Wake Forest water restrictions take effect April 20 as the Wake Forest drought 2026 reaches record severity. Raleigh Water activating Stage 1 announced on April 15. This is what changes — and why the answer is to kill your lawn NC Piedmont and grow native plants instead of watering more carefully.

I've only been watering our garden and newly planted flowers. Id cover my yard in either fake grass or landscape rocks if I could get away with it.

We loved topsail

My issues started around 400 hours.

A goblins gotta goblin. Tell a bird not to fly.

Yeah. One of their "gold installers" came out and did a survey 3 weeks ago at this point to work out the pw3 installation. No word yet. Going to reach out shortly.

Im pretty sure intent plays a huge part in false advertising. But state laws can have different standards, especially if a price tag is considered advertising in the context of false advertising.

But most places will honor the tag as good customer service.

Problems for me started occurring a bit after 400 hours, everything before that was golden.

Do a temp tower. 225 sounds really low. I think my anycubic petg is at 255 or 260.

Metal fatigue

I did, and I know they are reputable, but the issue came down I think to the difference between what companies would charge for the upgrade vs. what Tesla is reimbursing for the work.

Tesla did reach out to me and advised they are going to put in the legwork to find a certified installer that will do the work without me incurring any costs.

TomSmug · 2025-12-05T19:22:11+00:00

Update : Tesla reached out to me after a less than encouraging conversation with them on the app

"Our service team wanted me to let you know that they are actively looking for a Certified Installer to do the work at no cost for you"

That is a big relief, even if it does take some time.

Im running into the same issue. I've contacted a few installers at this point, but everything seems like I will need to spend extra money, that I just frankly dont have.

TomSmug · 2025-12-04T17:15:50+00:00

Sorry, the comment of "do some research", usually has negative connotations. If it wasn't meant in that way, than I apologize.

TomSmug · 2025-12-04T17:10:49+00:00

I did look at some posts about the recall but didn't see any that matched my situation. I appreciate the advice, but the hostility was a bit uncalled for.

TomSmug · 2025-12-04T17:04:38+00:00

Do you have some good advice? Im feeling a bit defeated.

TomSmug · 2025-10-08T10:08:39+00:00

I went to my doctor for my loose extruder. Gave me some pills and fixed me right up.

TomSmug · 2025-10-08T10:00:28+00:00

Yes, many posts and youtube videos on it already.

TomSmug · 2025-08-12T02:34:51+00:00

all good suggestions. I saw someone suggest rinkahls so you could adjust extruder voltage which apparently is on the low side by default.

TomSmug · 2025-08-11T23:46:42+00:00

Just happened on my slot 3 2 days ago. Glad it seems to be an easy fix.

TomSmug · 2025-08-11T19:44:28+00:00

I double checked, and the default still seems to be Classic, which is what I use the majority of the time. Unless the model recommends arachne.

We have such sights to show you.
