The “never had any issues with my Defender” Thread

Should I move this to the “having issues thread”?
2021 X-Dynamic HSE...7,500 miles...vehicle is awesome; really something special. My wife and I love it. It's driven 5 hour road trips, beach sand dunes, mountains of VT and ME. We had some early Pivi Pro moments that were resolved with a simply reset and have gone away with OTA updates. My only complaint is the windshield has 3 rock chips (one about the size of a quarter). This might just be the upright angle and highway driving. The one thing missing is wireless CarPlay. Other than that and truth be told, I wouldn't notice if some of the electronic features we have are working or not. I'm not really a technophile. The Meridian Surround and cooling seats are great though.
Now, I would expect a car with 7,500 miles to be 100% working and reliable. We'll see what the future holds but I remain cautiously optimistic. And sorry to those who've had some issues. Understanding how it would be frustrating with an expensive luxury car and how that frustration is only exacerbated by the current supply chain conditions.
Cheers to the adventures and road ahead.

5 mos in, no issues. Lots of things I want to do to change it (to get closer to my OffRoad Houligan identity) but has worked flawlessly. Any piddly tech challenge was traced back to the object on the driver’s seat. Once I’ve found out more about the tech and settings, problems fixed (ok not really a problem).

Took delivery of dealer stock in early January 2021, paid 2 K below sticker, and haven’t been back to the dealer once for service! Only service issue was a cracked windshield, taken care of professionally by Safelite. Have an occasional electronic gremlin related to infotainment or a failed update that resolve with a reset.
