i25 Delays

I placed an order with i25 on 10/28 and don't yet have an ETA. (I also have an order with my local dealer but they are very low-volume.) I ordered the SX AWD with N/T in Everlasting Silver. The color may be causing the delay for me, at least in part. Carlos is my salesperson at i25...he's super responsive...I'll email and see what he says and then report back here.
 
Ok, Carlos responded within 25 minutes from my original email (yes, he IS great.) He was very transparent that they have just now started to see some delays and currently the new wait time is 6-8 months. He told me I am 4th in line (order date from them was 10/28) so he expects that my order should "fill in" pretty soon (I don't fully understand the K-dealer/KFOS thing so don't entirely know what "fill in" means, but you guys might.) I asked him for his best guesstimate on an ETA and he said we hopefully might get an ETA end of this month/early next month.

He did confirm that he has two SX AWD (non-P) that came available yesterday with ETAs in early March. One is black copper and the other is Sangria (both with black interiors) just in case anybody is looking for that particular color/trim.
 
I ordered a Gravity Grey SX Prestige with Dune Brown interior on 10/5 and got an estimate of 1/29 back in early December.
 
We ordered from Nicole at i25/Fowler back on 12/16, EX Wolf Gray, black interior, NF, tow package. Haven’t heard anything since placing the order. Hoping there are no delays!

anyone else getting a bit concerned that fowler hasn't gotten a single kia in failcat since 12/15. I know that the plant closed during the holidays but other dealers have vins that popped up after 12/15

she is the best. I placed my order with her in November and when I reached out she was super responsive.

I just looked and it looks like if you search by dealer and type in i25, the second listing is for our dealer i25 Fowler, and I’m seeing Tellurides listed as recent as today’s date.

you're right. I was looking at the other i25 but it looks like they got a new dealer code after they change their name

Yeah, it took me a hot second to figure it out, but this looks right. It does look like less inventory may be being processed, or maybe the same amount just at a slower rate.

Riddle me this…I ordered mine on 12/16, and I see one matching our exact description from that day we ordered. What are the odds that’s my car?

Highly unlikely. The day you order is the day they'll put it into their system. KFOS will then pick up the next x cars per trim and after a month or two it'll appear on failcat. once its on failcat, that means a vin has been assigned and its usually another month until its at the dealer.
 
Just got notified yesterday that mine is being pushed back from 1/29 to 3/1.

Wow. What was the reasoning? Safe to assume anyone that hasn’t been picked up isn’t seeing the car until March/April at the earliest then.

I wonder if this is related at all to the new ownership, or simply due to the scarcity of parts elsewhere in the supply chain.
 
Ouch. That doesn’t sound good. Hopefully I can get mine by the end of March.
 
I had read some where on another Telluride forum, that they are still filling Aug/Sept 2021 orders! No clue if any truth to this!

I am October and 12th on the list for an ETA, so seems about right.

Curious to see how this locations allocations play out over the next few months since they have a new dealer code.

You think that’ll cause issues? They look to have gotten 8 for the year so if they keep that pace, we’re looking at about 30 but I’m hoping it picks up since holidays are now over
