The message header address does reference the Lightning.
For those who are into such things, a printed, hard copy of owner's manual for the 2022 Lightning is available at Helm, Inc for $40 +shipping.. Select the "Lightning Owners Manual" option. This will be the kind of professional manual that used to come with all vehicles. 400+ pages...

I didn't see anything about this on the forum, unless it's buried in a thread, but GM is looking at making their warranties non-transferrable if high demand vehicles are resold within a certain timeline. According to one of the business sites: " GM North America President Steve Carlisle has...
Yesterday, I updated my Lightning with the only software listed on the update page. It was for the OBCC module. I checked again today and found an update available for the Gateway Module. Anyone know what the GWM update is for? It took a long time to download. Wouldn't think the tire...

Background: I live in an extreme (cold) climate and several years ago, while on vacation, the house sustained over $20,000 in water damage when a severe winter storm caused a multi-day power outage along with frozen and burst pipes. The result of that unpleasant experience was the decision to...
