Not making Snow White Pearl anymore?

[Jarmski10]

I have recently (last week) ordered a Telluride in Snow White Pearl. When i check Failcat, it looks like there was only a handful of SWP (less than 10) made over the past 60 days, and a couple hundred made in early August. Should I be concerned about my leadtime as it looks like they havent made SWP in over two months? Or do you think they will have a string of days where they make a ton like before.

Seriously starting to second guess my decision for SWP instead of GWP.

SWP is shifting to GWP and there is a wide range of sales/dealer awareness around this. It shouldn't impact the lead time of your vehicle.

I am only a potential future Telluride owner who feels educated based on the knowledge of other users. I don't know this color switch to be fact, just trusting others here on the forum. I am actually in the same boat as you - ordered SWP because at the time my dealership said GWP was for Nightfall only. They are still in that mindset but I'm just assuming my actual VIN will be produced GWP. It doesn't help that the Kia 'BUILD' function on the website still allows a user to choose SWP. These are odd disconnects that give me pause about moving over from the Honda brand (five vehicles) to Kia. I'm going to have my wife test drive some alternatives in the next five weeks before our Telluride arrives and then we'll make a final decision.

Here is a long thread on the subject:
Snow White Pearl vs Glacier White Pearl

That makes sense. End of August was supposed to be the last production run of SWP, which Failcat data supports.

SWP ended production in August and everything after that will be GWP. Many dealers are uneducated about this and still say you can get a SWP. Other posts on here can confirm it along with some of the dealers that are working with us on here. If you ordered a SWP but has not been built yet it will convert to GWP.

Sorry I was wrong it is gwp.
