Model 2023 - Production and delivery date
Took delivery of my 23.5 P400 SE today. Was missing nothing! I got the digital display, meridian surround, signature LED lights, 2 keys, and all charging ports. Salesman told me Land Rover has been better at delivering complete cars recently.
That's good to hear, congrats
Did not get the video mirror, but it wasn’t even an option on my P400 build so I didn’t expect it. I think it was only standard on earlier model years
My 110-X is supposed to be here in three weeks. It was built April 16. The 'build-sheet' shows everything, including the clear view mirror. The only thing changed out was the digital to analog gauges. Everything else that should have been there was listed as installed. I'm a little ambivalent about the analog gauges after a trip to the dealer for a comparison. The 110-X on the floor in the dealership had the clear view camera with analog gauges. I thought it had a good look, and one thing less to go wrong. Given the discussion here, I might even prefer it, and this coming from someone moving out of a RR sport with the digital display. I'll do the inventory when it shows and report. I'm grateful for the forum discussion here, to learn what to be on the lookout for, and I'm looking forward to the new vehicle.

I placed an order for a Defender 110 SE X-Dynamic today (since my Rivian build date keeps getting pushed back). I believe the dealer said estimated delivery would be in mid-late June. He did mention a possibility of the Meridian Surround System being downgraded if not available.

UPDATE - I called my dealer (Land Rover of Pasadena) recently to get an update on the MY 23.5 Defender 110 X-Dyanamic vehicle I had ordered in Feb 2023. They told me that the car had been delivered earlier than expected and that the sales manager had inadvertently sold my vehicle already. I'm not sure what to do now since I had already cancelled my previous Rivian order expecting to get the Defender in June. Remaining build slots for 23.5 cars don't have too many cars spec'd with 3rd row seating. Placing a new order for a MY 24 vehicle would likely push delivery into October 2023.
I dunno how it happens. My sales reps (Ruben and Justin) apparently were both out when the car arrived and they claim the sales manager sold the vehicle (at least that's what their story is). They still have my deposit. I have to decide if I want to try to find a 23.5 build that ticks enough boxes, order a MY 24 vehicle, or cancel altogether and get my deposit back.
