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...

Wondering the same thing. I've been anxiously awaiting my Telly's VIN to pop up.

I think this describes more than a few of us on this forum. The timing in your case is nearly identical to mine and like you, I've been checking failcat regularly.
A big shout out to the folk(s) who set up and tweaked failcat!
I may be wrong but I feel like it always slows down around the time the kfos opens up.
Could very well just be an artifact of Kia’s production cycling down before they acquire the next batch.

Are you looking at weekend days? Those days will be lower.

Actually, it doesn't look like there is much of a drop on Sat or Sun.
To me, the pattern looks like there is a gap of 5- 9 days in reporting at or near the middle of the month. I'm far from an expert in this, but that seems to coincide with @Key2me12's speculation that things tend to slow at the time of KFOS entries. If so, we can expect few if any updates until after the 15th or so.

I feel you. I am 9/4 and still waiting on a VIN. I'm half expecting shenanigans and delays.

Hey, JRebel, what's the name of that restaurant you like with all the goofy stuff on the walls and the mozzarella sticks?
Did someone say shenanigans?

Just a reminder to all of the fairly new members, the Georgia plant does produce for other locations and other models. Failcat only shows US production. They could be building a lot of Canadian models or others (or not). Isn't speculation fun?

I did a completely unscientific survey of failcat postings for what I'm sure is an unrepresentative sample. About half had no postings after 8/8, and the other half had on average one posting during the period from 8/8 to today. This is consistent with the general pattern of a substantial slowdown at mid-month and if things follow what appears to be the historical trend, we should see things pick up dramatically around the 15th.
My takeaway is that if those of us eagerly anticipating our new Tellurides are patient for a few more days, we will be rewarded with some positive news . . .
