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.

Curiosity poll for those active on this forum..
 
I started looking. Love the T-ride. Ran into the issue everyone has been having - availability. Find the right dealer - found a SXP AWD not for sale. Bought it under MSRP. Boo yeah.
 
Persistence. .

Got interested in the Telluride in March of 2019. Was disappointed about limited availability. Finally found the one I wanted in May 15, 2019 and put a deposit on it. Picked it up on May 31, 2019 and have been happily driving it since.
 
Interesting so far! I’m surprised to see so many already have theirs, I feel like more people are still waiting. Maybe that’s just the impression because those waiting are more active on the forum?
 
Stumbled upon the Telluride at the beginning of April. Happened to find a SX AWD about an hour and a half away. Couldn’t make it down for a few days, I had only planned to test drive at that point. Ended up buying it that day. Glad it happened when it did because I doubt I’d be that lucky now.
 
1000 miles in 8 days, have used 6/7 seats as a sandwich generation and love it.

Found the Telluride when I was looking at the Sorento. I had a pathfinder and loathed that car. I ended up buying my Telluride about a week after I few saw it.
 
It seems like the closer it gets the harder it is I am absolutely dying for my new car.

Hang in there girl.. Take a deep breath, it will be here before you know it, but I doubt I get any sleep this week knowing mine is in transit. Don't we all feel like kids waiting on Christmas

Ordered my black on black EX AWD with tow package March 19 and picked it up April 11 (three weeks and two days). My only complaint was Bluetooth phone connectivity but that has been corrected with a software update. I have owned American cars, Japanese cars, European cars, and this is now my third Kia. I have examined it under the hood underneath the car and throughout the interior, and I must say this is the most meticulously assembled car I have ever owned.

What was your order to delivery time? Just ordered my SX today: Dark Moss SX with Butterscotch interior. AWD with Tow package.

It appears Kia is backed up on all orders, not just SX and SXP, so there is a huge backlog and long wait. I didn’t want to wait so I began searching a 500 mile radius around me to find someone that had what I wanted in stock. I went with an LX since I didn’t need most of the upgrades (it comes as a pretty nice car even in the lower model!). I still could only find around 10 in that radius so I negotiated with those dealers till I got the deal I wanted.
Just my two cents but for those waiting on orders, I would be prepared to wait until October for things to catch up

About 7 -8 weeks on my SXP if my ETA of 7/7 happens.

Obviously I hope for sooner! But I have no expectations. This whole process is crazy

Yes it’s crazy how long the wait is for these cars. We have a buddy who works at a Kia and they sell the day they arrive! We were lucky enough to text drive a Black SX this weekend to decide if we liked the car or not. It sold about a couple hours after we left the dealership! Thankfully we aren’t in any hurry to get the car, but I would love to get it in a reasonable time frame. Wishful thinking I’m sure. 😊 I’ll update on this thread as I get updates on my order.

Ordered my Dark Moss SX (non-prestige) on 4/23. ETA of 7/8 for delivery (about 10 weeks). It might take longer for a recent order.. :( I also wanted butterscotch, but at the time of my order, the dealer told me Kia was not taking orders with butterscotch. I ordered with espresso. I think i will love it when i see it. Dealer said there is a chance it will be here before the holiday weekend!
