22 BL with about 2500 miles. Backseat passenger side somewhere it has a creak that comes and goes. When it's there it's annoying though. Hopefully it'll work itself out or I guess I'll see if they can check when I take it in for an oil change.
I tested the cable issue. Bought an Anker Thunderbolt 3.0 USB-C cable. About the fastest you can get I believe. Still didn't fix it. Waze still locks up within a few minutes of starting navigation.
I've used Waze for about 7 years, but like you mentioned it is just about unusable in my Bronco Sport with Android Auto. I gave up after a week of fooling with it and I just use Google Maps now. I'm on Android 13 with a Pixel 6 also.
Took delivery of my Badlands about a month ago. My floor looked/looks the same. Weathertech floor mats cover most of it. I'm just happy not to have carpet that I have to clean when it gets wet/muddy.
