And I just built the most expensive non-v8 model on the website and it's kissing 100K with the options I put on the p300. just nuts. I'm with joeg670, I may just pass on mine if it comes in and wait another 6 months for the one I actually took the time to spec. what happens couple years down the road and you go and sell it and literally nobody wants an analog display and digital displays are in abundance?? haha, no thank you..

When you say that you took time to spec one, what does that mean? I went through the options with the sales guy and chose what I wanted - is that spec'ing one? If so, should I get what I want - meaning the LED screen?

It's not the dealership removing the options. They submit a build to LR and LR builds according to what's ordered. If parts are not available they will get downgraded to an equal or lesser part. Some will be reflected as credit on your build sheet, while others will simply be omitted. This is easier for LR than just halting production because parts are not available. If you don't buy it, someone else will. My Defender 110 X was over $100k and arrived without the digital dash. I did not take delivery of it and my sales guy simply sold it to the next person on his list.

This: "My Defender 110 X was over $100k and arrived without the digital dash. I did not take delivery of it and my sales guy simply sold it to the next person on his list."
Exactly my point. It is INSANE!
I mean...at this point, just build some patience and go to the pre-owned market and I am sure that with $100k you will find a slightly-used-babied Defender (possibly with a bunch of accessories and PPF/Ceramic coating, etc) driven by a soccer mommy/wife that got bored with it and that thing WILL have the Interactive Display and USB ports galore and sunglass holder and much of the other stuff being axed by LR.

I had cheap P300S with air suspension and 3rd row as the only option, 2nd row 12v sockets removed, rear blower removed but interactive display was supplied.

When did you order it and when was it built? I contacted my dealer yesterday and he said that, so far, it looks like I'll get the digital dash - my build is late may. I looked on cars.com and found 2 that I liked, called the dealership and they both had analog.

My most recent build sheet of a P90S has part # “U38ID interavtive display”. Anyone know which display this references. My build is in May. Just wondering if the display is back in stock or not.

That's the LED display. When is your truck slated to be built? I've seen a lot of posts where people say they're getting things and were surprised when the truck was delivered.
