Order to delivery time

I'm finally ready to "pull the trigger" and order an gravity gray / gray SXP (without Nightfall). A large Kia dealer in Ohio is telling me that when orders open, he thinks I could probably get it in Sept, maybe October. I just wanted a reality check on this. - does this timeframe seem realistic?
______________________________
 
Can confirm now.. no Prestige orders. No EX or SX unless with Nightfall Edition(SX Non Prestige).
This is only if store got any allocation. I am a top 20 store(volume on Tellurides) in the Nation and got no additional allocation of Nightfall. So looks like slim pickings even on Nightfall.

So appears just LX and S open for now.

Stephen (COVID19 aside as that is the major reason for issues although Kia was having issues prior to COVID meeting demand) you dealers must be just shaking your heads on the cluster the Telluride ordering has become.

I'm guessing the supply chain is holding them back on the Prestige package because it makes next to no sense to me that they'd produce Nightfall SXs with none of them being Prestige. I appreciate you informing all of us on this kind of stuff because it helps us realize it isn't necessarily a bogus dealer issue, it's a Kia corporate issue.

This is brutal.

No.

I ordered mine in December 2020 and still yet to receive it. Count on 6-10 months.
 
I think the best approach is to just imagine your ETA as “NEVER”. Like, this is all just a made up car.
Then, at some point in the distant future, someone will call you and be like “hey, do you remember that car you ordered?.....”

That's been my strategy since late October, starting to wear on me.

Just happened to me. He's like we are expecting what?

I said slow down guy...what's your email address, I'll send you the window sticker.

The manager confirmed it's a dealer vehicle...

I'm putting a deposit on it and signing the purchase agreement guys - I'm getting my Telluride!

2021 SX-P
Black Copper (not my first choice but OK)
Dune Brown

Well sucks but I have to take this back...salesperson/sales manager all on board...

Sales manager went to the owner to triple check and make sure it's not sold and the guy said it's a sold order since March...

back to the drawing board...
 
...the guy said it's a sold order since March...
Pretty sure that's mine then, that just got sent to the wrong dealer in the wrong state. 🤣😂😅😒😞😢😭
 
only 50 some VINs generating today...oh lordy lord...please tell me it's not production issues...

not sure the dealership owner has orders sitting on his desk and 3 managers not know about it?

I call BS...

Yet would you really be surprised that there were communication issues within the dealership?? Hate to hear this. You were so close.
 
Most likely that's the case.

Dealership owner sold that to a local Doctor...without telling anyone on the floor...not sure why he would be so...secretive about it.

These are customized order i guess. Or at least orders from before. The vin numbers for these 50 are older than the ones created friday.

Monday doesn’t update like the other days of the week. Tomorrow should show how many are built today
 
No.

And I ordered mine on Jan 14th and still no sign of it...no word from dealer, nothing from anyone...good luck
 
my last conspiracy theory - They never realized this was inbound...I had to email him the window sticker.

They made it seem like they were doing the deal with me but I have an odd feeling of their buddies was looking for a Telluride and sold it off from under me...

Bet this kind of crap is common.

Do you know how long they usually spend on a certain trim? I just placed my order for an EX so would they switch over to producing EX and SX by the time its time for my order to be produced?
