I placed my order on February 3rd. It is due in on April 19th. It was loaded onto the rail today. We shall see how long it tales to travel from Atlanta to Albuquerque via train and then transport to El Paso.
Hi, I wanted to purchase Telluride, and it has been out of stock near dealerships. Would you advise me how to order in advance? Should I work with a dealer?

most people here have ordered one for the exact reason you stated. If you want one and can wait, this will probably be your best bet to get what you want. Just make sure you go with a dealer that doesn’t charge over MSRP.

I just got my telluride yesterday but not the one I ordered on 12/26/20. The dealer that I ordered from just happened to get one in that was almost exactly like my order. Only difference was I didn’t order carpet mats, carpet cargo mat, or wheel locks. Otherwise everything else the same, everlasting silver SX prestige with dune brown interior.

the cargo mat is pretty nice so I am fine with that. Unfortunately I will not be using the wheel locks or carpet mats but at least I don’t have to wait anymore. Some orders, depending on build and dealership can take awhile.
 
Dealer contacted me yesterday and said the ETA for my 2/3 order was moved up to 5/17 (formerly 5/31). As of this morning I still don't see my car on Failcat.

Your giving me hope that my new baby will be here sooner. Mine is an SX, accepted on 3/13, ETA of 5/28.

Anyone know if the "created" date on Failcat indicates when the Telluride record is merely entered into the system, or actually built?

I am a newbie but I will share what I think I have learned.

Created date seems to be when the VIN is created and the Telly begins being built. My Telly was accepted by Kia on Mar 13th. Not on failcat yet. This date was given to me by my dealership when I put down my deposit.

From stocking this site and my dealer, it appears to take about 2 weeks from create to the time the vehicle shows on my dealership's website as "in transit". I am assuming it takes 2 weeks to build.

Then it seems to take 2 to 4 weeks to show up at my dealership (Ohio).

I expect to have my Telly showing up on here within the next 10 days.

Thanks Christi, that's very helpful. I ordered the Telluride on 2/27, my "create" date was 3/25, but the dealer says it won't be with them until 5/7. Looking at some others posts, I feel lucky, as some waited much longer. Still impatient, though, and wishing I only had ten days to wait. I feel like a kid waiting on presents.

By 10 days, I meant the VIN on failcat. I won't see my Telly until end of May. It feels like the movie Groundhog Day with the anticipation of Christmas Eve.

Just ordered GravityGray/Black, EX, AWD, Tow on 4/14/21 at MSRP. Not too worried about how long it will take but I'm hoping my order gets manufactured before the switch to the likely more expensive 2022.

Yes, we are in same boat as you. Ordered Wolf Gray/Black NF, EX, AWD 4/1/21. I haven't heard anything from dealer as far as ETA, VIN, etc.
Not sure what side we will land 21/22...

Ideally, the 2022 details will be announced right after mine's built so I'll still have to option to change my order to the 2022 if we determine the price increase and extra wait time are worth it for some unexpected upgrades.

Join the club...my sales rep keeps telling me he's looking into it...and never gets back. I don't think they have much incentive to help you once they have your deposit.

Well there’s a thread around here where folks said their dealer indicated that the April KFOS allocation was the last one for 2021 models. So if that’s true you’re looking at. 2022. Maybe #StephenCantrelle can chime in.

Yep, seems that way.. I get that its a waiting game, and honestly not in a huge hurry, but they're answers are so vague...
All I got was a week after we placed order for MSRP, with $1000 deposit, was it was placed and filled with Kia 4/8/21. (What does that mean?? ) and that "he will let me know when he gets an ETA, that may take some time." So vague...

Does this mean you would reject delivery and order a new one (2022) from scratch?
I’m in a similar boat since I learned today that mine was ‘just picked up’ by Kia.

Very unlikely. Only if any 2022 upgrades were worth the expected price increase. Our deposit is fully refundable and the dealer made it clear that were could cancel without any hassle.
