This has to be excruciatingly painful to know that your truck is built and sitting waiting to ship. My delivery date is scheduled for 12/10 and I KNOW that I will be very impatient if it starts to slip too much----my other car is NOT (911 Cab) is clearly now what I want to be driving in the winter in Connecticut (or I guess, to be safe, I need to be praying for a mild winter!!).

looks like we are all in similar situations. Hopefully they will be put on ships this week as JLR distribution told my dealer.

Thanks for sharing, I was not tracking an amp shortage. Amp for the Meridian sound system?

My dealer said without the amp, none of the safety audio chimes work, and therefore, they can't sell the car.

I was lucky and mine came with the amp, but needed some kind of update that just took a day.

Not sure what other package/option would change that. Nice catch. Also, no idea what “power pack” he’s talking about. Can’t change my order anymore anyways but never even seen it on the dealer’s side of software and ordering or the Build and Price on LR’s USA website. Regardless, excited for mine.
I asked my dealer about the lack of power ports on the 2nd row in the 130s and he said he doesn't see any option to add or remove it on his computer. I know JLR have been removing things but this should concern 110 and 90 soon to be owners as well. Maybe it's just a thing affecting the first editions. I do see "Powerpack 24" and "Power Socket Pack 1" as standard on different materials but what is that on the Defender?

well my 2023.5 MY 110 is supposed to be here by the 7th, hopefully. I'll report in on what the power port situation is then.

Will be pretty annoying if those are gone, i have a newly minted teenager and a tween that would be heavy users of those on the roadtrips we do.

Eager to hear. For a 21st century vehicle, even if it wasn't almost $100k, this is pretty standard stuff.

Interesting point. It seems Land Rovers are generally more expensive in other countries than the US, even after factoring in the currency conversion. Could be better returns or some currency conversion benefits from doing what you say. Who knows.

The call just came in from the dealer that my MY23.5 110X is in and will be ready for PU tomorrow afternoon in TX. I'll post whether there is anything missing.
