Order to delivery time

Did you put a deposit down on one that had an allocation in KFOS? the 30-60 day window I am quoting is for units accepted in KFOS. For example - I put a deposit down on one in January and it was just accepted into KFOS last week. Now my 30-60 day window starts.
I agree with this on orders that were converted from 2020 as my car is with eta spet 12 but for new kfos entered this week i doubt the 30-60 window
 
For allocations entered into KFOS this weekend what timeframe can one expect for that vehicle to show up in Failcat? If this has been covered I can not find the answer now. Stephen, maybe you know the answer. Thanks.
I am pretty sure when your order is accepted by Kia in KFOS you receive an ETA. Then the VIN/sticker will show up on the web about 30 days before. If you don’t have an ETA, it is difficult to know when your car will be manufactured.

Still chasing down my dealer to get me a screenshot...such a love hate relationship with this vehicle at this point...

Glad you are so close to getting yours though!

I'm seeing a lot more just PRE popping out of West Point. 30-60 might be accurate at this point. Not counting delivery time.
 
yes. Dealership said they can only order SX with nightfall for now. They also told me that aren’t able to add prestige
yes correct, i was told the same. My order went in on the 15th. SX AWD SWP/ Espresso w/ Nightfall pkg and other options, we will see. Its all about the wait now !

Yeah - I suspect the reason KIA did a late allocation to dealers this past week is because they finally have production and supplier issues worked out. If you look at the last week - they have been pumping them out like crazy. First sustained production at this level in a very long time. Now that the damn appears to have broken - August and September are going to be huge months for dealerships. Folks like @StephenCantrelle that have been so helpful to everyone (not just their customers) have been living without their regular pay check for a couple of months - so a big surge of sales will surely be appreciated - not just by the customers - but the salesmen as well.

Well i dont know anything anymore I hate kia and telluride. I fell like burning the car when it comes in. Im so pathetic all i do is check this thread, failcat and fb page for telluride owners! Btw failcat is still missing some vins like this one coming to michigan

The Sales Manager at my Dealership told me today that the problem with Prestige Package was the Heads Up Display and that was one reason Kia produced so many Nightfall Edition since they had the parts for those and could fill the gap so to speak. Kia seems to be delivering to meet the new volume and model mix targets they set. 400 per day yields 100,000 per year (5 day work week).

My dealer said he would send me the screen shot on Wed/Thurs when he has the shipping date and order number.

Thanks for sharing this.

I'll sit tight until then.

If production stays strong like it has so far this month - I would think we are in the 30-60 day window as soon as all orders are processed next week.
So 30-60 days for it to show up on failcat or to be delivered? So the # of vins being added to failcat recently has been pretty good? What was it before? Good to hear that production is going well! That’s good news for all of us :)
 
The Telluride I ordered was unloaded from the truck Wednesday morning and after a day and a half and no phone call, I dropped by and was poking around looking at it, my salesman actually came out, recognized me so I asked him if this was my car and he said yes. (I knew it was.) So I asked what was up and he said that they weren't calling anyone until they had been inspected and the shop was backed up at the moment.

So I cruise by the next day around lunch, (Friday) and it's gone so I figure it's getting it's inspection. No call on Friday, no call on Saturday. It's common for these things to sit on the lot for a week or better before I see them disappear. I'm guessing that since these are all pre sold that they figure they're money in the bank so I'm starting to wonder if they wait until it's really slow and there's no one else around to sell another car to before they call someone in for their Telluride.

I'm not really complaining, it's just an annoyance that after people wait 5 months, they don't rush to put people in their cars. We will see when they call...

Is there anything stopping him from selling it to someone else for let's say 5k more than what you paid?

Just playing devil's advocate with how sh*tty some stories end up.

I'd stop by daily and be like hello...give me my car..

By far the hardest way to spend 50k...

That is ridiculous. I would call the GM and complain.

NDBlackEX have you asked if the dealership preps the vehicle with their stupid markup add-ons? i.e., nitro, pin striping, interior exterior coating?
