Hmm, not sure. I got the 11.4 inch screen too but no electronic rear diff. Other options I added were the pano sunroof. clear sight mirror, adaptive cruise air suspension and cold climate pack.

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.

Has anyone heard any news/rumors about the Defender’s factory reopening?

I have a base P300 with 11.4 screen, so I'll be curious if it shows up with that screen.
Mine was builtin early mid-June and is still sitting, waiting to board a ship. Dealer said it should be on a ship this week....still waiting.

Okay, so that's interesting. My dealer claimed that my P300 showed as built on 6/27. I'm going to try to get an update today from them. It's odd that you would have such a longer deliver time than me. I'm in St. Louis for reference.

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.

110 S without large screen was built 6/29 due 8/20 in Boston. Sitting at port and dealer says it should be on boat soon!

@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.

FWIW, I went and checked mine using a variety of high powered LED lights and I couldn't get mine to go out. I have the regular red tail lights on an X-Dynamic, not the smoked version.

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?
