Order to delivery time

I'm know this has been asked but what is the time between VIN creation and delivery. Do they wait to have a full truck to go to one dealer?
Bruh this system is so random. I follow the vins on fc for my dealer and for example one vin was created 11/03/20 delivered 11/20/20..17 days from vin to deliver. Mine was created 10 days after this one 11/13/20 but is projected 12/27/20+. 🤦🏽‍♂️ How!?

It seems to vary based on how far you are from plant (GA), time of year, how much the moon is waning at time of VIN creation, etc..

It really seems to depend on of course how far you are from the plant (GA), but also what phase the moon is in, what astrological sign your salesman was born under and/or if a groundhog saw it's shadow the day the VIN was created.

Lmao. Well hopefully the tide was low and the tectonic plates shift at the right time and my car comes asap. So tired of waiting 😂.

Name is attached... In Transit to dealer... ETA showing 11-15 as of today
@StephenCantrelle

Would it be possible to check 5XYP5DHC3MG131056 one more time for me? Despite you saying ETA was 11-15, my dealer has been telling me 11-22 all along. I pinged him today and now he's saying it's 11-29.

Thank you!
 
What would you do? I have a Telly ordered at msrp from a local dealer, with an ETA of January 29. A vehicle with the exact specs is on another lot about 45 minutes away, and they had offered it to me at $2000 over msrp before I placed my order. Not interested, thank you, and I respect and prefer to give my business to the dealership that made the decision to sell at msrp. But I’ve been watching the dealer inventory at the other dealer and the car is still there. It’s been there at least since some time in October. It is a less popular combo, Sangria with no Prestige package. They have 32 Tellurides in their inventory today. I’m contemplating waiting until the end of November and offering to buy it for the same out the door price as the one ordered. They may not be interested, but if they are, I need to be prepared to actually pull the plug. But honestly, I hate to bail on the good dealer and support the price manipulating dealer. Should I feel bad? I can wait, but it would be nice to have it two months sooner, and if it gets delayed more than a month, I could run into not having it before going to Florida in March. Any dealers want to weigh in?

There is a reason there are 32 sitting in inventory. If it were me I would probably wait for the one ordered. Just my 2 cents.

Oddly, looks like my ETA moved up two weeks and November deliver moved back two weeks. I guess this was done to ensure all built vehicles are on the lot for an EOY sales push.

That sounds promising! What was your ETA before it moved up 2 weeks? Hopefully they do some sick EOY Sales incentives too haha.

12/23/20 then Stephen told me 12/17 and then the sales manager sent an email this morning saying 12/9. I guess we will see but moving in the right direction

My ETA was 12/23. Stephen told me 12/17 on Friday and confirmed again today but the sales manager at the dealership say 12/9.

I hope so. I didn't plan for it but hope it works out. I spent about two weeks finding dealers in PA and DE that sold at MSRP. I then got their order lists to find whom had Wolf Gray builds coming in. Was going with an EX until they told me a SX was coming in three weeks later. Then I flipped by EX to a person in the Telluride FB Group and took the SX.

I have been told when I started this journey that if I built an SX to my specs it is a 4-5 month wait. If I wanted one sooner, look for dealers with a similar build in their allocation in the in the pipeline already and I did that. A lot of great dealers and sales reps out there. At one point I was on the weekly distribution from 3 sales reps of builds for 3 dealers to find one not reserved for me to put deposit on. Although they did not take a deposit just the Finance application.

It depends on the individual dealer’s allocation and how many people want to order from them. A small dealer with a big following will take longer than a big dealer where supply is more in sync with demand. I think the first wild card is how many months backlog there is submit the order. Then it’s in Kia’s hands and other variables come into play. At my bigger dealer, the order wait is 3 months at msrp, no extras. So how long did you have to wait from start of search to delivery going your route?

5 weeks

Hopefully I get news like that. My original eta was 22 december and stephen was reading 27 dec 🤢. Two weeks prior would be perrrrfect.
 
@StephenCantrelle can you look up this vin for me? 5XYP64HCXMG142701 can't reach my sales person 😑 thought id see if you can find anything before I call and ask for different people. Thank you!
 
I ordered my Telluride on 10/10, with the order to be placed with Kia 2 weeks later; fully expecting it to be a 10-12 week process, with a delivery in late Jan. Rec'd a text from Dealer yesterday - ETA is 12/17 which kind of threw me for a loop. 2021 SXP, Gravity Gray with Grey, AWD, Towing, +other...

Should I fully expect this date to be pushed out?

Could be a dealer allocation or customer cancel. There should be a VIN available, ask your dealer or search failcat. If dealer told you 12/17, they are pretty close to the date.
