Has anyone else put a deposit down to secure an order for the New RRS?
I put a deposit down yesterday and was told LR is likely to open the configurator in April, with aproximately a 12 month lead time, if I didn’t want one or he 1st edition cars that will be pre-specced.
The dealer said they are being careful who they allow to order a car - only existing customers and within a 50mile radius of the dealer.

OK, another geeky financial post.
I have now gone through the full tank of fuel in the RRS.
In that time, I also fully charged the car 5 times. Plus the car came fully charged from the dealer (so I have added a full charge cost on too).
In total I managed 622 miles.
The total cost of fuel plus all charges at current cap rates means that it has cost me 26p per mile.
Therefore, it is a little more economical on full EV mode rather than using the fuel or hybrid mode. Full EV mode is around 21-22p per mile. But of course you are limited to 55-60 miles at most. The above proves, nothing really to worry about in using hybrid mode, it is not a LOT more expensive.
Very happy with that to be honest, for such a large, heavy and luxurious car.
Enough of the maths now, time to carry on enjoying it now that I know it is more economical than most other cars I have recently owned, except the fully electric Tesla which is more than 50% less costly per mile, but is also 50% less comfortable and luxurious.
Another long trip coming this week so I will be at around 1000 miles by the end of this week...loving it!

Found a brand new D350 Autobiography sport on autotrader a couple of weeks ago so bought that.
Saves waiting silly lead times. Paid a tiny premium over list but well worth it.
Tony congrats on your new RRS. If you don’t mind me asking - what’s amounts to a tiny premium, please? Saves waiting silly lead times. Paid a tiny premium over list but well worth it.
Hi Guys, My 440e ordered in May '22 is due to arrive next week at the dealers and they informed me this week that it is price protected against the new increase (circa £5k) on the basis I take delivery next week.... Next week isn't great timing for me. Does anyone know if this is a directive from Land Rover that the price protection is only for cars delivered in July?
Thanks!!
Thanks!!
