That’s the new 2023, like the colour. How long have you had it and do you enjoy it so far?

It is a very nice ride. This is the Prestige Midnight Lake Blue with Navy/Grey interior. There are a LOT of 'bells and whistles' but being a tech kind of person, I like that. But even so, its a lot to take in at times. I am still learning about many of the capabilities and how they could be helpful day to.

I am sure I will develop my own 'interpersonal relationship' with the car. That sounds like a crazy thing to say but then again, not so much.

A few things I've been wrapping my head around thus far:

There are crazy blind spot warnings. A light on the side view mirror, and indicator on the heads up display, another indicator on semi-autonomous cruise control display in addition to a real time graphic of the vehicle passing you if seeing it in the mirror is not enough, and of course, a separate camera view that replaces the speedo/tach when you activate the turn signal.

Then there is key fob activation of unlocking the doors and opening the mirrors when you walk up to the car. The hatch will open automatically and close when you approach and leave. You may not want to walk around to the back if the vehicle it is in the garage and its a tight fit. The tail gate may open and hit the garage door. You can set the height so it only opens so far for vertical clearance.

An on it goes. The USB connectors are all type C. That means that most of the older type A connectors are out. I know most of my cable were A on one end and C on the other. Now I need to get C to C for use in the Telly.

And on it goes.

I left the lot with 10 miles on it, now I have 60. So its all pretty new and so far I am loving it. I guess that is a good way to start any relationship.

I’ve had mine a year and a half and still haven’t learned everything but this forum is very useful to find hidden treasures.

They’re not all USB-C; the most important one (the one that interfaces with the infotainment for CarPlay/Android Auto) is still USB-A.

Good to know.

Now how about a fresh batch of Telly photos for Front-End Friday??

Y'all rock!!

I love that the amber halo DRLs have been activated for Front-End Friday!

Tom Kearns and his team at Kia designed us an amazing front-end.

They wanted to Telluride to appear Big, Bold and Boxy.

Mission accomplished.

Best looking car I've ever owned.

Please have a great rest of the day, and have a great Sport Mode Saturday and Sideshot Sunday as well!

RiP the amber halos. I love a lot of the new features on the 23s but mine's not going anywhere... And it's mostly due to the appearance of the headlights.

Thank you @Crashnburn !

You have excellent taste as well.

This suddenly reminds me of a television commercial from the 1980s.

If Grey Poupon wants to do a modern updated version of their classic TV ad, they better feature us and our Dark Moss Kia Tellurides.

Agree 100%

I'm not letting my baby go.

Aesthetics matter.

Plus I like my Dune Brown interior and the analog gauges. Can still see them when the car is off. When I shift into park at night, the glow of the blood orange ambient lights =
