2022 Defender orders taking place now
#1261
Just spoke w/ my sales manager 5 min ago and he said my MY22 Defender is still showing a build date of 11/19/21 and a delivery date of 1/14/22. Ordered in Sep 21. Said something to the effect that any order that has an actual build date has the allocated equipment/parts for it or or wouldn't get a build date.

I have these exact same build/delivery dates with today being the last date of change to the build (locked date). Maybe this will be the final build/delivery dates for MY22? Hoping dates actually stick this time after ordering last March and 3 build/delivery date changes by JLR.

My MY22 D90 S had a build date of 10/15. I got confirmation today that it had been built, and is waiting to be shipped. The estimated delivery on day of deposit was 12/3. Saleswoman didn't say anything about a delay in shipping, but I've already put it in my mind that there will be one, especially after seeing people with the same delivery date say they've gotten pushed ~5days later. Our communication was via text; I'll call her tomorrow and ask more pointed questions. She's been pretty communicative since meeting early September.
Good luck everyone

Found this in a Slovakian publication, maybe that is the "shutdown" referenced above??
Nitra-based carmaker Jaguar Land Rover will suspend production between October 11 and 15, due to a lack of components. People working in the affected departments will receive 80 percent of their average salary.

Maybe I'm not "in the loop" enough, but I keep hearing that Nitto has shut down, then Defenders ship, then I hear they shut down again, Defender ship, rinse & repeat. I never hear that they reopen, just that folks report getting their Defenders. Each time I applaud their success. Not saying this isn't true/false, just from my perspective - I've heard this before. If you are waiting on a build, I wish you luck, patience, and don't get too anxious on this latest "shut down" until it proves out for a while.

Only once did the lady ask why. I told her I was fact-checking a media story.

Damn, I'm surprised no updates. I at least got new dates every time my build got extended. The new ones were all still in the way back with all the shipping stickers and such on them, I think there was 1 or 2 defenders in the back and they did have a few up front but not sure if they are spoken for or not.
