"In the build process" what does this mean?

I emailed nick@lr this morning seeing as my dealer didnt reply to me. To her credit she replied almost immediately.

she states my car is showing as in the build process. Now last i heard my build date was 27th March. Does this mean my car has actually gone into build? early? or would the computer show it as in the build process for a short while before it was actually built??

hopefully this might mean when i get back from norway next week my car might be waiting for me!!!!!!!

If it states the build date is the 27th (not was as we arn't there yet lol) then that is when it will be on the line being built.

No i was told the build date was the 27th about a month or more ago. I enquired today to see if this was still the case and i was told that it was in the build process. I would have thought that this would mean it has come forward a bit and is actually being built now?

However given the strangeness of the lr delivery and ordering process I am never 100% sure about anything!

I would have thought that if it was "in the build process" then it should physically be on the production line at some stage?.

I could be wrong, but it's looking positive for you ED, maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel now?

Mine was delivered to dealers (same dealer as yours) around 8 or so days from it's build day.

Waiting for: - 2015 SD4 Dynamic, LUX pack, Auto, 5 door. Mauritius Blue. Santorini Roof........spare wheel.

It could mean that they are just ordering in all the right parts for your order

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

Yip, sounds to me that your car has gone into production early (as in before the 27th) so I'd not be surprised if its ready for next week.

Why don't you call LR Customer services?

I did this and received excellent service, they contacted the dealer to get the exact details and then contacted the factory and got back to me with the build details, and then contacted me once it was started. The guy even give me his direct dial number. Once built they contacted me again and again Monday just gone after we took delivery.

I would have thought it is probably a fair bit down the line and will probably nearing completion so you should have it in a week or so!!
