In my experience over the last fours years, 1 and three are a thing of the past. I'd even say that the second is less of a problem as they added many service centers closeby. But I am not in the US. The two last ones are an increasing annoyance.

The latest consumer reports suggests average level of repair ability in the 2023 Tesla line (https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/tesla/model-3/2022/reli...), not as bad as in the past.

However, I believe the company will reduce slack in the system in unhealthy ways as fits their corporate goals. More than other mfg.

In this case, moving slowly is an advantage. I just trust Ford to be able to support 100 millions cars on the road more than Tesla.

But thanks for checking my priors - I was still assuming it was 3+ month delivery time for eg bodywork.

The home battery, however, is really important to me. Buy a ford lightning and you get something like 8 powerwalls, with a truck for free.
