I don't do waiting very well.
You have the same dates almost for my 23.5MY Order I place last week….I’m going to go see if I can swap or spec mine to be a 2024 tomorrow with out moving the dates to far.

I still don't know what combination driver's display & center display I'm getting. analog/11inch - analog/10 inch - IDD/11inch - IDD 10inch, mine also seems to be one of the last 23.5's. totally ridiculous I have to wait to "day of" to know.

I agree, it’s ridiculous. My dealer seems very confident about what mine is going to be equipped with, however, I am not. In the process of doing research for my build, I came across several Defenders with window stickers listing IDD but actually equipped with analog displays. I will believe it when I see it.

agreed! I don’t like surprises and hope I get the options that they show and allow to be placed on the order form. It’s crazy the option that are changed when it’s built.

In reviewing the build sheet I received today, in the list of items under standard specification there is a line item that states “LESS Blind Spot Assist Pack.” Does that mean blind spot monitoring will not be included? That’s a big deal for me.

I’ve factory ordered Porsches, Audis, Ferraris, etc. and never have I been this confused.

I just discovered that part of the standard specifications list too. I would say yes, if it says LESS it means it is not included. Mine also says "LESS" blind spot monitoring. But it may mean LESS the rear door blind spot monitoring, I can't imagine these come without front side mirror blind spot monitoring.... But it also says YES IDD so.. I'm taking all this with a serious grain of salt. AGAIN ITS SO DAMN CONFUSING

Just to make this even worse, I just noticed a line item that says Blind Spot Assist. So I guess it has Blind Spot Assist but not Blind Spot Assist PACK.

I only really care about the side mirror blind spot monitoring. I think your explanation is correct. Thank you.

I noticed on my built that it shows LESS Blind Spot Package but then show Blind Spot Assist included….ugh I can’t seem to understand this sheet with all the “less” items.

Maybe I am in the minority here,,,,but the nonsense being generated over the IDD, well, is just that...nonsense, in my opinion of course. I picked up a 130 loaner yesterday with the IDD and have been playing with it to see what we might have missed with our TFT..I find the dual gauge display far less attractive than the analogue gauges. When you power up the car, a nifty little picture appears on the screen..But I already know what my car looks like... The full screen map is useless due to the fact it does not broadcast Waze or other CarPlay features.
We were able to get the 11.4" center in ours, and frankly, would rather have that combo than the IDD with the 10" screen any day.....Again, just my humble opinion..!

I think the confusion about "blind spot" functionality is a mislabeled option.

They are all being delivered with basic blind spot detection but without the "safe exit" assist whioh is being shorted - the spot is now covered by a plastic blank. The LED that should light up is not there in doors.

Mine shows the same "LESS" line in details.
