Ford Pauses Shipping, Building Electric F-150 Model Due to Potential Battery Issue
[Breitbart] Ford Motor Company has announced an unspecified potential battery issue has led the company to stop producing and shipping its electric F-150 truck model, according to reports.

Motor Authority reported Thursday that the company had placed a "stop-build and an in-transit stop-ship order" on the truck.

The automaker discovered the issue during its "pre-delivery quality inspections," the outlet’s Joel Feder noted, citing Ford representative Emma Bergg.

#3 Gee, in the old days, the company would just ship them out and tag the dealers with the fixes. Probably something requiring a Hazmat suit usually not available in the dealer service bays.

#4 With all the stories about how they can't tow a dog crate 10 miles, I suspect the buyers are dang stoopid.

#5 Probably need a law like Oregon or New Jersey where it is illegal to plug in your own vehicle.

"And what is your issue, sir?"

"I would like a replacement for my battery!"

"You took one last week, sir. And one the week before. You have had three replacements. May I ask what the problem is?"

"Bloody thing needs recharging every few days!"
