That moves my build date from May 12th to the 21st of April. Of course, I would much prefer the build date move in my favor instead of farther away.

My last amendment and build date are the same as yours. 👍

Sweet! Where are you located? I'm in the NC mountains (almost Tennessee) so I guess mine will come in through Charleston? I haven't seen much about tracking builds by boat (i.e. following the shipment).

I think my estimated delivery date is now June 9th? Makes sense, because after east coast the roro ships go through the Panama canal to get to San Diego and on up the west coast. I was initially told June 30th.

There are loads of posts on this topic throughtout this thread. As you can imagine, its somewhat periodic as a group of us wait for our ships to come in and never talk about shipping again once the truck is here. However, once you get a name from your dealer watch Marine Traffic or Vessel Finder. You'll need the paid version if you want any information while over the Atlantic.

I lived in the TN mountains near Flagpond (almost NC) while at ETSU...long time ago.

Where will you take your new truck once it arrives?

Congrats!!

Ordered my 23.5MY D90S in the middle of January in the Boston area. Last amendment date was Feb 27, build date is April 14 and delivery on June 9. These dates were moved earlier than anticipated. Build sheet now shows analog gauges and standard LED headlights. I'm disappointed about not getting the premium LED headlights, am OK with the analog gauges but its all good. I won't see the headlights from behind the wheel anyway. It will have the fog lights.

When I ordered my 992 in 2020, Porsche had at Track Your Dream website that allowed me to see where in the build process my car was. Once the car was on a ship, they provided a link that allowed me to check on progress across the Atlantic, thru Panama Canal, and then up the coast to California. Does Land Rover have something similar?

There is no dedicated tracking website, but you can reach out to your dealer for the vessel information and then track it yourself.
