She's on her way to Savannah now so for us Baltimore folks, yes. I believe RoRo gate operations are 8am-5pm so the first of us were probably leaving today, or so I would assume. Dealers should have an updated delivery date in their system. Unfortunately there's no way for us to track them independently.

I would agree with that line in the sand.
I've had my 110 X for a month now and the Meridian Surround is awesome and I'd call it a must if you're paying the X-trim price. I don't have my USBs (yet - will be added later through a dealer campaign) but haven't missed them yet, the soft-close tailgate can be retrofitted via Vulkan's kit, although I doubt I will as the door closes and locks with very low force. I put my sunglasses on the little dash cubby to the left the wheel. Some others on the forums were having their sunglass holders falling open anyway lol

Yes, the dealer sent me an updated build sheet which showed the removal of the Meridian "Surround" and a credit of $450. Unfortunately I think any build which happened after 10/1 got the removal of the Meridian "Surround"

So if build sheets are to be trusted I'll have the premium system, and not all Defenders built in October are missing Meridian Surround.

My situation is, I ordered a 110 X with a build date of 11/10, so maybe anything after 11/1 didn't get the premium system?

Update from my dealer this evening: I just checked and your Defender is at port currently and it has a ETA of 12/23…. They do install items at the port so that may be why the change. I’ll keep monitoring it to see if it changes. Everything could change as soon as they release it to be loaded on a truck it takes about 2 days to arrive.
