My 22 finally arrived the other day! Originally ordered back in December, converted to a 2022 on March 5th when the dealer finally got allocation. It arrived last friday, a few weeks ahead of schedule which was originally August 8th. Took them 2 days to get it prepped and cleaned up for me and picked it up on Tuesday. Loving it so far, already got a set of BFG KO2's ordered and have it booked in at the paint shop to black out the silver on the front/back bumper. Zero regrets ditching the bronco pre-order I had. Also the 11.4" screen is amazing, big improvement, not only physically bigger but the resolution/DPI seems much higher. It also seems a bit more responsive, but that might be in my head I haven't directly compared them.
Only frustration I've had so far is with the Auto Hold, it was driving me nuts. Makes it dangerous to maneuver in tight spaces as it was engaging literally every time the car came to a stop. Once I realized what was happening and figured out how to turn it off all is good. I have no idea why anyone would want this always enabled, as you can turn it on manually on demand by just pumping the brake pedal which is genius. I'm coming from an FJ which now feels ancient in comparison.

Well, if a V8 is the priority, most of the missing order options on an X5 50i are back including the upgraded sound systems. Delivery time is about 3 weeks after placing an order. It's a beast with Cayenne Turbo power for $95K. We tried to order an X5 40i but only the base radio is available on that model and clock radio sound in a $70K vehicle isn't for us. So now we have a second Defender on order.

I have a 110 V8 that at the port in Maryland. According to my dealer, it’s just waiting on a fix for the lights. Unfortunately he has no idea as to when that will happen.
