Does anyone know what the anticipated production numbers for Defenders will be for 2022 or what have been so far in 2022?

 

Can't speak for the Defender, but I spoke to a dealer a month ago they said JRL was hoping to manufacturer 40% of the Discovery's they normally produce because of the shortages.

I was told by a dealer today JRL is not taking anymore Discovery orders, I would assume they are saving all parts for Defenders and RR's

 

Well that is good, at least you know its built and on the way.

 

From a story that popped up a few weeks ago, if memory serves, it's just under 6000/month with a 40k unit backlog. This was pre-Ukraine.

At that rate, it's close to taking the #1 spot from Evoque and not far from beating all of Jaguar unit sales combined.

Off-topic, that story made me want to buy a final petrol model year F-Type before Jag bets the house on six-figure EV's. What would that be worth in 25 years with 100 miles on it?

I'm collecting all the V8's I can right now, they will be HUGE in the future IF EV does what they say or want it to do. Can you imagen the last model year F-type V8 supercharged across the Auction floor in 15 years or less!!!!

 

I'd say 1.5 Million.

 

The only problem will be getting gasoline for it, lol!

 

For the short term so true, but I've seen this so many times now its kinda numbing. lol

 

Where do you think the gas is going to go? We'll still be pumping crude to make literally almost everything else we use on a daily basis and the 19 gallons of gas in each 42 gallon barrel is a waste byproduct if we don't use ICE cars.

Rockefeller was doing okay when he controlled crude oil but he made his real money when they found a market for all the waste gas he was burning off.

Where will we put enough gas to circle the planet 4x a year in barrels stacked upright next to each other? This is a real question and there is no plan.

 

Just got acceptance of my P300 order with 7/22 delivery!!!!!!
