The first character says "key $30,000 to 3034599 into your bank account". The other says "Select transfer now".

The sooner the better. I want to retire early.

Go ahead and send your VIN and dealer name to @Ford Motor Company cause that's what they are gonna ask you to do.

Let's see if we can figure it out first:
Is this a route you've driven before?
Did you drive by any high powered antennas or movie villain lairs?
Did you see any bright lights?
Were you near any foreign embassy's?
What did you have for dinner the night before?

The NSA will be by soon to scramble that screen. Nobody was supposed to see it.

Google translate was not much help, curious what it says though. Korean, Chinese or any other ideas, happy to hear your answers.

You mean our MME is sophisticated enough to be hackable… :p

Actually, it would be interesting to know what it reads. The two characters on the left look Chinese and the character(s?) on the right appear(s?) to be Korean. I’ve always thought the Chinese market Mustang Mach E would have an entirely different code base, custom for that market.

Lol, this tends to happen when there's either an encoding problem or a bug corrupted whatever text was in memory. Since this car is sold in multiple world markets, including China, I'd expect those language characters to be stored in memory anyway. A bug caused one to be loaded instead of the correct english one :)

Never had chinese characters show up before, but once a week, my car likes to mix French, English, Spanish, kilometers and miles together.

The Chinese character doesn’t mean anything according to the native Chinese speaker sitting next to me. The Korean one probably similar, just jibberish.
