I ordered a P510E autobiography in February: quoting early 2025 for delivery! On the configurator website they quoted 76 weeks but it's more like 100 when you get to it (the deployable towbar adds 3 months by all accounts).

I have a Lotus Eletre arriving middle of this year...will use that and see if I can live with it: I run an iPace at the moment but use my wife's L494 when I need to go anywhere serious.

It will be interesting to see when the Lotus turns up, there're still not delivering Emiras in any quantity. Tim
RRS sold and replaced with a Skoda Kodiaq after appalling RR Dealer experience and LR inability to supply new cars in any sort of reasonable time frame..

One would think there is enough reason to build supplies of chips and the like in the UK instead of the Far East, these days. But we carry on with these out of date ideas of off shoring everything and we now live with the resulting failures. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

I ordered 440e last September and was told 9-12 months then. A few weeks ago I got an email (from dealer) saying the towbar would delay by a month. And last week got another email saying as it’s an SE then it’s gone to 13 months from order. So now looking at 14 months from order and trying to decide at what point I will give up and cancel. I don’t want to find out about further delays and waste yet more time in the wrong car

HI All,

Update from my dealer today - I have a July 2023 Build Slot for a P44oPHEV AB, ordered Aug 2022.

Fingers crossed...I know anything could happen between now and then and also at the cusp of the 2024MY build - dealer doesn't think there will be many changes in model year spec with hardly any cars coming out of the factory.

My P440e Dynamic SE now has a build slot and is pencilled in to land at the dealership around the middle of June. By the time I get it, it'll be almost exactly 12 months from ordering.

I have just had an update to say I have no update.
Still in the pool.
Still blaming the towbar.

Not worried yet, ordered in August 22 and they said 12 months.

Fingers crossed you get the same update I did - i.e. your order brought forward due to a cancelled order and then a build date within weeks MY23, 3.0 P440e PHEV AB, Carparthian Grey, Deep Garnett interior

Gives me a few months before I panick and have to choose Black or Carpathian grey.

LOL - my neighbour hetting his Varesine blue RRS D350 next this month - will be a good guide to see if Varesine is the colour for us...have until early June before spec gets locked. MY23, 3.0 P440e PHEV AB, Carparthian Grey, Deep Garnett interior

Good news it’s around 12 months from order to delivery. I also ordered the P440E SE Dynamic, hopefully I’ll get my build slot in the next few months for delivery in September. I ordered the Verasine Blue with the 22” satin dark grey wheels.

I’ve seen a RRS in the flesh with the same colour and wheels, it looks amazing. Same about the insurance quotes going crazy.

I have cancelled and am getting a used bmw iX 50 instead. Got fed up with dealer lying to me. The insurance was a bit of a worry but really I hate waiting and uncertainty!

I got very close to buying an ix50 whilst waiting, I even got as far as making an offer on one, but it was already sold.

The exterior looks are a bit of a challenge but it’s a great car, and the 50 offers a good range bump from many EVs (I currently have an I Pace).
