I had never really considered the XS as my order is Tasman blue.

What are the other differences between XS and XD HSE other the exterior (Grey grill, Grey wheels, recovery hooks)
It does not have any wood finish on the interior...other than that it bundles in some options

Wait... you ordered Tasman and you’ll consider accepting black??? Man, I’d think long and hard over that call. (Well, actually, I wouldn’t think about it for one second, but I’m advising you to think long and hard over it. )

The world has enough dealer-ordered black SUVs already. Leave that color for RR and Velar. Have some fun with the Defender!

Am I the only one who really doesn't love any of the available colors at all and really wants one in red?

Lol no I don't think i gave it serious consideration.. just a wild idea as a result of going crazy from this wait!

Going to wait it out for my Tasman. But @Moretti thanks for that info.

@_Allegedly - you are SO right. I have NO idea who picked that palette. I so wanted the British racing green or better the old sky blue. I went with Silver as it was the one that I figured would hold the most value as well as being the easiest to repaint if I ever had the urge.

British racing green would also be my top choice

I think Tasman is perfect, but like the Pangea very much and since it goes better with Khaki interior, which I adore, I went Pangea.

I love the pallet they have, but would love the addition of a bright red or even orange as well. I wouldn’t buy them but I’d love to see them.

In the Jeep worldI always gravitated towards (and bought) Jeeps in the earth-tone colors because I like to blend a little better in the desert. But I love seeing other people’s orange and bright blue and red and highlighter green ones.

I sure wish Pangea Green had been able to copy this:

So I think I must just have the worst luck.

My build date was listed as 6/11. I followed up with my sales rep and he provided me the new vista printout. The build date has now been pushed to 7/23/11 and the handover is 10/22/21 (was previously 8/27). I have had the order in since mid march (swapped from my original order from an HSE beginning of February).

What an experience....

My sales rep is saying the reason for the push back is due to the chip shortage for the larger media screen....

Thats awful news... Sorry to hear that.

That is pretty strange since it seems plenty of larger screen orders are coming in to dealers now.

EDIT: It looks like there are at least 17 other XS on dealer lots right now per Autotrader. Maybe worth seeing if any of them are similar to your spec and your dealer could contact that dealer to trade it over. They should at least be looking into that for you given how long you have waited..
