I received my Defender last week. Clearsight mirror, digital gauge cluster and 11" screen were listed. None made it.

I couldn't care less about the digital gauges, but I wanted Clearsight and larger screen.

The digital gauge cluster will likely age poorly - it's one reason Bugatti's are designed with and ship with analog gauges - but I wanted the Clearsight mirror for if/when I mount a spare tire platform to the rear wheel of have the rear filled up enough with "stuff."

 

I think I know the answer but I have to ask.... did they adjust the build price accordingly like other manufactures are?

@Drewes - What trim level was it? X? SE? etc.

 

AussieAdventures you get that once you've been slotted, i.e. order accepted.

 

seems if you are in Ireland, your screwed, can even get a "it will be built this year" so frustrating when they take your money for a deposit and say yeah, June.....would appear that other higher value markets get priority even if ordered later (waiting since Jan this year) anyone hear same?

 

Yeah… curious if this is an X or above? Or any model below? My dealer states X and above are priority when it comes to features/options.
Can anyone with a 2023 X model or above confirm any items being removed?

 

👍🏼… when I received an actual build allocation.

 

Similar to some previous posters I was notified today by the dealer that there would be no Defender allocations for April or May and allocations will resume in June. I'm waiting for a 110 V8 allocation and until this week the dealer was very hopeful for this month. Since my order has been delayed 2 months already, I asked about skipping V8 build and instead pre-ordering Defender SVR (with BMW v8), sight-unseen. So far, dealer claims to be in the dark about when they can take SVR orders. Anyone else inquired about Defender SVR?

 

when the dealers “hold pool” order gets accepted by JLR and gets a build date

 

I don't know what MY 23.5 will hold, but I have been thinking that it would make no sense for the 130 to come out without anything different than the current 90/110 other than the extra length. Typical LR styling refreshes come out every 4th model year, give or take. It would make sense to me for the 130 to lauch with the refresh, otherwise it would look old once the 110 gets its refresh. And I can't see LR going 6+ model years with the original Defender look and no changes. So, perhaps the MY23.5 and 130 will have some syling updates that will launch simultaneously?
