11.4" screen delay!
Was told by the dealer yesterday that the new 11.4" screens will cause a delay in the build as they are in short supply so anyone that ordered a build with the new screen beware! Gas, Grass Or Ass - Nobody Rides For Free

"UNDERSTEER" ----is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" ------is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" ----is how fast you hit the fence.
"TORQUE" -----------is how far you take the fence with you.

I've heard these rumors as well. Discussion on other forums.

As much as I love big screens, and I'm sure the 11.4" is beautiful, it does look like its stuck to the crossmembers and a little awkward as opposed to the perfectly symmetrical fit that the 10" has. Coming from a 9 year old LR4 and its 6 or 7" screen, the 10" is a hug improvement for me!

As I entered my US order on 3/24, I was given these dates on the tracking flow-sheet:
-Last Date for Spec Change - 4/14
-build date -5/14
-delivery date - 7/16/21

My dealership entered the order with the 11.4" screen and didn't notice or say anything about this detail causing a delay. I reached out to my salesman with the information from this thread and he knew nothing of any delay. I'm wondering if that delay may hit my order when it goes to the "submitted to build" phase. And the next step after "submitted to build" is "Last Date for Spec Change" and I'm not sure how quickly that next step happens. I've told my salesman that I'd rather switch to 10" screen if there's any chance of a significant delay. I doubt anyone can predict or control chip and screen suppliers at this point.

Details: MY 22 SE (5 seater)
off-road package
3 zone climate
cold climate package
air suspension
clear sight mirror
plus ladder, roof rack and wheel extensions

Looking at what has been going on with people’s orders lately It would not surprise me. I’m still waiting for rear recovery tow eyes 4 months after I ordered them. Going off subject but I’m also waiting on a pressure washer, garden furniture and chiminea lol so it seems everything is in short supply at the moment.

Btw 10” display is good enough imo not sure you need anything bigger I tend to focus on the driver display more than the main screen.

Perhaps everything is stuck on the ships along the Suez canal.

That’ll be JLR’s next drop-down-menu excuse, after Decimalisation, the Falklands War, the Millenium Bug, Brexit and Coronavirus. Whistle Whistle
