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...

It’s my understanding that the dealer had no one in line (for SX or whatever) at the time I placed the order.
The timelines provided by dealers vary greatly, and I don’t think most buyers realize this. Some dealers can get them a Telluride much more quickly than others due to the widely varying lengths of dealers’ local waitlists.
It’s often unclear that it isn’t Kia’s timeline that’s being quoted, but the combination of the specific dealer’s waitlist (if one exists) plus Kia’s queue and production process. Many people will never realize they could have gotten their Telluride months earlier.

I think production/delivery has caught up and now the wait time is much less than 4 months ago. Mine was picked up on December with a March 8th ETA. Delivery was Feb 6. That's 2 months from KFOS to Delivery which is great.

No pics yet, it was pretty dirty after being on the back of a trailer across the entire United States (shipped from FL to OR). Spend the evening removing the stickers, putting in the floor mats, and reading the manuals to figure out how everything worked.
Got the boosters and car seats installed. My 5-year-old was pretty excited to buckle in all by herself. My 4-year-old had a little trouble, she should figure it out soon enough. My youngest keeps calling it the "Zoom-zoom car" even though that's what we call my turbo Miata track car. I'm excited to not be driving my 03 Silverado 2500 every day anymore. Will be taking it over the mountains for this weekend.

Telly delivered at the dealer, and after a painful 6 month wait I cannot get to the dealer (180 miles away) due to Ice storm in Texas...which doesn't look to clear until next Friday 
. No way I'm driving it until the roads are all clear. So I wait...

While very frustrating, it’s a prudent decision. In no time you’ll be enjoying her for years to come. Stay patient.Telly delivered at the dealer, and after a painful 6 month wait I cannot get to the dealer (180 miles away) due to Ice storm in Texas...which doesn't look to clear until next Friday

Here you go... Too a while to post after picking it up on Monday. It has been COLD this whole week and didn't go outside until today. Love this baby so far.

congrats on your new Telly!! I will have my vehicle shipped east to west (Or) as well. What company did you use for shipping? Did you opt for enclosed? If you don't mind me asking, what was the approx cost of shipping?

I'm afraid I don't know the answers to any of those questions, everything was handled by the dealer (NowCar) and the shipping was not itemized out in the sales price.
99.99% sure it was an open trailer though.
