Interesting to see that, in the scheme of things, the e diff is a relatively "cheap" option!



I honestly cannot understand if you are building to order why you would not throw the e-diff in,
especially in Oz where it costs about 400 pound. seems a very cheap but useful option, it also makes it
more saleable to those that do like to get off the tarmac when you come to get rid, This was one of the
first things i specified in my build.. makes taking on the areas around Mount Walker where he was driving
far more relaxing.. Done that area (but not Mount Walker a few times in the Rangie (which has e-diff)

Also, the Ozzie market appears to get the nano SIM slot:


yes i think Gerry would determine Australia as a tier 2 market/territory (no doubt worried about all the Toyo/Nissan
dominance), so therefore we only get one SIM for SOTA, diagnostics, tracking etc, we have to buy our own
nano SIM for streaming and other goodies such as the satellite navigation view etc. yet another pommie bar steward down under

There is a lot of stuff on that list that you could easily do without. Would drop the price by 10 to 15 thousand.

concur, you could spec a S with e-diff and the tow pack and you are very good to go, and a saving of $21.4K, or approx
10.5K of her majesties pounds yet another pommie bar steward down under

I think you get the better deal there. Who wants a second eSIM for general data when it appears tethered via JLR on an expensive contract when you can you bang a nano SIM in from your supplier of choice. There's many discussions online about porting eSIMs, but at the moment it just looks like an extension to locked handsets to try and limit consumer choice.

Very true, it gives us more choice, it is a pity you cannot just enable the esim as you
would say on an Apple Watch, so you have a choice. The nano sim is very clunky and
is a bit of a hit and miss, you sometimes have to keep re enabling the function in
the connectivity options as it forgets it is there yet another pommie bar steward down under

The e-Diff in the UK is a £1020 option.

I don’t do hardcore off roading so for me it’s not top of the list, my Discos never had it and they done brilliantly in the rough. Had it been £400 or £500 I may have just added it.

The 400 is based upon all govt tax and other loadings, before the local exchequor takes its cut
