The orange connectors on the Lightning Strike Carbon Edition’s battery cables look pretty familiar, honestly, they seem 3D-printed, like something from a standard desktop FDM printer. If that’s true… yikes, that’s cutting corners! Has anyone else spotted this?
 
If Lightning is actually using 3D-printed connectors for something as critical as battery cables, that’s a massive red flag. Printing prototypes is one thing, but using them in production? That’s just cutting corners and asking for reliability issues down the road. Have you checked if they feel like cheap PLA plastic, or is it something more heat-resistant?

Exactly my thought...I haven’t checked the material yet, but if it’s low-quality plastic, that’s a serious durability and safety concern.
