I bet they don't make the huge profit they think they will GG, but wish them good luck.
Others would have done the same thing & there will be more competition for the available $$$$$ especially if they have been out of work.

Mind you, if their existing stock is 1 or 2 cars it is no biggy.

Yep our margin on Glyphosate is about $5 on a 20 litre and $50 on a 1000 litre IBC. Glyphosate is the product that we make very little margin on and really don't worry if we miss a sale to the corporates.

Chips/silicon for cars are more specialised and lower volume compared to traditional IT volumes.
I have heard stories of other brands offering their cars without all the electronic gadgetry not crucial in operation of the car e.g. heads up display, adaptive cruise control etc.
Also Electric cars use approx 5 times more chips than traditional ICE cars
Does not look like this issue will solved in a hurry Bosch says semiconductor supply chains in car industry no longer work

Feel for to those guys with orders in the system

I wonder how many stealers will fold before they can complete the orders?

Land Rover are not on their lonesome in delays. Toyota has just announced a delay of 12 months in their new 300 series Landcruiser all due to the world wide shortage of semi-conductor computer chips

Get over it guy's . Its the world we currently live in. Don't shoot the dealer

It's also why used car prices are rising

Some LC300 models are years away,they are talking 3 to 4.

Seems the manufacturer thought first orders for Aus would come in at around 5000 vehicles,but they now have well over 20000 on back order.

Evidence you can fool some of The people, all of the time?

I’m sure they’ll enjoy the 2025 delivery.

Wonder what values of them 5 years later if the EV push happens will be like?

Same as any ICE vehicle,we will all have to wait and see.

Ev's are decades away from being as convenient as something like a current large 4X4,whatever brand.
For smallish around town vehicles,they are probably fine.

In fact LR have already said,Ev's do not suit the majority of vehicles they produce.

Yes its all a wait and see,its a guessing game,and a race for the manufacturers.

I hope the waiting is worthwhile for those people with very few lemons due to the apparent haste.


Takes me back to when we bought the '95 D1 facelift. 3 weeks was the delivery time then & we thought that was a bit much.
