What the usual wait time from placing the deposit to receiving a production number? And does anything I have said sound.... abnormal?
Wow, that is ludicrous. Unless you paid a very low price, you may want to think about canceling and going with a dealership that will give you an allocation immediately (as long as you want your car now). Many people on here get there production number right after ordering, meaning that the dealer does have an allocation to give.

I hope they are least told you what you were getting into. Normally, if a dealer has an allocation to give, it will take ~2 month to arrive.

If you can't get your dealer to give you a July allocation, you may really want to considering finding a dealer that will.

Just my opinion... maybe some other can chime in as well.
