Order placed today!

The order that will be available is an SX Prestige in Everlasting Silver with Dune Brown interior with tow hitch (AWD, 2nd row captains chairs.

Those are great options but my wife doesn’t want silver. Thank you for letting me know though, that almost worked out perfectly.

Completely understandable, though I will say the Everlasting Silver isn’t a normal silver, and looks vastly different in person that in photos. I personally didn’t like it until I saw one in person. In some light it looks similar to Wolf Gray, in other light it’s metallic silver, and in other light it has a hint of light blue. Very premium looking in person. The photos below are all Everlasting Silver:

Few more Everlasting Silvers for good measure (including a couple Sorentos):

That does look nice. Which wheels and tires does that come with? And what date do you think it will be available?

Comes with the standard SX black wheels - it'll look identical to the Telluride in the first, second, fourth, and fifth photos. I expect, though can't be 100% certain, that it will get accepted into KFOS this month and should arrive early-mid January. It's through Moritz Kia Alliance, which means MSRP but with $898 mandatory dealer add (tint, nitrogen, vehicle prep).

This is the build:


On a side note, the Everlasting Silver/Dune brown combo is the 2nd most rare color combination only behind Gravity Gray/Dune Brown. According to Failcat (which isn't perfect), there have been 272 ES/Dune combos built since July 2019. 234 GG/Dune built.

Here are some photos of the Everlasting Silver/Dune Brown combo:

The wheels look like these (though with the new Kia logo):

Just placed an order today for a Dark Moss/Dune SXP through Huffines Kia Corinth at MSRP. Quoted 3-5 months with a possibility of it being as early as 2 months (though no guarantees on that). Was told to expect an ETA in 8-12 weeks. For reference, they get 25-35 Tellys a month.

Initially wanted Moss/Dune but talked myself out of it (with the help of the wife) thinking I may eventually get tired of the color and that white will be easier to sell down the line, so I (we) decided on GWP/Black. Found out the black interior has a light headliner, so the next day changed it to GWP/Dune. Thanks to great photos here on the forums I couldn’t get Moss out of my mind. Day after changed to Dark Moss/Dune and ain’t lookin’ back! Definitely gives the Telluride a very upscale, rugged look.

Had a chance to buy a ‘21 Palisade Calligraphy AWD today at MSRP but the dealer offered $3k below Blue & Black Book for my trade and wouldn’t budge so I passed. Hope the Kia dealership doesn’t do the same when my Telly arrives…

I ordered mine in July also. I was just told it is now a 6 month wait. Have you received yours yet?

My ETA is early December. Had I not changed my order in August I likely would be picking right about now.

We got GG/DB combo! And it should be here next week. So pumped.

That really is a great combination...if my current vehicle weren't virtually the same as Gravity Gray I likely would have gone that route.

Still waiting for my VIN (initial ETA is in just under 3 weeks). Salesman says he likely won’t have
the VIN until a week before the delivery. Based on timeframes many people report here, I’m not holding my breath for Dec 5 delivery.

I just got an update from my dealer today. I have an eta of 12/11 and still no VIN assigned or anything in failcat either. But I bet you’re stalking it daily as I am! These last weeks of waiting are awful. My husband is probably about ready to take away my phone & computer because he’s so tired of my constant updates!

Oh you bet I am! I've noticed over the months that despite Failcat saying it only updates once a day in the early morning, the VINs slowly trickle in throughout the day. I'll check it when I first wake up and there aren't any updates since the day prior. Then around 9-10 am a few new VINs will populate, then a few more a couple hours later, and so on. Really makes checking it frequently a necessity!

Just got word that my order through Huffines Kia Corinth got picked up by KFOS and Dec 5 is my ETA!

My order was picked up by KFOS in October too but the dealership didn't give me an ETA, they said they'd have status information after the holidays. I know the # of allocated tellurides affect when your order gets picked up by KFOS, does it also affect the delivery date? The dealership I ordered from only receives 13-16 a month.

Kia gives the dealership an ETA a few days after the order is picked up by KFOS. Based on your signature, you first placed the order on Oct 9, correct? I could be wrong, but if that’s the case it’s unlikely the order got picked up by KFOS on Oct 20, only 11 days later.

Again, I could be wrong, but I bet on Oct 20 they entered your order into KDealer, and by telling you they’ll have status information after the holidays is when they expect it will get picked up by KFOS and Kia will give them an ETA.

This is what I was told, does this mean it was picked up by KFOS:

"Kia manufacture has accepted the order and will reach out when the vehicle is near completion with a posted estimated delivery date. Kia typically releases the window sticker about 30 days before the posted estimated arrival date.

Justin thinks based on the Telluride ordered Kia may release status information regarding your build to order after the holidays. We will keep you update as we are informed from the manufacture"

I'm new to this process so I've been reading all these threads and trying to get an idea of an ETA.
