Pasties? Hey, there may be kids reading this! :)
Pasties are a British dish from Cornwall. Delicious. According to Wikipedia, they are “a British baked pastry, a traditional variety of which is particularly associated with Cornwall, South West England but has spread all over the British Isles.”

Edit:
I saw from one of the threads here that the Lightning manual says to break-in 1000 miles before towing.
From the thread: Page 415 says a break-in period of 1000 miles is required.

BTW Congrats!
I think it has been noted that this is copied and pasted from the ice manual. There's certainly nothing needed for the electric motors, but I imagine you would want to drive it some amount just to make sure there's not any other issues with suspension, brakes, cooling system, ect.

The reduction gear and internal bearings would also benefit from a cautious 500-1000 mile shake down run.

Nick, when you have a chance, please post a photo of the GVWR and the Tire/Load Range stickers.
