2024 New car has carpet cut out

[JJRR]

We just picked up a 2024 Kia Telluride EX-XLine 2 weeks ago, and ordered TuxMats to protect floors. When we went to place them in the car we noticed a large scored cut-out of carpet under the driver's side 2nd row Captain's chair, with what looks like wiring tucked through in one portion. We called the dealership which is 45 minutes away and they informed us that they checked another Telluride on the lot and it had the same thing. We told them we are bringing it in to have them look at it in person, and inspect another one to see if it is the same. Is this normal?

Don’t waste the fuel. It’s normal.

Have the same cut-out in our new 2024 SX Prestige. Was disappointed to see it as it in a relatively visibly space.

Thanks for your replies. So we looked at another 2024 and apparently this is normal, but it looks like a defect or even damage to the eye. Wish they’d taken more care with the interior finish as it looks like a craft project.

Totally normal. Also it is there for a reason.

May I ask, what is the reason it’s there? For future repair needs of some sort?
