Let's see how much new stuff they actually reveal or if it's just rehashing info that's already out.
Reminder: First livestream September 9, 2021 at 8PM
When I click the original link, I still get a page saying

SORRY, THERE ARE NO LIVESTREAMS
AVAILABLE FOR YOUR VEHICLE
Livestreams are currently only available for 2021 F-150, Mustang Mach-E, Bronco Bronco Sport and F-150 Lightning models.
When I click on the F-150 Lightning link, it takes me to https://www.ford.com/support/vehicle/2022/Ford/F150-lightning/discover-your-ford/livestream, which displays an upcoming livestream on Sept. 27th at 6 PM PDT. Nothing on the 9th.

Note that the difference in the links is the model year. There is no such thing as a 2021 F-150 Lightning.
Interesting. It looks like they rescheduled it.

Welcome to the forum @Regular Lightning! Which Mach-E and Bronco models do yo have? What kind of home charging setup do you have?
Ford has Discover Your Lightning livestreams scheduled for each month. For me, there wasn't much new in the one last week but in December they are supposed to discuss the differences between the trim lines.

Remember: next livestream is tomorrow night: https://www.ford.com/support/vehicle/2022/Ford/F150-Lightning/discover-your-ford/livestream/
This one is supposed to discuss differences among the trims and option packages.
Here's the Q&A I captured from the chat of tonight's video. Many of the questions are already found the the Tech Specs. One of my questions was answered, several at the end of this were not. However there were a few new nuggets:
Power fold mirrors are on Lariat and Platinum only
The Tough Bed spray-in bedliner is not standard on the F-150 Lightning, but is an available option on all trims.
Standard Range Battery: 98kWh
Extended Range Battery: 131 kWh
(unsure if these are total or usable capacity)
