My '23 RR Auto has "off assembly" status which is usually the final step before it goes to port to be shipped to the US since June 7th.

This was dated June 23rd.....

I received word back that the New Range Rover’s are built but have not left the production factory yet as they are waiting on a part/semiconductor that controls the ‘powered gesture tailgate’ feature.

They are considering shipping vehicles without this feature and then having us add the part when they become available, but a final decision hasn’t been made as of yet by JLR.

Curious - what was your build date?

 

I believe it was the first week of April but not certain....if the exact date is important to you I will certainly inquire?

 

I just thought if you knew it offhand you could share it. I am curious what build dates could be affected.

Is powered gesture tailgate where you wave your foot under the trunk and it opens? Personally, I feel like thats overrated.

 

If you have kids/a lot of things to haul, you'll know how useful it is

 

I just received an update from my dealer. My ‘23 RR Auto moved from “off assembly” to “at port”. He tells me that it’s 10-14 days to dealer here in Buffalo NY once ship has sailed…..

 

I'm in a Buffalo suburb and was recently able to submit my build to Northtown for a 23' RR.

 

I am assuming without power gestured tailgate option installed

 

Mine ordered last week has it (Est. Arrival November-December)

 

Mine has it

 

Latest news from Land Rover copy/pasted 7/12/'22;


The New Range Rover is still showing at port in the UK. There was a national conference call yesterday on this. Apparently there is some sort of logistic/port capacity issue in Europe that is slowing down vehicles being loaded onto ships in the UK. We are waiting to hear the exact details of the logistic issue at the port overseas and the timing to resolve.

 

My Defender has been enjoying the summer in one of continental Europe's ports for weeks. Slacker.

 

It probably likes the ocean view 🤣

 

I am guessing lack of people lookin to work…..just like here in the States “Go Brandon”

 

I literally just got a note from the sales person that the Defender was loaded on a boat yesterday in Belgium & this morning it's in Southampton UK (probably loading more Land Rovers). So, expect at least some vehicles to be on their way towards Baltimore, soon.

 

Latest text message from my dealer;

Good morning Tom - finally some good news! Your New Range Rover is loaded onto a ship. The ship will leave the UK tomorrow!

 

Latest from my dealer;

Hi Tom - the system shows a port arrival date in Baltimore of 8/4/22.

There is definitely some sort of logistic issues in Europe right now as this time on a ship is a bit longer than normal.

But the date shows 8/4.

 

can you ask him/her the boat's name? (they can see it in their system)

 

The Boat's name is Morning Peace, I tried to access the tracking myself but was unable

 

MORNING PEACE, Vehicles Carrier - Details and current position - IMO 9780627 - VesselFinder

Vessel MORNING PEACE (IMO 9780627, MMSI 538007249) is a Vehicles Carrier built in 2017 and currently sailing under the flag of Marshall Islands.

Try vesselfinder. It was somewhat accurate when I was tracking shipment on my Audi.

 

Thanks for the help but I will just resort to contacting my dealer

 

we're literally in the same boat then, my Defender is also there.

 

I figured that from your previous message stating to expect boat soon. I found it difficult to pinpoint the exact location of “Morning Peace” myself so am relying on dealer…..if you hear any more on location please share?
I am in Buffalo NY, what part of the country are you in?

 

I'm in NH, few hundred miles east of you.
The boat is currently in Germany, "at anchor" - probably collecting a few German cars also.When I was given the boat name 6 days ago, the ETA to Baltimore was 7/31. Now you're getting 8/4.
Looks like it's still being loaded, based on the date slip and current status/location.

It's an enormous ship, I found this pic online

 

Duhh, I re-read prior message and just got "we're literally in the same boat then".....kinda funny saying. My good friends have a summer home in Wolfeboro NH on the lake. Well I believe that everything happens for a reason (makes daily problems seem less drastic) so not the end of the world that it's takin its time gettin here

 

For those of you looking at doing the SVO paint, here's my build. Its taking much longer than expected.

 

@1956BuFord The cargo ship officially reported its next destination, so it looks like it's heading out soon. Meantime the port arrival date slipped to 8/12.

 

I see that it's no longer at port in Germany but cannot see where it is headed next.....back to UK possibly it forgot to pack something (ha ha)

 

Looking closer I see that next scheduled stop for boat is Baltimore 8/2.....maybe that 8/12 is ETA at your dealership

 

yes looks like it

 

The Morning Peace ship that is carrying our trucks arrived in Baltimore. Expect word from your dealer that your truck has arrived in the near future.
