New Lightning Name

[Dynamic Alpaca]

Hey folks, just got myself a 2025 lightning XLT and couldn't be happier! Now I just need to name it, was hoping for suggestions.

Also any suggestions on a small antenna I can order to replace the current antenna?

Actually ordered it in April, and with the fire in October and the multiple delays I'm actually lucky I was one of the last ones to get it. But Lucky is a great choice

Can't remember the last time I listened to ota radio. I stream via Pandora for the past 15 years or more. Therefor a stubby antenna takes care of an aesthetic value for some.

Yeah most of my music is through Apple Music anyways so poor AM/FM reception wouldn't be an issue for me

I stream Amazon Music when I don't want silence.

I've replaced my antenna with a stainless button head machine screw, with almost nothing sticking up, to facilitate using a cover sometimes. Theoretically this should eliminate reception, but I can still get some local FM stations, though I usually just enjoy the quiet drive. The proper antenna lives behind the rear seat in case it's needed.

I'd recommend experimenting a bit with antenna mods to see what works in your area. I think the threads are 1/4-20 (not 100% sure) so one could just stick a bolt in there and see if it works.

“Moto Moto” is taken


This is what I got 3 years ago. It has been working OK with no issues. I have done no serious testing on reception so I have no idea if I am missing something I should be getting.
