Lev Kia is killin' it!

Congrats, @rbfromma !!! She's beautiful! How are you liking your TuxMats? If I remember correctly, you were trying to decide. I hope you like them. I love mine!!

Thanks! So far everything has been great. Thankfully no issues at all and my wife is happy as can be with her choice. How is your Telluride holding up?

We have been very happy with the TuxMats. I was definitely on the fence about them when researching because it looked like they were very textured. As some have said....they looked like the texture of a basketball. This had me leaning towards the Smartliners or potentially the WeatherTech. In person the TuxMats are much nicer looking than I was expecting. I love the coverage of them in all 3 rows. I didn't find it necessary to use the pin to hold down the driver mat and only used a couple of the clips throughout. At this point they are staying put and continue to look great.
 
Took delivery yesterday of our 2021 Telluride SX Prestige AWD in Gravity Gray/Black with Tow package after 25 weeks. I can not say enough great things about Lev Kia in Framingham MA and Ken Russian in particular, as others on this site have said before, he's incredibly easy and low key to work with. No need to haggle, nor do you feel pressured, and no markups above the MSRP on the sticker. All it took was a $500 deposit and 25 weeks worth of patience. If you're in the greater Boston area I can't recommend Lev Kia enough!

Did you ever get any updates on it? Vin #, etc?
 
Another shout-out to Ken Russian at Lev Kia. I picked up my '21 EX Premium yesterday. As many have mentioned before, painless experience, great staff all around at Lev Kia, and selling at MSRP!

When did you order? I ordered a white S with premium package on Feb 10th... no VIN yet. Trying to figure out how many people are in front of us and what Lev’s dealer allotment is like.
 
I placed an order on 05/03 for a EX-P, and I was told it takes about 16 weeks. I hope it will be quicker.

I ordered an SX on Jan 29th. No Vin, no communication that order has been picked up. So thinking I am still
In line, and getting a 2022.
 
@jenfowler78, thanks so much for referring Ken Russian at Lev Kia. We had tried other Kia dealerships in eastern MA and they all sucked. We ordered our Telly EX in late November 2020 with Ken @ Lev and it came in early April 2021 as expected. As described, Ken was easy to deal with and no bs. We got our Telly at MSRP less $500 with Kia finance (no prepay penalties). We highly recommends Ken @ Lev Kia!

I placed one on the same day for EX-P with Cameron. He said the same that it can take between 16-20 weeks.
 
I also ordered an SX on Jan 29th, no VIN, no communication that order has been picked up. Expecting to get a 2022 at this point.
 
I called and spoke to Ken today. He said something about a shortage of chips at the factory causing delays. I guess they’ve been quoting 23-30 weeks lately. I was quoted 18, but no vin and no notification that the order has been picked up. Probably looking at a 22 as well.
 
I can't decide on the mats, I am contemplating TuxMats, Weathertech, and Smartliner... Any suggestion?
We have had the Tuxmats for the S for 1.5 years and love them. Easy care and maintenance, they stay in place and do not look worn at all, even with 3 very unforgiving kids and their sports.

I might have you beat there. On October 9,2020 $1,000 down, 21’SX AWD NF/P/T….still no update on pickup status or VIN. Pretty sure at this point I’m getting a 22’. I didn’t mind waiting but just sucks that I’m almost rounding into the 8th month of waiting which is at that excessive point for me.
 
Any of you received updated information about the 22 model changes? I am working with Cameron and have not received any updates so far. I reached out to him but he had no updates about the changes. What do you think?

Hey-O - did you happen to get any info from Cameron at Lev Kia? I am working with Ken Russian (who has been great) on the Telluride we ordered in March, and I am assuming the order that was placed will be switched over to a 22 model, but wanted to see if you heard anything different if you happened to hear back from Cameron.
 
Anyone on the thread that ordered a telluride in the January-March 2021 timeframe recieve an update from Lev Kia that a vin has been assign or the telluride delivered? We ordered in March, and wanted to see how others were doing.
