Battery was supposed to be here in 1 week, then 2 weeks, then 3 weeks....we ended up getting our money back and went and bought an Audi SQ8 instead. Hopefully the Audi will be better

That is a blessing in disguise. If I had a dollar for every person that has told me their LR ended up at the service dept within 30 days of taking delivery of their brand new vehicle, I could have paid for my G29 in cash!

Well ... maybe overexaggerating a bit, however I personally know over a dozen people with this same experience ... one of my wife's colleagues bought a new RR Autobiography ... it was in/out of the shop for major powertrain issues for the first 6 months before they finally offered a buyback. You are lucky. I'm sure the SQ8 will be much more reliable and engaging!
