It's starting to get real. Mine is on board the Heritage Leader currently out of Southampton in the Channel headed for the Panama Canal. Projected to arrive at the Canal August 9th.

Not clear if it will come all the way to Tacoma by boat or unload in Long Beach. Looking like we, should beat the 9.2 delivery date in Spokane. 😁

I think all LR west coast deliveries land at Port Hueneme near LA (not Tacoma like several Asian manufacturers). When I followed my MY19 L494's voyage to LR Colorado Springs even that trip included a truck trip "backwards" from California.

What dealer in PA did you use? I ordered a 130 from Harrisburg LR on 7/10 and was given a delivery date of 12/1.

It has been a fantastic experience so far with no issues. Thanks all for providing all the questions and answers on here. This is a fantastic resource!

Added side steps, added pet partition, added cross bars and luggage rack (not in photos).

I live near Allentown, PA
Ordered Feb 25, 2023 (After two test drive dates)
Last Amendment Date March 6, 2023
Built on April 21, 2023
Delivered on June 16, 2023
(I picked it up on the June 24th, because I was out of town on business)

Everything was 100% honest and all dates and options met the the customer order sheet received on March 6th (exactly as above).
I was able to get the VIN from the dealer two weeks after it was built and review the NFTSA notes online track which boat it was on.
As I waited I used this website to research little things and ended up adding side steps, cross rails, and a pet partition. I also purchased a back door table and a ram mount cell phone holder but have not installed them.

Everything went off without a hitch. I reviewed my order against what was provided.
Everything is included! except the fully digital display--I got the half analogue, but it is very sleek and good looking. I thought I would be bummed with it, but its really nice.
The PIVY has updated once. I've driven 2500 miles. I haven't had any issues. I followed info on here to get everything set up correctly with the app remote and uconnect.

Yes, I got the 700 watt meridian surround, DLR LED headlights, and USBs throughout.
I did get a ceramic coat and a windshield film due to the windshield crack complaints, but honestly it really holds up well. It does not stand anymore upright than a Jeep so it should not break.
I have not changed the windshield wipers, I think they do a fine job. I do wash and clean the car each week because I enjoy it so much and want to take good care of it.

Awesome--I am a first time poster. I can't wait to post on the "Land Rovers in the Wild" thread and get this thing out in the mud and water.

Very very happy with it so far!

Somewhere on here I saw someone post that theirs came, through Tacoma. That's what got me thinking about it. Before that I assumed, that it would be an East Coast port.

​​​​​​Tacoma, would be cool because I could watch it sail past my house and wave at it, only to have to go get it from Spokane a week later. 🤣

Either way, it's starting to become real and I'm getting excited. I had a Mach E on order last year, did the whole 6 month wait, then had to cancel right before delivery (moving and wasn't in a position to get a charger installed in a short term rental). I've been trying not to get excited this time around.

On my way to pick up my 6/8 build date in So Cal. As for shipping, it was exactly 30 days on boat, 2 days in market distribution, 4 days in transit to dealer and half a day for dealer prep.

first post, mine finally arrived. sweet!
ordered 5/2022
accepted my order 12/22
built in june
waited over a year. jeez. i wanted a pretty basic P300 so maybe kept getting pushed to back of the line so they could sell more expensive rigs?

super pumped so far. the only bummer is it came on michelin latitudes. I live in CO and dont wanna get into trouble this winter. i'll need to spend some time on the tire threads to figure out what i need
