I ordered my Maverick September of 2022, yea, 14 months ago! Still no word on when it will arrive.

They are no longer building 2023s so your Maverick order should have been rolled over to a 2024. Have you spoken with your dealership about it? If they don't know drop them like a rock and order from elsewhere or since it looks like you did an Ecoboost you should start seeing them on lots and hopefully at MSRP.
Lots of 2023 abandoned orders. Some orders were prolly double orders from different dealers to increase their chance of 23’ getting scheduled, others got tired of waiting and I’m sure others have been priced out with cost of living and high interest rates. Either way not a good look as the demand wasn't really that high, it was just Ford not planning a normal amount of builds. Any new inexpensive model should have a plan to build 250k units first year run.
As many of these 23’ are available some will be scooped up by 24’ order holders which will likely cancel their 24’ order. If you have guaranteed private offer and priority 02 status it’s prolly best to hold onto that 24’ order rather than get a very late 23’ which will depreciate sooner.
Even the Bronco hoopla died down but yet some dealers still trying to ask 5-30k over while having plenty in stock.

I picked my 2023 hybrid up from my dealer on October 23. My dealer has exactly ZERO Mavericks' in stock. They had three when I picked mine up, (assume on the same delivery as mine) but they were gone within five days of that date.
They get them every so often from abandoned orders, but they sell within a week or two of showing up in stock. They put them up for sale asking $3k over for the ecoboost, and $3.5k over for the hybrid.

Late August. I don't know what means anymore. All I have to go on is what the salesman tells me, what I hear on here and the news. Lots of information and little of it relevant, everything is all over the place. Dealer says he'll give me MSRP for the Lariat I'm driving now.

I have been intently searching for the last week and a half... there are a lot out there actually. That being said dealers are still trying to cling to it. Quite a few at only $2500 over, but still others trying to get $10K and want you to come in to negotiate down from there.
Used ones are even more interesting, I am seeing that they have been on dealer lots for 3+ months in some cases. They have marked them down as much as $5K, but that is still $5K+ over original MSRP.
How long until we see eco boost below MSRP?

When internal cuts get to the point of kids eating less meals prices will go up. It's not going to be easy for quite awhile. Prices can and will be adjusted up or down. Whether an owned maverick sells for more or less than purchased price is irrelevant to what it's worth today or tomorrow. Keep it and get 40% more than original out the door price and buy a new one for 60% more could possibly be a smart move depending on what happens after that. I support those competing with Amazon etc. but it is getting hard to purchase elsewhere although I try to ask people I know where I might find something.
Aaarrrggghhh then we will have to debate who the bro bros are.
Put pencil to it, it's possible leaving it with dealer may cost him more.

Mavericks are made in Mexico jackass. No UAW membership there. Ford made record profits for the last few years raising prices and suddenly it’s the fault of the workers who just got a raise?
In Texas it's easier to survive with less electricity at 20°F over 90°F than it is at 20°F less than 32°F. Also this summer the grid introduced messaging to ask for reduced usage if possible and my coop had account holders receive text messaging to reduce usage if possible. Also grid capacity was increased (7+%) but was pretty much used up by new customers moving to Texas. My coop has also installed several solar farms as well as improved and built more transmission lines. One power generator is currently building new multi fuel power station to be in production in 2025. It will have 10 V18 19 megawatt (each) generators each about 60ft long 9ft wide and 20ft high and will be primarily for grid peak backup. During the grid problem in Feb 2021 demand was over twice the normal double consumption amount.
I see where they're starting to make use of battery storage as well.
"This summer, industrial scale batteries have helped boost the energy supply during critical evening hours. Battery storage represents a small fraction of Texas’ energy mix now, but it’s expected to rise sharply in coming years."

around here they're starting their preemptive fear campaign for this winter.
I just serviced my generator and topped off my wood pile like usual.

Our local dealership has been getting quite a few in during the third quarter, but 90%+ are customer orders. They told me that they have been lucky to get one allocation a month, and those are also sold before they arrive due to demand. They are also not marking them up like many post I have seen. All they add over MSRP is $699 for the quintessential bogus surcharges that all dealerships I have dealt with do. I have saved half of that in gas in just 2 months, so not much of a concern for me.
