Can't wait to get my GG w/ Dune
Thanks for your insights, very helpful. If it does take a few months, maybe I will be lucky enough to reveive the very first “2022” model year. I’ve read the price increase is $1,500 for all trims, but no details on what’s (if any) changes are planned.Not necessarily.
Maybe that's a rule at your dealership, but I worked with a great dealership and they said I could change anything in because an order is not an order until it gets picked up by KFOS.
I don't think it's fair to put you in the back of the line if you're making changes to the requested specs because you didn't do anything wrong and you're so far away from your order even going into the system.
If they push you back in line, that's on them, not Kia.
I'd still do it because because AWD SX P/T in Dark Moss / Dune Brown is my dream car and I got exactly what I wanted.
If, for example, I was putting down a deposit for a second Telly today and the dealer said that any changes to a paper form would set me back in line, I would not work with that dealer, but that's just how I deal with shady practices.
I refuse to reward bad behavior or any behavior that treats me less than a valued customer.
Hopefully there was a communication mix-up and that's not the case with your dealership.
If your salesperson isn't helpful, just politely ask to speak to his or her Sales Manager (I was lucky enough to work directly with mine) and if you already have the deposit down, ask to fill out another form updating the order to exactly what you want.
They should have no problem handing you a sheet of paper to update your file.
If they refuse to help you out with something this simple, then it's either laziness or incompetence and you're better off going with a better dealership elsewhere.
I can see them having an issue if you went FWD to AWD because the SX AWD allocations are the ones that require longer waits on the wait list, but if it's just switching colors on an order form months before the order is even placed, what's the deal?
KFOS is months away from even accepting your order.
Love the premium headliner! Looks so classy. Loving everything about it and learning more each day. I had the seats set to auto heat/cool based on the temp and my butt was nice and cool this morningLooking amazing still.
I love that Kia incorporated those lines and gave a wink to the Tiger Nose "design language" in the horizontal stitching of the seats.
Classy, cozy, and comfy.
Best color for seats, that's why they're charging extra for new orders w/ Dune to the Moon!
Hopefully it's just a supply and demand issue and not because of this thread and our enthusiasm for our great taste in colors and aesthetics
The dark gray premium cloth microfiber headliner is amazing, isn't it?
The A-pillars, even part of the B-pillars.... so classy![]()

I haven't tried this yet, buy will give a go next time I take the Telly out@superk1977:
Would you go so far as to say that you approve of my preferred option to go “Warm hands, cool backs” at the same time?

Warm hands, cool backs
Anyone else love having the heated steering wheel on AND the seat cooling on at the same time? :)tellurideforum.org

Exactly how I ordered mineCan't wait to get my GG w/ Dune
Just ordered mine 2 days ago. Will be ebony black AWD SX prestige tow package non-nightfall with dune interior. I'm excited about the telly already, but now really excited about the dune interior after reading this thread. I haven't seen the dune in the ebony here, so I'll be sure to post pictures when I get mine. Unfortunately, I'm being told it will take 6-8 months. I guess I'll just have to be a creepy voyeur watching you guys for the time being. Dune to the moon!
Thanks, will do. Also thanks for showing me the shorthand. I'm new here, so just figuring it out. For sure will post photos here first!YES !!!
AWD Kia Telluride SX P/T
Amazing combo:
Ebony Black (w/ Classic Chrome/Black trim, non-Nightfall) Dune Brown Nappa Leather seats, Dark Gray premium cloth microfiber headliner/A-pillars/partial B-pillars =
We can’t wait to see your photos.
Please post them here first !!

Such a sweet looking ride. This is the one I want. How long was your wait time? Can you give me any advice on how to get this one?

Did you have a chance to compare Ebony Black and Black Copper?
Me first dealer told me GG doesn’t come with Dune. I knew he was wrong but I was in between GG and GWP. I always love gray but the weather in CA keeps getting warmer. I wish they offered Dune with WG. I must have one or the other.Exactly how I ordered mine
I ordered GWP but could have easily gone with GG or WG. I really didn’t want a black interior. WG with Dune would be very interesting.Me first dealer told me GG doesn’t come with Dune.
