Mine has been sitting in Delaware since Dec. 8th or so....apparently waiting on getting the side steps installed? That's what the dealer said at least (yawn)
*PEDANT ALERT* I believe you mean Maryland, it should be in Baltimore.
Mine also arrived in Baltimore on the 9th. As of this AM, news from my Sales Manager (great guy, BTW) is that I am now on a truck.
Updates last week were that it was in port having software update and mud flaps installed.
While slightly later than hoped, it is still well within the window of my goal when I ordered it- to have it in 2023. Looks like I should have it before Christmas
Curious if anyone knows what ships are headed to Baltimore soon or where to find that info. Is there anyone following this thread with an estimated delivery / handover of around Jan 7th to the northeast? As of last week mine was waiting for a ship, build date 11/16, estimated handover 1/7 in Boston. I would think to be anywhere close to that handover date that it would have to get on a ship like in the next few days, and that's probably a stretch time wise. Like most I'm patiently/un-patiently anxious! haha.

Google Wallenius Wilhelmson roro schedule and K Line's roro schedule (2 different companies) to find dates and ships. Those are the two I see doing most of the Land Rover deliveries to the US and beyond but I don't know if they're the exclusive shipping partners.

Our second Defender is probably on the same ship as yours. It had an 11/15 build date and estimated handover in Boston on 1/12. Whenever it does appear, it's going straight from Land Rover Peabody to Unique Car Care in Middleton for ceramic coating. They did our black Defender and it still looks like new after 2 years and 34K miles. And if you ordered the Goodyear Wranglers, you need to get a set of winter tires. I have a set of Nokians ready and waiting in my garage. Happy Holidays to you as well!

How much does Unique Car Care charge to ceramic coat a 110 Defender?
Just checked their website and for their top package with lifetime warranty it says $1895 for larger SUV's, using Ceramic Pro. I don't know how that compares price wise but their process seems pretty solid as explained.

The quality of their work is outstanding. I live on the South Shore and they are well worth the trip. They also did our X5, which will be replaced by the Defender whenever it appears.
Missing the usual stuff:
No USBs in the usual missing spots
No sunglass holder
Oddly, the exterior protection pack, which are the mudflaps.
I know 130 has a different part number for the rear.
However, I did get:
2 key fobs
Meridian Surround (standard on the 130)
Also, I thought it was being removed, the rear door hold in place mechanism (I forget the name).
Was this not a recent casualty?
