Article says the DHL strike could have a knock on effect on production.

Chased my Jun-21 order yesterday. Best estimate is end of Mar-22, but not sure I believe this as the car still does not have a build slot. The DHL article is interesting as my conversations yesterday made me realise the production delays are not all about semiconductor shortages - apparently Brexit is a complicating factor as it is now harder for JLR to move components/ assemblies/ product across borders, and the HGV driver shortage is a further issue to contend with.

The irony here is that JLR invested a fortune in an engine plant not far from where I live, in a constituency that voted for Brexit. They must be feeling pretty cheesed off right now.

As an aside (whilst I’m here), I was thinking of cancelling my order as by the time it arrives RRS3 will be imminent. Having now seen the leaked pics of FFRR L460 I may still roll with my RRS2 order after all as progress isn’t always that good. Not sure about the new FFRR - I’m sure we will grow to like it in time, but what is going on with that weird diffuser thingy at the back, and why make the interior look like a big Velar than take it in a new innovative/ fresh direction? Current: Cayenne GTS (got fed up with waiting for LR to build my third RRS)

Gone: RRS SDV8 AB, RRS SDV6, Vauxhall Nova 1.0, Nova 1.3 SR, Nova 1.4 SRi, Renault Laguna (why?), BMW 318is coupe (fabulous - despite having to buy a radio and tape player for it from Halfords), 323i saloon, 325ti compact (superb), 320td compact (awful), VW Golf 2.0d 4Motion (all the car you really need), BMW 120d compact (excellent), 118d compact (slow), 335d coupe (rapid)

My June 22nd order for a HSE Dynamic P400e is still scheduled for November 12th and expected delivery to the dealer by the end of the month.

Looks very random with orders? 2023 P440e SE Dynamic on order -cancelled

2022 HSE Dynamic P400e

2017 Discovery 3.0 HSE Silicon Silver Nimbus interior and a few extra toys SOLD

2013 HSE Black, Orkney Grey, Ebony Seats and Ivory Interior SOLD

2006 HSE

Plus a few other cars inbetween!

At the moment it's quite tricky...

Yesterday I got the information that my RRS was put on the truck. On Monday morning it will arrive at my dealership. By latest end of week I can collect it

Ordered 24th of March
Delivery dates were: July, August, Undefined, November

Now, I am happy to collect it soon  Range Rover Sport HST D350

Lucky you… I am still waiting for my SVR. Ordered back in June, production slot unknown…

Good luck Sequoia; sounds like you are in the same position as me. On Friday afternoon I was told that if I delete my Drive Pro Pack and the 360 cameras then it should be possible to allocate a build slot … but that it could be 6 months ahead. And this was only after I had chased (again). I can forgive global events outside of LR’s control - i.e. the chip shortage - but the lack of transparency and proactive communication is not good enough.

I have requested an X5 M50i loan car for a couple of days. Assuming it is as good as I expect it to be, then I shall be heading back to BMW. This is a great shame as I consciously took a decision in June when I ordered that I would continue to support British manufacturing … but I am not prepared to support poor customer engagement  Current: Cayenne GTS (got fed up with waiting for LR to build my third RRS)

You guys are lucky to get a choice!

On my car they literally dropped the options they didn't have (Driver Assist & Surround Cameras) and sent it into locked build mode without telling me or the retailer.

So the only option was to either cancel it or start all over again or just take what I was given.

With that being said it is what it is I guess. Non JLR Vehicle

Hi all

Today I had the collection day for my HST
What a car... compared to my MY16 SDV6, it is another world! Steering feedback, driveability... outstanding! Drives like a larger sedan - very agile

Puh.. long time to wait but now it arrived home

Just had a feedback from my leasing broker saying the new RRS is now showing delivery before Xmas .

Great news isn’t it.

But he asked my sign again the order form and the cost monthly is increased.

I already had my order and contract figures all signed and agreed back earlier in March 2021.

Wth is going on . He said Lex auto lease says previous contract is void.

Has anyone ever come across as such?

Is it just nonsense or have the dealership/ lex autolease screwed up in their own order In-house ?

Harrison,

Glad you finally have your RRS! Photos please (: MY2022 HSE Silver D300 in Firenze Red with black contrast roof

Early May order for me, original delivery mid-Aug but thought I'd ask for an update today - now looking at mid-November!

Frustrating, but also costly - my X5 has increased by £6k over the last couple of months so I was really keen to take advantage of the daft used car prices out there at the moment - can't afford to be without until Nov (or longer!) though...

@Eagle77
Here we go pictures taken last Monday after the RRS arrived at my dealership

EDIT: I have uploaded the photos but they don't appear, hm :/ have to check when I am at home

That sounds really unfair but quite possibly within the terms - your build slot in December is very valuable so they know if you cancel (As your terms will likely allow given that your initial lead time would likely have been July/Aug?) they will very easily sell 'your' vehicle to someone else at a much higher price.

On contrary it says for September delivery In my order with the leasing firm. Now the leasing company said the contract agreement is signed so it’s in their system. Am pretty sure it’s legal binding. I have not cancel whatsoever, matter of just waiting for delivery.

Just got the estimated build date from my P400e HSE Silver that I ordered at the end of August. Expected build date is 20 Jan, or almost exactly 6 months after ordering, which in the current climate isn’t too bad. If the date doesn’t slip (and I know that might be a big “if”…) then presumably that’ll mean delivery around early February?
