Nothing specific yet, but my dealer seems to think first week of March is when they'll know more from JLR as that's when they were told they can start putting in new MY22 orders.

Changed it two weeks ago
Build date end of March
Delivery end of May
Not sure how I squeaked under the line; I think it was the lack of the MHEV but have no proof. I was in the regular dealer allocation for Jan; they would not take the order until they had that, so that might be a part of it too

Interesting, thanks for the replies. I also have a P300 S order that was placed on 1/6/21. I’m in Chicago and have my order reservation with Howard Orloff here in the city. They’re a large dealer so I wouldn’t think order allocation or anything would have to do with it but who knows.

Seemed frustrating at the time. Now I’m pretty glad.

The push to electrify will make things interesting...especially if you live in Sun Valley Idaho like myself...-20 degrees f in winter significantly degrades battery performance. And if you do any overlanding, it's a bit difficult to carry 10 gallons of electricity with you on the trip....or to "electrify up" in some small town in Montana on the way. Sometimes wonder if execs understand who is buying their offroad vehicles.

In the US maybe that's true, but not in Europe.
JLR offers more diesel than petrol options for the LR fleet over there.
