I got my order confirmed for my 90S. As others have stated Clearsight is not available and the instrument panel is down graded to the Analog/digital display. My build is set for 2/25 with a delivery date of 5/6. It is currently showing the larger display screen as part of the build, but we will see if it holds. I'm not too bummed about the deletions because I opted for a lesser build to begin with. As another poster stated, I think the smaller display looks more integrated and I opted for no pano roof. Also, it's just my Wife and myself so the rear seats will be folded down 90% of the time. I would have much preferred the full digital driver's display, but I figure with the Pangea Green, White roof, and White steelies, maybe the analog gauges will add to the somewhat retro look.

HI I bought a used 2020 Defender while I waited for my 2022 to arrive. 10 months later the 2022 arrived without the HUD which I was already used to from the 2020. After two weeks of driving my new Defender I don't miss it. I am personally not a fan of the Clearsight mirror, I find it very disorienting to drive with. I also did not receive the 11.4 inch screen. The regular sized screen is really sufficient especially with CarPlay, its easy to read and interface with. You are lucky the dealership gave you heads up about the missing items. I didn't find out until I showed up on the lot to pick up the car. I love my Defender. Its an amazing car even thought it is not exactly what I ordered.

Is there documentation to support that the P300 will not be provided to the New Defender models? If so, when?
Thanks.

I hope that is not the case. I have a 110S P300 on order. I compared it to the X package and the same options increased the price from $66K to $79K, and I can't get the white roof and steelies I want and have to take a panoramic roof and a part-time hybrid system I don't want.

Believe so, you were downgraded from the interactive display to this. You will have to grill your dealer for a definite answer, they are grimy and act like they weren't aware. They're aware....

I am wondering if Land Rover would program it and if it would effect the warranty. You know they'll look for any reason to void a warranty if you strolled in there with a blown engine or something.
