I'm not sure I understand most of the long waits except it being dealer allocation along with any Ford delays. I went to my dealer in November of 21' and was built at the end of September 22' and received mid October of 22' I had mic, non sas, lux, obx.
Ceramic coat is similar to a wax just last longer depending on quality around 5 years I think. I'd do it but I can't afford it and I don't want to spend days doing it lol
I was able to follow mine with the tracker and then I was able to follow my railcar so it was more or less on track most the time. My original blend date was pushed a week then my estimated delivery went from begining of the month to the end and the month then back to the begining, besides that...
The day mine was built it had 1100 for what I am guessing was both shifts that day. It will say on your window sticker at the top how many are scheduled and what number in line you are.
I don't know what they go by but I have a 4dr obx with lux and switches and that's it. I ordered 11/20/21 and is in transit and eastimated to be here by the end of the month. It just hit St Louis
