This may or may not be informational for some. Also curious where others are standing.

Placed an order with the dealer in NorCal area. Dealer stated they haven’t gotten their 23 allocation yet so we’re in a wait queue. Aiming for April-June delivery in 22.

 

Ordered mine over a month ago, it was a ‘22 at the time, but it will end up being a ‘23. No build date yet.

 

local dealer has a 75 person wait list for the 23s...

 

Didn't Slovakia just go into a lockdown?

Even if they were able to provide a date, I doubt it would mean much at this point in time.

 

I'm in upstate NY, and was told the same by my dealer last week

 

Notably, the Defender is not the top seller in the United States. That slot has gone to the Range Rover Sport. But the Defender still moved 3,762 units the last quarter. Part of the reason for the difference in numbers is the chip shortage. JLR has 128,000 backorders between both brands, of which 34,000 are Defenders. Even with a massively popular lineup, with vehicles that are generally profitable, they are making a loss as there is no way to churn out the volume the market demands.

 

I ordered in August, had a build date in November, and scheduled delivery at the end of December, which was then updated to the beginning of January. Though my dealer tells when once the build is completed it could show up sooner than it's scheduled. So in short 5-6 months is my anticipated wait time.

 

My 90X is built and I just got the Vin#…..now awaiting shipment/delivery… Order was accepted by JLR in September.
Dealer says early January I should have it.

 

another vote for 5-6 months. Seems like the consensus.

 

I am feeling lucky… others have waited much longer….
I reserved a Bonco in July of 2020 and wont be seeing it until 2023 due to the delays with the Black Modular Top.
