No kidding... the ceramic brakes are totally unnecessary. But if necessity were the determining factor, we would all be buying Honda Accords. Or maybe Vespas.

You placed your order a month after I did and your ETA is only 7 days later than mine. Maybe JLR is catching up on the inventory. NOT!

I salute you for having the budget to buy carbon ceramics brakes, and the taste to avoid the powered tailgate, ambient lights, illuminated tread plates, overrated sound system, and carbon fibre engine cover.

Well I ordered mine with the powered tailgate/boot lid and ambient lighting package because I thought they were both cool...but maybe I don't have any taste.

My vote for "useless" feature are the folding mirrors. I never need them. If the space is so tight that I need the mirrors to fold, I'm not parking there. But I love the functionality of the power tailgate!!!

Well if you don't have any taste neither do I.

I ordered every option on my V6S except the cc brakes, in control apps and heated windshield. I think the ambient lighting is "way cool"' but then I'm a girl.
