Hi, So I finalized my order of a new Discovery back on 2/12/18

The build date my dealer gave me has these dates:
Last Amendment Possible: 2/7/18 (yes five days before I have the go ahead and three days after the printout was produced)
Build Date: 3/16/18
Delivery Date: 4/20/18
Accepted Handover: 4/25/18
Planned Handovver: 4/25/18
Customer Handover:

So what happens on 3/16 ? Do they start building or is it done on that day?
Looks like it arrives in a US Port on 4/20 The ocean part alone is 12 days I would guess. Plus getting it loaded with others back in UK customs etc. It must be at the port in the UK by April 1ish .

Anyway, all that really matters is the day I get it but I am curious about the whole process if anyone has any experience or insight.

 

Build date is build date.

That is the day it was built (finished).

 

Thanks.
It will be nice to know it is done even though it has a long way to travel.

Now that I think about it, cars are the original assembly line product so I guess it only takes a day or two to build it anyway?

 

It was built on 3/16. Spent some time at the port in the UK.
Arrived in Baltimore on Monday 4/2.
I was told it takes about a week to leave Baltimore, customs, port installed options etc.
I am not sure if it goes on a train or truck from there but I imagine it would be a train for most of the way to Boston then a car carrier truck to the dealer.
