2022 Defender orders taking place now
#291
It’s available in the Discovery, Jag F-Pace and XF. The Range Rover and Range Rover Sport are due big upgrades in the next couple of years. I suspect they will not see the larger screen until then as they are the oldest in the lineup right now.

Order progressing (with 11.4" screen)
Asked Salesman today for an update and he sent me a screenshot of tracking. Despite all reports, my order continues to progress, despite the inclusion of the notorious 11.4" screen. Build in 2-ish weeks (fingers crossed).
P.S. I understand what most steps mean, but does anyone know what "build market distribution" means? Maybe the transportation of the vehicle from the factory in Slovakia to the nearest port to put on the ship to various ports of delivery?

So a seemingly weird thing is happening in the system.
My V8 CE is showing a late July estimated delivery date, but it isn't showing any production dates.
My guess is that I should just disregard the July date and it will change when actual production dates get slotted in.
I'm just puzzled as to how JLR can have a delivery date without knowing when they're making the thing.

I would imagine JLR have a pretty good idea what they can commit to build and exactly how long it will take (putting aside complications of global chip shortage for a sec). They probably already have space on the ship already booked for n-number of vehicles--this is done well in advance and they will ensure all of their spaces are filled.
Still, the next update you get will probably be a VIN number--at which point they would be fairly certain they have all the parts to build your car--all eight cylinders! Says me with my glass half full.
I ordered P400 early March. Commit to build April 12; built May 7 and delivery July 2.
I am surprised I have not seen a VIN yet.
