Another very frustrated LR customer here. Ordered a P440e Dynamic SE last May and no news on any likely delivery date. Dealer adopting avoid/evade tactics.
Extended my Discovery 5 lease by 12 months last year and just about to extend for another 6! Seriously considering cancelling my order and going for a Q7 or Q8, which I know I will regret in time....

Same here, ordered AB 1 week after launch, 8 months later still not able to give any update at all. Currently there are 88 L461 RRS's on Autotrader!!

Not to mention that the price is now £1200 more than I originally ordered and will come with the lower spec stereo...

I have since bought a very low mileage discovery 4 as a 'stop gap' but really questioning whether I can be bothered waiting another 8 months or more when the disco is doing a perfectly good job.

FWIW based on conversations with a contact in LR dealers other than my own, he suggested that it is probably best to assume July onwards for my order...

I paid my deposit in early July, but did say I wanted it September 1st 2023. The salesman said that would work ok. I am hoping that is true based on these posts! MY16 3.0 SDV6 Autobiography in Aleutian silver, stealth pack and toys.

Yup I've been told July onwards and so have lots of people it seems which begs the question as to what that actually means. This year, next year who knows?
Yes not only are there loads of nearly new L461s being advertised for sale in the UK but as a regular traveller on the M40, I see transporter loads of L461s on a regular basis which I guess are being exported to foreign markets. Must admit I cant blame L-R for favouring export markets over the UK market, if that is actually happening, given the weakness of Sterling

Ordered P440e May 11th, Car went into build Nov 21st . Showed as build completed 23rd Dec. Delivery showing as 13th January.

Dealer non responsive to any and all questions about whether this is valid.

Congratulations! But it does beg the question as to why you have received your car but others on this forum, including me, who ordered cars in May are been given delivery dates beyond July 2023. Do you mind me asking which dealer you ordered from?

Went to get an update from my Dealer this week. I too ordered day books opened back in May with no sight of car being built anytime soon.

Word is there is a ‘technical issue’ with PHEV models, so production of these has been halted and all cars currently arriving are Diesels.

Evidently LR will notify dealer 3 months before, of a build slot. So currently working up to Mid- April.

Not the best news, but for dealer is currently commanding £40k over list for nearly new…

Hello All,

Order for my second RR Sport PHEV in with my dealer since last June '22, have been given no build date but dealer has been informed that Irish orders are being built and they have a current delivery date of Qtr 2 - April to June delivereis, can only hope that these dates are being roughly kept too.

Current car a 2019 PHEV HSE, v happy with LR and have taken a test drive in the new machine and v impressed with build etc.

Sorry but nothing received — did you load as photo ?

Hi guys order RRS SE with loads of extras May last year, then never head anything from my dealer who I have purchase the last 3 sports from.

Out of the blue this week and quite shocked to hear from dealer car will be in Glasgow depot for collection next week so going over to look at sport and decide if I will take it.

As I bought a new HSE. Discovery 5 last May as a stop gap vehicle and found quite liked is so pondering 🤔

Great -NOT!
May I ask how you came by this info, without divulging sources of course...
Be good to know if that is genuine or a motor trade rumour

SWMBO got on the dealers case on Monday and he eventually rang back. Gave us JLR customer service number, who, as you can imagine were delighted to hear from her. They claimed to have no more knowledge than the dealer, "so, er please dont phone us again"  Stu
