I think something doesn’t add up. Normally what I see is a delivery date of 2 months (tentatively) from build date. Since build date is available I think it’s with JLR. Not sure why it’s March already. Maybe they have more to deal with before year ends and are being proactive or something else. I ordered and since the dealer didn’t get an allocation in a month I figured it might be a long way as SA was hinting at March. So I cancelled and taking retail stock from another dealer. Just compromising in exterior color from carpathian to black

I put in my order for a X- Dynamic 110 in June 2022. Hand over date was slated for December 2022, then got pushed to Jan 2023 and now pushed further to March 2023. Is this normal?
I'm considering giving up on my order because this is getting harder and harder to justify paying 100k for a vehicle that keeps getting downgraded, on top of 6+ months to be delivered and when you add in the extra months of delays, it doesn't even look like I'm going to get it regardless if I wanted to wait or not.

I picked up my 23 110 S last month and it has the 4 blanks. I figured it was just because I went with a lower trim. If the wiring for the two usb ports are present they look easy enough to retrofit. Also, I don't have the dash port either but it doesn't look like the one in the video does either (1:33).
This would be a deal killer for me. Annoying enough they screwed with the seat backs and went to netting / no usb in the seat itself, but removing them from the lower center console? I'm not paying $87k for a car when $30k minivans have USB charging ports all over.

When was your build date?

I am not sure of the exact build date, but it was sometime in July according to the door jamb sticker. I don't really miss the one in the dash, but I would like the rear ones....

They took the dash one too!? lol. Do we know if newly built Defenders have any charging ports? I'm going to be very disappointed if there's none for the 2nd row but I can work with it if the wiring is there and I can source the plugs elsewhere, something JLR oddly can't do.

Will do, please let me know if you get any updates too! They told me the delays are related to worker strikes at the port. I know the Southampton port was also closed for a few days for the death of the queen.
