For those of us that don't have that experience, we try to borrow other's from YouTube or forums. When it comes to Lightning, that often does not exist and these techs have to be the trail blazers. We should cut them some slack.

What kind of things have you used the manual for? I’m trying to get an idea of the complexity of DIYing this EV compared to typical ICE maintenance of replacing fluids, sensors, pumps.

I haven’t really needed my service manual for the Lightning yet but on my previous EV the service manual came in really handy for checking the reduction gear fluid. Checking the reduction gear fluid is a very simple process but no one I talk to, including service technicians, had any idea how to do it. Just like with an ICE, an EV service manual comes in really handy for the many little things like making sure you get the bolts torqued correctly.
