When I pulled the snap shots, they were from my local static copy of the manuals downloaded months ago, so, I dialed up FORD.COM, logged in and pulled the current version of the manual based on my VIN, this section is basically the same for the 2022 MY.
Are the manuals on this site? I love learning more about my lightning.

No, but you can access the OWNERS MANUAL directly from Ford.com, there are HTML and PDF versions to peruse or download.

The SERVICE MANUAL can be subscribed to, I don't recall the thread but there is a service to getting a customized version for your model year.

I have drained and filled my own drive unit fluid. I did it at about 10K miles. Even though the service interval doesn't call for service until 150K, whenever gears are breaking in, there will always be some degree of wear material imparted into the fluid, so just to be prudent, I checked the service manual for the spec (just a standard ULV transmission fluid) and used a fluid extraction pump to remove the old fluid (since after inspecting the fluid, I had no doubts that the filters and filter screens were probably barely contaminated. I then filled with fresh ULV fluid up to proper lefel (up to the fill port).

Super straightforward and now I feel 100% confident in running it all the way to 100K+.

If you guys are interested, I can post pictures and more if you'd like.

Also, as for brake fluid service, any decent bi-directional scanner can execute the bleed function.
If you still have pictures please post the filter location and fill plug
