2022 Defender orders taking place now
A few of us (NoGaBiker, etc.) are landing in Brunswick this morning and disembarking the Horizon Highway. Unless my trailer hitch mount (not the full towing package) is to be port-installed, everything else is to be done at the dealership. Anyone have a guestimate on how long they sit around in the port processing center before heading out on a truck?
Build was 5/13, left Southampton 6/9 and arriving east coast today...

What was your build date? Wondering if were on the same ship.
My build was 5/24 and was probably loaded on ship in the last couple days or so before setting sail today, 6/21. So that means it was probably in staging the last couple weeks waiting for its LR sibs and cousins. After a couple stops in Baltimore and Panama, ETA to Port Hueneme, CA is July ~15, and perhaps within a week after port it will be at my SoCal Land Rover dealership. YaY! 

Quick update on timeframe from dealer today: Original delivery was 7/22, moved up twice through the process and now expecting at dealer on 7/2/21 !
Order finalized on 3/25/21
Order locked on 4/25/21
Built on 5/13/21
loaded on a ship in Southampton on 6/9/21
Arrived Brunswick, GA on 6/21
Currently awaiting trucking to dealer in south central US
Large screen and no port installed accessories... all to be either dealer or self-installed. All were ordered early by my salesman and are waiting in parts at dealer.

Thanks for the info! I have a V8 that just arrived in Baltimore. Dealer outside of Philadelphia is indicating it will be ready for pickup on 7/9.
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....
