Has all production of all models stopped?
Just read on one of the FB forums that a customer whose car was supposed to have gone into production on 12th Feb has been told that production of all New Defenders has been stopped (his word was cancelled). He has a 110 P400E going into build but says it’s all models of 110 and 90, Petrol/diesel or PHEV. No reason given but I wonder if the worldwide shortage of silicone chips for automakers is the cause. 83ECU’s per car needs a lot of chips even for a single day’s production....

2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed!

Some good news for the early adopters at last! Look what supply and demand has done to the prices of graphics processing cards (GPUs).

There's about 85k vehicles in inventory, split between the dealers and JLR, I think it's a little early to be calling that.

Just as many "new to the brand" order holders could just as easily move to a different brand & old cars with non-current spec don't really get any more valuable despite what a dealer (with a vested interest) will tell you.

I'm totally expecting a delay and have mentally prepared myself! The dealer said early April but I'll be pleased if I get it before the end of the summer.

Covid, Brexit, silicone, shipping delays etc. etc. I can't believe any car manufacturer would manage to stay on schedule at the moment.

I'd rather a delay than a rushed build.

Big Cry have emailed my salesman for comment...

BTW - Tim do you read one of the red top newspapers? I think the thread title would be classic Sun or Mirror and is a little alarmist, we don't know for certain... Wink Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

Mines should be on its way down the production line this week. I text my salesman this morning asking him to send me photos when it arrives and he never said anything.

I’ve since sent him another message after receiving Tim’s PM, asking what the situation is. Big Cry Big Cry Big Cry Big Cry

Can’t be microchips, I can’t post the article as I don’t have a subscription

Not sure how to add images. But these are screenshots from the Automotive News article. Nothing really worth reading.[/code]

My salesman’s furloughed from this week on so can’t access the system from home to check.

No news outlet has run anything on this story yet, which given the time line, seems a bit slow off the mark...

I have just picked up my 90 from the dealership and asked the salesman about cease in production due to shortage of microchips, he didn’t know anything about it.
