I had a 2/4 delivery date. Hoping I was also loaded up!

Found out mine is on Olympian Highway. It left Southampton a couple days before the Glovis Caravel.

Don't get too excited yet. Mine, is on the Morning Lena, which has been swinging on the hook outside the canal for 3 days now. Probably some kind of tsunami related slowdown in the canal. It was supposed to transit two days ago. Like I said, early February is realistic in my case. Perhaps they are waiting on an approval on their credit card to pay the transit toll. They did spend a day docked at Colón, most likely taking on fuel. It couldn't be for shore leave, been there. The scheduler now says they expect to transit on the 18th.

Mine gets off the boat in Georgia. The last month or so of the wait is pretty painful.

So you are saying, hearing end of April, May, or even June, is not painful?

I ordered in early July and kinda forgot about it for a while. Wife and I had a baby which probably contributed to that. Didn’t really start to get impatient until this month. I feel your pain though. I was originally supposed to get mine almost two months ago.

Well the hits keep on coming. Dealer called today, we have you an allocation! Big smile on my face. Bad news no Clearsight mirror which is no big deal but also no premium leather. I tried to switch to an X but no build slots for the X at the moment for the above reasons. So I wait.

Yep no clear sight on any model across the lineup apparently.

Dealer said today even the 23 Range Rover won't have full digital display. Imagine paying 115k for a car and it having analog dials lol.

Not sure I believe that. Doesn't even have an option for non digital dials.

My dealer has consistently denied that the interactive display is not available. It can’t be optioned but on vehicles it is standard on are ok. I’ll ask again tomorrow.
