We all know about the part shortage.
I read on the forum some new 2022 were delivered without homelink and even keyless. What else could be possibly missing
in the new car on the dealer lot?

Wireless charger?
Any sensors?

Thanks

 

What do you mean by wireless charger? Is that something that JLR is finally offering?

 

I thought F-Type has phone wireless charger as a standard equipment. Am I wrong?

 

They do not.

 

Our XE does, it's fantastic. nowhere to put it in the F Type, for big phones at least

 

Some 2022's are missing BSM/rear cross traffic detection and Homelink - not sure what else.
I see dealer cars stuffed with options but missing the basics.
There are 4 R's local to me missing "options" that I consider basic in a $120K car.
Anybody buying these at dealer inflated ($10K over MSRP) prices is going to see a bigger than normal depreciation, for sure.

 

As mentioned above, it isn't fitted (even as an option) on the F-Type for the aforementioned point, there is literally nowhere to fit it except the glovebox, which isn't really a great location!

 

It would be interesting to see when relatively standardized phone docking and charging exists, cuz there's not many places to put it. Even the umbrella holder they installed in my trunk interrupts functional trunk space. And they didn't pay to reposition the cup holders for the manual transmission people, so I doubt It is a top priority. I know those two points are seemingly completely unrelated lol I just wonder how much design teams lean into third party or aftermarket solutions so they don't have to engineer it.

But it's been a little over 15 years, I'm really surprised that there isn't some cool doohickey where you place your phone inside of it and it integrates to your entire car like some sci-fi movie.
