Which model have they offered you for 1 September? Is it not a hybrid?

I had a call letting me know it looks like mine will arrive in October and they have had confirmation of the build now.

Interested to hear about the price increase, they didn't mention that to me.
My order is for the plug in p440e Range Rover and it is a petrol Range Rover Sport launch edition they have offered me which I am taking until my order of its bigger brother arrives.

Its the other one that has had the £5k price increase.

I see, sorry I was confused and thought your delayed order was for the RRS.

Will be interesting to see if lead times of both these models improve into next year.

Apologies for any confusion!

They indicated that they have only been allocated 2 Range Rover sports so far for this year, so I guess they are expecting lead time issues with the Sport also.

It is what it is I guess.

To me it just means residual values should remain strong unlike previously, hence why I have never set foot in RR territory before.

Like McLaren, they previously oversupplied which meant values tanked; it seems as though they have both learnt a lesson, although component supply has also dictated this situation also.

Spoke to my dealer today and they are getting a showroom model in next week and demonstrators shortly after.

Hopefully, cars will start trickling through soon!

Has anyone been given a build date? I’ve been allocated a build but no dates as of yet.

I’ve just had confirmation that my car will be delivered end of September, two friends have recently placed orders and been told 12-18 months. Mines through a broker friend who always has interesting cars up his sleeve.

Is your broker friend anticipating any premium on these?

No it’s a pre ordered car.

First one I have seen for sale, wishful thinking on the price perhaps:

The car does look amazing I must say.

That’s just what the configurator shows

I think list for that is around £90k so a heck of an premium (aka stupidity tax)

FFRR have been retailing for around a £30k premium currently as supply increases no doubt will be coming down. Early ones have only recently dropped from doing £50k over.

I suspect as there will be more RRS out there as it looks like LR are going to try and put a good few out at once, I suspect around £25k over list and then settle down to about £15/£20k over but ultimately they are the car to have, bloody desirable and unobtainable for a good while yet.

I’ve been told my P440e is being built mid November for an early December delivery. I wasn’t expecting it so soon but I’ll take it!

Haha funnily enough they did actually specify the year. I won’t be listing my current car until I’ve seen the new one in the flesh though!

What trim level did you go for?

I’ve got a P440e Autobiography on order and at the minute I’ve just been given an estimate of sometime around the end of the year.

Just the dynamic SE. They’d previously refused to give me an estimate until they had a built slot allocated.

I've got a P440e arriving end of month, it's an SE. I've also got a Taycan on order that should've been here months ago, what I'm being told by Porsche is that delivery times are now very spec sensitive due to the availability of parts and chips, I suspect that would extend to other marques.
