I just received a call from my LR dealer with an update that my MY2022 P300 order is now in "Order Committed" status with a Build Date of 4/30/21 and Delivery Date of 6/25/21. I have the 11.4" screen as part of my build, and I asked if there was a possibility of it being delayed, and the response I got back was that with the committed order they don't anticipate any additional delays.
Anything can happen, of course, but it was a pretty encouraging update.

NoGaBiker -- I think they were using a dealer allocation, because before the commit the status was listed as "Holding Pool". My last amendment date was 3/28/21, so your theory might be right about the conversion.
I originally placed my order on 2/5/21 (for what was originally supposed to be a MY2021), and then finalized the MY2022 build on 3/4/21.
No problemo on the questions! We're both in the same spot... puttering around on this forum, getting more and more excited, even though it's going to be months before we'll be in our Defenders

I think that’s more than just you two! Lot of folk just in the waiting hopper!

bet mine is there too, or already on a boat. Probably sitting next to yours though.

I’m still amazed that it actually takes them 2 months to deliver an already built vehicle. I just consulted my journal for accuracy: My last order with Porsche, placed 2/14/15, was built 3/24 and I drove it home in Atlanta 4/25. So a month total to ship from Germany to Brunswick, GA, and trailer it up to Atlanta. Hard to blame C19 for double the shipping time.
Oh, hell, who am I kidding. It’s EASY to blame C19 for anything negative that happens on earth. I think it has become business’ biggest friend.

Well, bear in mind West Coast adds 2 weeks, at least according to my dealer. They tell me they'll drop East Coast cars in Brunswick, then go over the canal and drop West Coast cars in Long Beach. So sounds like an East Coast car would take 6 weeks, which does not sound outrageous to justify on COVID.

Hopefully not Long Beach... There is currently a backlog of container ships parked in front of the port to last for weeks or months. What a disaster that seaport is. Generally, Land Rover unloads in Port Hueneme near Oxnard, a little further north and nowhere near as congested as LA/Long Beach.
Thanks!
