I got an email from JLR this morning stating my defender has been built and left the production line. What does that mean ? Does it mean that it’s now ready to be shipped .... there probably are a few more stages after it leaves the assembly I reckon.

My initial dates were, build date was on 4/16/21 and delivery on 7/16/21 ... just getting excited in case it’s getting here early. Shall check with my dealer today.

Edit: corrected dates

New dates are:

1. Lock Date: 6/20/21
2. Build Date: 7/22/21
3. Expected Arrival Date: 9/30/21

Seems reasonable to me for a 22MY, quite frankly I'll be happy if it isn't delayed by several months as has been the case with every other vehicle I ordered over the last year.

The only problem with all of this is that I thought I had the whole spec stress behind me ... now I get to question all my choices for a couple of additional months.
These dates are very similar to my 90 V8 CE. As to the choices, there aren't many, so hopefully less stress!

you mean your initial dates were 4/16/21 (not 20) correct? I just placed my order today for a base p300

Just got an update from my dealer that our Defender is on the Figaro heading this way. Build date was 4/23 with anticipated delivery of 7/2. Any one else on that boat waiting on pins and needles?

My dealer still can't even make a commitment for a production date, even though I submitted my order 6 weeks ago.

I had a build date of 4/20, so I'm guessing mine is on that boat too! Any updates from your dealer on if it will arrive ahead of 7/2? Seems like an awfully long time...

Imagine if you had ordered a Bronco..............No one has any clue when those are going to be delivered. At least, your Defender is on a boat.......albeit, a very slow boat!!!
