Question for All -
Have we as a group come to the conclusion that the pieces are parts typically noted as missing or declined by LR (not on the build sheet) roughly align to the following no-hard-to-believe pattern: The more expensive the trim level, the more likely a build is to get all of the bells and whistles?

To me, it seems like that is the case. Of course, over time, the line of the haves vs have nots will move as parts become more available...and be prepared to have all of your shared parts sucked up by any Range Rover build.

Delivery Day

so I picked up our 110 SE today.

no power ports in second row or on the passenger side in that ledge along the dash.

but. Imagine my surprise




a sun glass holder? Wtf are they smoking at LR lol

we got a single key with another via IOU. Had a minor hiccup trying to register on my phone for in control but used a computer and it was fine.

haven’t done much yet. Gonna head to overland expo east on Sunday for our first road trip. This is the 5+2 third row version.

Like you, my 110 is sitting in the port for who knows what reason since the end of August. No word yet whether it’s on a ship or not.

Ha! Looks beautiful. it seems like the power outlets can be solved relatively easily, though hopefully St. Simon at @PowerfulUK can devise a more plug and play solution for the outlets that do not have a connector. Enjoy!

Congrats Trekkie.
Sorry to hear about the USB ports. Look at the bright side, at least you have an incredibly capable 4x4.
Enjoy the Overland East Expo in VA!

I didn’t have the guts to call my dealer today. After hearing the move to 11/4 date I kind of flipped my lid so I’ll hold until next Friday. Keep posting if any that have been at port since 3rd/4th week of August coming into Baltimore make it onto a ship. Was told supposedly there were two ships that were going to be loaded “soon”. Wonder if they offered a foreign delivery option if it would have taken this long. Always wanted to do that and I’m heading back to Europe 11/25 who wants to take bets that my car arrives while I’m gone that week?

After waiting nearly 3 months at the port, my Defender was finally loaded onto a ship earlier today! Got the notification that it completed production on 7/19 - Defender 90.

Spoke to my dealer and he said that there were three ships that no-showed, causing a delay of >1000 land rover shipments to the US. He contacted me a couple of days ago to say that they had secured another 3 ships to replace the originals, and that my car should be loaded in the next few days.

After numerous delays, I was skeptical - but then thrilled to get the notification that my car had been loaded and is en route for a tentative delivery later this month.

For those still waiting - have faith! It's HAPPENING!
