Does anyone happen to know which ship this batch of Defenders are being transported on and its current status? I assume it should be pretty close to the US east coast port by now and once unloaded should make it to Michigan within probably a week or two.

Ours is on the Brooklands which is in Baltimore now. It was in Zeebrugge July 23 and left there July 27.

My ship - Morning Peace arrived on 8/2 in Baltimore originally scheduled for 8/4. My delivery date is scheduled for 8/12, but hopefully its a couple days sooner. I'm in the Midwest

I noticed my X-Dynamic now has an SE on the end, and while HUD and Interactive Displays are there, the 10” screen shows selected, with no 11” showing at all.

Original build date 7/17... Pushed to 7/31. Now "will be built this week" because the factory shut down for summer vacation?

Question....Once the Defender gets on the ship, what is the ballpark time to arrive to dealer? In this case Florida. I believe it would come to the Brunswick GA port. Thanks

I’m in Australia. Placed an order with the dealer in Feb ‘22. Spoke to them today and have been told I’m ‘third in the queue and they are expecting 5 allocations mid-August’.

I then can expect a 3 month delivery time from production. Based on this forum it looks like it’s a two month wait between order and production so I’m hoping 5 months would take me to an early 2023 delivery.

Today, my dealer told me the car he helped me spec in the configurator might be ready in 6 to 9 months. The dealer charges $10,000 markup and told me it is cheap compared to $30,000 at a dealer 15 miles away.

Same port and similar distance to dealer and was 10ish days. Quicker than I expected.

Are you in Australia? Which dealer are you going through?
