What a mess...... Personally, I've put this car to the back of my mind now.

When it will arrive is anyones guess.

A friend of mine is awaiting a build slot to replace a rejected lemon. JLR have no idea when they can even build this!

I think I might have persevered in the meantime with a lemon rather than go back to the back of a very long queue without any dates for a replacement.
I sold my car ages ago thinking I'd get my car in April/May, what an idiot I was thinking that so my punishment is driving to Sardinia on holiday in our Golf Diesel and ferrying 5 of us of around for 3 weeks when we get there. My car was built 3 weeks ago but hasn't moved at all since, so near yet so far

Thanks Eirik34,

If that list is reliable, then the amplifier and wheels supply problem seems to be why my P510e Autobiography has not yet been ‘slotted’.

I have decided that I like the alternative wheels (Style 5127 DT & Satin Dark Grey Contract) that are a no-cost option on the Autobiography would be just as nice on my Silicon Silver with Shadow Pack vehicle.
I will therefore see if I can change my spec without compromising delivery time in this respect.

P.S. I do seem to be in a minority with my colour choice of Silicon Silver with Shadow Pack - Any views? Cheers,
Ricky510e

Ordered:
P510e ATB
Silicon Silver, Shadow Pack, Style 5127 wheels
Ebony + Extended Perlino Interior
Deployable Side Steps

My last Range Rover was that colour and I liked it but didn't love it. It helped that it was a bargain so I learnt to like it.

My forthcoming car is Lantau Bronze with Shadow pack, black roof and wheels and no-one has ordered one in this colour either from what I can see so I'm feeling a bit like you.
Nice to be a little different I think

Fear not, you are not alone. My car is Lantau Bronze with Carraway. No shadow packs/different wheels etc. I saw it in the flesh the other day and it looks great.

What’s wrong with it?

It's a great car but for a holiday 5 up a FFRR would have been perfect.

Not very promising...

In terms of sales, they have a fantastic product, so customers will continue to buy.

In terms of losses as a manufacturing operation, and reduction in output, who knows. JLR can't be running efficiently at the moment and they must be losing money in many areas of their business. The worrying thing is, if it continues, they will only have two options, either they'll have to increase their prices, or cut costs, I doubt they'll do the latter!

Just as I read your post aja500, I got a call to say that the price of the Range Rover I've ordered has increased by £9k! Quite a jump, although I'm not sure if it's certain options that have increased, or the base price of the car.

Until now, I'd been thinking I'd escaped any price increase given that I put a deposit down so early on in the process. It seems not! 2024 Range Rover P550e AB

£9k - YIKES, that's quite a leap. What model / options have you spec'd?

Has the price also gone up on the configurator EDJ?

My price appears to have stayed the same from what I can see on the configurator (1 x P440e LWB with sidesteps +1 x P510e standard wheelbase with sidesteps ordered). Not sure if this will change?

Very interesting topic this though EDJ. My brother collected his P530 7 Seater (first I'm aware of) 2-3 weeks ago. The dealer asked him for a further £8k saying prices went up on the 1st July, so he paid it at time of collection.

My brother has since spoken to a friend of his, and the same dealer has held his price and put it in writing for him, so my brother's now told the dealer "I want my £8k back"!!

What's happening with others - Prices held at that of time of order, or price increase?

Also, is it just certain models that have gone up?

Price rises 1st of July have been kept quiet. Having collected on Friday price was as i had expected and per configurator, albeit that did include the c.5k increase from earlier in the year after launch. I would have been monumentally vocal if they had tried this on me, but of course i suspect that would have been wasted angst given they could sell a physical car many times over if i voted with my feet. I’m sure there are more savvy legal people on this forum as to the contractual ins and outs of this.

My order is for a P510e AB with about £10k of options - the largest of which is the RSE (at close to £4k from memory). The total price at the time of my order came to £137k.

I might ditch the RSE just to bring things back to earth a little, but will wait to see what the specifics of the price rise are.

Interesting about your brother's car aja500. I've not checked the configurator for an updated price. 2024 Range Rover P550e AB
