Welcome, have they given you that estimated delivery date?
I only ask because I ordered mine on the 12th December. Build date now is 26th Feb. Delivery date 19th March. Those 2x dates were two weeks later up until a few weeks ago when they were brought forward. My spec lock date was the 27th of Jan..
My dealer has also told me other orders placed after mine have had some slipped due to the semi-conductor shortage.
I don't wish to put a dampener on things, but be prepared for some major delays and get some actual dates from your dealer's system.

Has anyone else had this type of issue? And how can they not know where the car is???
Yup, mine slipped and floated around for several days. The trouble I found was nobody knew anything between the stages. So when a stage change happened it was a complete surprise to the dealer.
For example on the 16th of April I posted on here saying it wasn't even on the ship yet, 2 days later I had a call to say it had landed in the country. Then the dealer had no idea when it would arrive at the dealer from the boat....

It's nuts.
I ordered a pair of sunglasses a couple of years ago. I didn't know where they we're coming from but after I ordered them I was able to track them from California, via Atlanta, Charlies De Gaulle and into Stanstead and then all the way to the West Country.
But LR don't know where a Disco is after it leaves the factory !!
Actually I bet they do but can't be
to pass that info on to the dealers.

welcome to the world of JLR. I hear they have appointed Katie Hopkins as head of Customer Relations, so things should get better. I mean when they appointed Victoria Beckham as a designer of the
Evoque, who could doubt she didn’t make a positive contribution to the car?
PS - I personally think we need professional help for keep going back to the brand. There’s something seriously masochistic about people that buy LRs.

Been a busy day today, but the short reason is I now have my new D5. It arrived at the dealer first thing this morning and I picked it up at 6 this even.
First impressions is just wow, the cabin in a step up from my 2018 D5 HSE, premium feeling materials, including the centre console, not sure if the HSE if different. As some of the reviews say it feels like hard.
The engine is so quiet and smooth, and the privi pro is light years ahead of the previous infotainment system.
Like everyone have to wait for the sweeping indicators.
