taycan with lane keeping and innodrive turned off. They're clearly supposed to turn these options off so they can be sold again. That's fine, bought them as over the air purchases from the Porsche shop.
However, the car was sold with comfort unlock enabled, an oversight 1/2

Shame you don't get the estate. It's a properly useful car. When the RS6 estate version launches, that will replace my Taycan TS Cross Turismo.

E85 is the mutts!! You can get so much boost into that it's crazy.
Proper performance fuel.
You want to moan, complain about E5 or E10. All the problems, none of the benefits.
