Created this post for people to post information pertaining to their 2021 factory orders (order date, build date, delivery date etc). Some posters have noted delays due to COVID-19 outbreaks. Hoping that this post can provide some clarity for those who are currently waiting on delivery of their 2021 defenders.

 

I placed my order with my dealer on 02/06/2021. My dealer told me it would take 30 days before we receive a build date and an estimated delivery date from Land Rover. The dealer is estimating delivery will occur in the 4-6 month time period.

 

Dates from my order...

Created 12/8
Committed to Build 1/26
Build 2/19
At Retailer 4/9

The dates have not moved since I placed the order. I check in weekly to see if anything has changed. All good for now!

 

I placed my order on August 23rd and took receipt of the vehicle on January 21st. It was painfully slow.

 

Ordered 1/18. Heard from dealer yesterday they have just gotten back an early June delivery date from JLR.

 

Hi all - new to the forum, but excited to be here. Thought I'd chime in with my first post. These are the dates I received.

Send to Dealer 12/29/2021
Last Amendment Possible 1/20/2021 - Dealer said I could add/remove options up until this date.
Build Date 2/19/2021
Delivery Date 4/9/2021
Customer Handover 4/13/2021

 

Placed my order 11/19. Original delivery date was 2/14, then 2/21, now 3/5. Waiting....

 

Placed my order on 12/21, still don't have an official factory scheduled build date. Dealer estimated delivery in April/May originally, now they are saying it's looking more like june/july and it will most likely be a 2022 model year. Really excited for the truck, the waiting is painful!

Does anyone know what is changed/new for 2022 models? My dealer said they would forward me the 2022 dealer info sheet once they receive it so I can review/modify my order based on any 2022 configuration changes. I'll share it here if I get anything, he said they expect to get it in march/april. Might be the one benefit of having to wait so long I guess!

 

Ordered 9/17/2020. Original delivery date was 12/25/2020. First update to delivery date was 1/8/21, second update was 1/22/21, and I took delivery on 1/17/21. Worth the wait.

 

My dealership just sent me some info including the name of the boat taking my defender across the Atlantic. She lands on 2/12. Screw fed-ex, this is a whole new level of tracking.
