Seen on the Mach-E subreddit: Sounds like a Recall is incoming. Dealer just told me a stop sale was placed on all Mach-E's.

Yeah, Until there is an actual Stop Sale issued, I'd say this is the dealer being shady.

Although, the PAAK software update that went to Dealers says at the very top "NEW VEHICLE DELVIERY HOLD" and requires them to do the update before delivering any new cars. And maybe this is what they saw when they ran a report on the car once they got it in?
This is how it looks on the dealers side. I can almost bet, this is what they are talking about.

I personally doubt the PAAK issue is at the heart of what that particular dealer is talking about or improperly refering to, though that's certainly possible. Until more details are made public I think talk about a recall or nationwide stop-sale is somewhat premature. That's not to say there's not something going on or an issue warranting a recall of some proportion (all, a bunch, a few?), just that we don't have enough information yet.

For all we know it could be a PAAK issue (though unlikely imo), perhaps an LVB-HVB interface issue, perhaps it's the incredibly steep coupled with incredibly long descent regen issue, maybe the sunroof has a danger of becoming a pop-top, perhaps the large screen is phoning home to Fremont instead of Dearborn, maybe its an Explorer type tire issue. Feel free to insert your own silly, serious, and entirely speculative possibilities for the dealer's statement. Until Ford comments (and they will eventually if there is a stop-sale and/or recall), we just don't really know.

And as a reminder, we are in model year 1. We are the folks who are making this a better car for those yet to come. Or something. :)

And unless you worked for Tesla, the Corporate Ethics Officer would have you escorted from the building as soon as your subordinates rolled over on you.
Tesla Corporate Ethics Officer! You have a future in stand up comedy! That;s the best I've heard in a while.

Imagine that role - Ethics officer at Tesla. Do you think that Elon would even take a meeting or call with you?
Nope, plus you’d have to fire yourself at least once a week. ?

I think that position is part of the PR department at Telsa.

I grew up in Fremont. To misquote Luke Skywalker, “If there's a bright center to the universe, you're in the city that it's farthest from.”
Now that's funny, I'm in Union City so I think I'm further out LOL!
