• 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...

2021 Official Training Material

Stephen, Jason & Aaron as many have said, Kudos to you all for sharing your knowledge and information with everyone here ! We actually feel like someone from the Kia family cares enough to keep us informed. Many of us do not feel our dealers even care at this point with all the lack of info or follow up given to us. I did try to ask my salesperson these questions...
1) how many Telluride's are they are allocated a month ?
2) how many orders has the dealership placed with KFOS (b4 they closed) that have not been filled yet ?
3) how many orders do they currently have waiting to be placed when KFOS opens back up ?
4) What number am I on the list waiting to be placed, knowing that I tried to order on May 14th ?
His answer was.....
Unfortunately I don't have the answers to those questions for you. That information is above my pay grade and not easily obtained.

With that answer, I feel like I don't matter to them at all and I doubt if he will even notify me when KFOS does open up again.

I'm sure you guy's will give us all a BIG SHOUT OUT when KFOS opens up again to take orders. At that time i will probably have to find a new dealer to order through.

Thanks again Guy's !!

Ive got similar answers so I just ask general questions like any updates they can share. Being on this forum gives you so much info that it makes talking to some of these folks useless. I just save myself the anger. I have an internal number from my dealer so all I do now is call one a month and keep my eyes on Failcat.com hoping to see my ride lol..
Stephen, Jason & Aaron if i had known about this forum earlier, i would definitely have bought from one of yall that is closest to me.

At least he answered your call. I’ve been trying to reach the sales manager for the last 2 weeks and he doesn’t answer my calls or emails and to top it off every other dealer in NY has crazy markups. Frustrating situation to say the least!

Please excuse this question if you think it's redundant, but also please help with answer

Reading the 16 prior pages, I can order a base SX; or a SX with Prestige package; or a SX Black Edition; can you order a SX with Prestige package and Black Edition??

If I order the SX with Black Edition, it will not come with the Prestige Package additional options....correct??

Thank you for answering, and again if it sounds like stupid questions I'm just trying to be sure I understand. When I asked the dealer they really didn't seem to know exactly. Seems like tis site and people know more than the dealers..:)

I’m pretty sure you can order the SX-Prestige with the Nightfall edition (it’s not called the black edition anymore). The Nightfall edition is its own separate package, with different features than the Prestige package.

Kia is coming up with all sorts of clever ways to empty your wallet!
 
This should help. Taken directly from the 2021MY What's New pdf file.

Good luck!

Yes, you can add both nightfall and prestige to SX. That’s what I ordered.

Can anyone confirm that the NIghtfall Edition Package includes fog lights on an EX AWD. The window sticker lists it as included yet the Training Manual leaves out the black fog lamp bezels that are include on the SX. Additionally, fog lamps are shown as NA on the EX features list.

Fog lights are only included with the SX.

That's what I thought but the dealer is telling me otherwise. Any prices yet for the side step bars or the fog light kit shown here:

Interesting...maybe in 2021 you can get the fog lights as an option? This is news to me. This is also a pretty cool document, it has all the codes on it. Did you get it from your dealer? It would be nice to have a clean copy.

I found it in one of the threads on this forum. I'll try to locate it again and post the link.

I revised my comment above just as you were posting this. From that document it looks like the fog lights may be available as an accessory for 2021. I hope so!

I'm packing it in now but I'll try to find where the document was posted. I am trying to order an EX AWD Premium and am debating getting the Nightfall Edition or not.

@StephenCantrelle had posted the document in the thread explaining how the codes work for Dune Brown interior.
