Thanks for posting. Gives me some hope on my latest delivery timeline! My order is pretty similar to what you’ve described minus the sunroof and cold climate pack.

My dealer gave me an update a few weeks ago saying my 110 was built 6/27 and waiting for transport out of Nitra. Anyone else have a late June build date headed to the midwest or east coast? Unfortunately, it's like pulling teeth to get my dealer to give me any updates on delivery. Last update was 8/10-8/20 delivery.
I have a base P300 with 11.4 screen, so I'll be curious if it shows up with that screen.

I was supposed to have a 6/24 build date with a 9/10 delivery to Chicago. Not sure if my P300 got built or not but I did have the larger screen in my build sheet. As of last week my dealer was sticking to the early Sept delivery date but I’m convinced it’s not going to happen.
At this point, if it is built my main concern is getting it before they recall all the non-smoked NA spec Defenders for the rear light issue. I think there will be a lot of cars sitting at dealers if that happens.

@efear - Do an Advanced search on the "Defender 2020" channel and the search term "recall". You'll find a ton. There's a legit recall on some US smoked tail lights. Hit it with a high beam (bright LED flashlights) and all the rear lights (brake, running, etc) shut off until the engine is restarted. No warning to the driver that everyone at night behind you can't see you. PowerfulUK on YouTube has a 2-3 video series on it. Some / many reporting the same on other rear lights (red lights, non-smoked, etc). No idea of the spread or how many vehicles impacted. It is widely spreading in the Defender community that it is likely a "thing" and there's speculation starting that there will be a wider recall eventually on it. Lots of dialog on all the bits & parts, views & opinions, breadth & depth.

Thats good news that not all of the red tail laights are impacted, when was your truck built? I wonder if they have actually fixed this in more recent builds, or you just got lucky?
