• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    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...

The KIA Telluride in Dark Moss

Are you buying in Boise and are you getting the Moss that was originally due end of July? If so do you have an updated time estimate? Im getting the white SX P/T that was due end of August and now they are saying end of September but nothing specific yet. Trying to narrow it down.

Yep, the Moss SX Nightfall that was due July 31st. Todd is saying Aug 13th, but we're hoping it comes early. The Black SX Nightfall wasn't due til today I believe and came early.

Great thanks. I talked to him yesterday but he didn’t have info. When did your vin show up in failcat or has it?

I have no idea. I don't know anything about that site. Just called the dealership and Jacob sent the list of cars to me. 😉 Since then we've been communicating with Todd pretty regularly.

Ok thanks. Failcat is site talked about here a lot. I’ve been tracking the vins but haven’t seen the one on our list pop up yet. Good luck and hope you get it soon.

What does it mean when your VIN shows up there?

From what I have learned through here, the VIN is created at the start of the build of your vehicle. From there it can be 3-6 weeks before it shows up at the dealer. You can sort by dealer number, ours is ID010 and then you can see what is being built on what date the VIN was created. You can also click on the VIN and it will show you the window sticker. They ask that if we use this to search that we don't tell the dealer where we found the VIN number we inquire about.
 
Wait til you wash it up close (by hand) for the first time. The Moss has just an extraordinary sheen in the sunlight. Unlike any other color I’ve ever hand washed.
It’s so shiny
 
Picked up SXP telluride in dark moss and light grey interior.

Got it tinted, added Yakima jet stream bars, addd weathertech Matts, rebadged front back and wheels !! Ready to roll...love it !!

These are just the fancy stickers over the badges, correct? Any reason to think they will not come off easily and leave a bad residue if they tear/wear away?
 
I'm incredibly excited to be part of the Dark Moss Gang with y'all. The order went through, so my baby's getting built (SXP, Dune Brown interior). The dealer called me this morning with an ETA of 8 weeks. Will post photos when it arrives. I can't wait.

Always a solid choice!👍. Join the “waiting to be built” club. My ETA is 10/04. Fingers crossed.

Had to stop and take a few pics on the way home from McCall, ID this weekend. Man this baby handled those mountain roads so nicely!

Edited to add, please excuse how filthy it is! It poured on Friday on my way up.

A question on the Nightfall option. A local dealer is telling me that the Butterscotch interior is the only available option with SX Nightfall (that is, unless you add Prestige package). Failcat tells me otherwise when I search the VINs on there for non-Prestige Nightfall, I see very recent builds with Nightfall and Black or Gray interiors. Does anyone know if this is accurate? The Kia site itself does limit me to the same Butterscotch option when I build there.
