I had an order down for a P400e phev.
Manufacture date feb. 05 21 - Check!
Delivery a month later (to Iceland) - Check!
But all of a sudden these dates vanished from JLR´s database in to thin air.
My dealer has no idea. Was flabbergasted.
Some speculate this has something to do with a new generation of RR phev coming out late 21, with bigger batteries.

FWIW my dealer mentioned they heard rumors of the PHEV for the defender in the 2022 model (not sure if I had mentioned that here before or not). The PHEV is already available in the RR, so my fingers are still crossed for the 22 defender release.
Do you play any golf iceman? Ive always wanted to play Nicklaus North Golf Course up in Whistler. Once the border opened up I was hoping to take a trip up there in the new defender with the family. Both my defender order, and the border opening, are in a hold it seems.
Looks like the border is open now. You just need to quarantine for two weeks once arriving, regardless of whether you have been vaccinated or not.

I don't play golf at all, I'm useless at it, but the WABDR trail sounds like it would be a fun trip. Once the defender arrives, and the border opens back up I'd be down for that, there is a thread on the forum about it somewhere. That said I have a feeling we'll be driving around in our defenders well before the border is back to normal... I doubt it'll be open without quarantine before december. Should give me plenty of time to get the tow hooks and rock rails installed :P

But their database showed both these dates.
Which my dealer told me was a good indicator.
Then all hell broke loose

Looks like the builders are getting updated. UK site no longer has what year you are selecting (used to be 2020 or 2021). The V8 model or XS model are not available to be selected, but some new options like the larger media screen are present (£140 upcharge).
The USA site shows 22 models page has a keep me informed email option.
For UK towing there is now a tow bar as well as a electrically deployable tow bar:"The electrically deployable tow bar is stowed discreetly behind the bumper, providing a clean and attractive finish. Approved for up to 3,500kg trailer load (3,000kg for P400e variants)
Towing weight may vary per market. Please contact your nearest Land Rover Retailer for more information."
