    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Order to delivery time

I ordered a SX white w/butterscotch interior (so non-prestige) on June 1. I'm so incredibly late to the game because my husband and I were originally considering a Sorento. Turns out, it was too small for my tall husband and an infant seat behind him. When I sat in and test drove a Telluride EX, I knew I didn't want to look elsewhere for a vehicle. We're not pressed for time so we ordered one. Dealer said 4-8 weeks but after reading here I'm not very optimistic. I'm hoping that since it's not the prestige package that somehow I will get my Telluride mid July. It's only been a week and a half and the wait is already excruciating! What was I thinking putting myself in this position lol!
 
Hang in there.
Ordered a Silver SXP May 12
ETA 7/7

Did your dealer provide you with your ETA? I ask just because compared to everyone else's ETA on this forum its such a short time frame (less than 8 weeks). I ordered my white SXP on April 16th and am getting late July estimates, which make it 12-14 weeks.

Yes
They received letter from KIA on 5/31 then on 6/4 they called with ETA after KIA provided. I don't know if color comes into play, also dealer allotmentay be a factor since my order counts against their allotment. Perhaps because it is a much smaller dealer . Not sure what the timing is influenced by.
 
Order placed 5/21 SX (no prestige) Silver with black interior. Originally told 9 weeks ETA
-Received call from Dealer yesterday, order accepted, delivery ETA of 7/13
 
Received a call today that my dealer has VIN. Ordered 4/6. White SX Prestige Gray Interior. Expected June 8th.
Update: Order came in today. Picking up tomorrow 6/13. White SXP Gray Interior.

Please let me know where the dealer is located. I'm in South Florida and I also ordered a white/gray SXP on 4 April.
 
Has anyone ordered the front alloy skid plate? I can't seem to find any info on that and hoping that's not holding up my order.
 
Sent a message to my dealer about my April 19th order to see about an update and got this response. I don’t even understand what he is trying to say. I am assuming this means mine is still not accepted and we have to wait for this order to be filled before ours starts?

“I just received notice from Kia that another Telluride SX-P order was filled. While the unit was sold prior to your purchase, Kia is making progress.

Please understand that Kia continues to fill the Telluride SX-P orders as it sees fit. Jones Kia is not in any way involved in how these orders are filled. However, we continue to advocate for our customers on an almost daily basis.

I will keep you posted and apologize for the delay.”

Sounds like he's saying it's out of his hands and Kia will make it when they're ready. Sounds like he is also saying he is in contact with Kia to try to get his orders filled
 
Order my SXP, Black Copper and Black interior on 4/15. The dealer informed me delivery ETA of 7/12 about ten days ago.
 
My dealer called me today and mentioned that the car has a delivery ETA of 17th Jul. No VIN yet as it is still at the assembly... Anyway little more than one month to wait....
Got the VIN# assigned by Kia. I have the VIN# in my hand. Now its just more wait until the delivery date....
